Experience Cherokee: Unforgettable Cultural Immersion Pass

The staff was excellent. The museum was very informative. We especially appreciated that the museum was in transition. We applaud your efforts to more accurately represent your history as well as your present achievements. We highly recommend visiting. Thank you.

Interesting museum that seemed to be in constant updating/renovations. Bit confusing with very difficult to read small print, poorly located placards. Most of the exhibits appeared to be from current artists so not historic. We expected more and hopefully they will continue to enhance. There was a docent at the end with a small group, but we did not know if we could have joined or if it was offered. Good history lessons of the plight and struggles of the Cherokee people.

The Museum is excellent. It is very informative, if you take the tour, the guide is amazing. Going on your own is faster but your questions won't be answered. I would definitely go again!

Love this place, enjoyed the culture and artifacts they have. The workers were friendly and helpful! Hope to return one day soon! I would recommend this museum to anyone to see, Thank you!

This was a lovely, thoughtful museum. I felt that they addressed the history and struggle between the Cherokee nation and European settlers. The Sovereignty exhibit was one of my favorite parts. Is a stop I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed doing the tour at the museum and learned a lot about Cherokee Indians origination in the US and their impact on our culture.

The museum is under renovation with many missing and incomplete exhibits. A worthy endeavor but not a complete experience worth the high admission price.

The museum is very dimly lite making it hard to read the graphic and the time period plates denoting the eras, for example, The Woodland Era, etc. With the exception of the canoe, it seemed like all the artifacts were replicas with displays of current pottery made by the Cherokee. According to a plaque, the reason authentic artifacts are not shown is "for the health and well being" of the Cherokee. Lastly, don't bother going into the Gift Shop. All the items I saw were "Made in China", One would think that the Gift Shop would be selling crafts made by the Cherokee.

My two teens and myself absolutely cherish this place. While in the Gatlinburg area, we were headed home, but we are so glad that we turned around to visit. The actual museum was pretty underwhelming for so much history that is out there of the Cherokee nation. The staff there weren’t the friendliest either… But- We heard about the play “Unto These Hills” and will be returning to see that! The bears all around town are so appreciated!!!

This museum is undergoing renovations and a lot of it is closed.There are only 2 sections open for viewing,so there really isn't much to see.I think we were there for about half an hour and saw what was there.If in the area I'd make the stop but I wouldn't go out of my way.
