Discount runs Sept. 6-12 for residents of 11 East Tennessee and Western North Carolina counties.
GATLINBURG, Tenn. — Residents across East Tennessee and Western North Carolina can get a break on admission to Ripley’s Tennessee Attractions this month as part of a weeklong community giveback program.
Ripley’s County Days runs Sunday, Sept. 6, through Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026. During the promotion, residents of 11 qualifying counties can receive 50% off general admission, single-attraction tickets at Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.
Ripley’s also is using the promotion to support a local nonprofit. For every discounted adult ticket sold during County Days, Ripley’s will donate $2 to Sevier County Food Ministries, a volunteer-driven food pantry that has served Sevier County since 1992.
“Our neighbors are the reason we’ve been able to call the Smokies home for decades,” said Dustyn Ivey, general manager of Ripley’s Tennessee Attractions. “County Days is our way of showing the love back!”
Residents of the following counties are eligible:
Tennessee: Blount, Cocke, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox and Sevier.
North Carolina: Haywood, Madison and Swain.
To receive the discount, residents must present a valid photo ID showing an address in one of the qualifying counties at the attraction’s ticket window.
The offer applies only to general admission, single-attraction tickets. Combo tickets are not eligible.
Tickets must be purchased in person. The discount is not available online or by phone and cannot be combined with other discounts, promotions or group rates.
County Days is valid Sept. 6-12 during regular operating hours.
