This spring, SkyLand Ranch is reaching new heights with WagonWheeler, a breathtaking rotating swing tower—the tallest in Tennessee. The Boots & Blooms Spring Festival will mark its grand debut, offering thrill-seekers a one-of-a-kind experience with unmatched panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains.
A Ride Inspired by Wild West Legend
Relive the Wild West tale of Big Jack Wheeler, who navigated through a ferocious whirlwind in his Conestoga wagon, earning him the nickname "WagonWheeler." Guests can experience the ultimate thrill at SkyLand Ranch with the launch of our newest multimillion-dollar attraction: "WagonWheeler" — a rotating swing tower soaring 300 feet above the Parkway that promises an unforgettable experience and breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains.
Festival Fun for the Whole Family
Beyond the high-flying thrills, the Boots & Blooms Spring Festival will offer:
✔ Adorable baby animals born on the ranch throughout the spring.
✔ Meet & greet with Dozer, the micro Highland cow.
✔ The Buzzard’s Nest, a 60-foot-tall challenge tower & viewing deck.
✔ Live entertainment & family-friendly activities.
A Culinary Experience Worth the Trip
The festival also introduces an exciting new lineup of seasonal flavors at the SkyLand Bakery & the Great American Outdoor Grill, featuring fresh-baked treats, savory smoked meats, and spring-inspired dishes to delight every guest.
"A Game-Changer for the Smoky Mountain Area"
"This ride is a game-changer," said Mark Williford, President of SkyLand Ranch. "It’s the perfect balance of thrill and beauty—guests will feel the rush of the wind while taking in views that simply can’t be experienced anywhere else. From high-flying adventures on WagonWheeler to heartwarming animal encounters and lively entertainment, there’s something for everyone at SkyLand Ranch."
