Play one of the world's most interactive and state-of-the-art mini-golf courses consisting of 36 exciting and interactive holes with animated animals and interactive displays. Kids and adults of all ages will be amazed and delighted as animal critters such as raccoons, bears, chipmunks, turtles, mice, 'possums, skunks, rabbits, foxes and heckling buzzards highlight the golf course. The theme of the mini-golf course replicates the days of yesterday when a Tennessee hero named Davy Crockett roamed "them-thar hills." Fort Crockett, Possum Hollar, a Trading Post, Old Mill, and Frog Fountains are only a few of the many entertaining exhibits you can find while leisurely playing 18 or 36 holes. The themed course is loaded with original and very challenging holes, complete with logs, steep drops, splits, over/under ramps, a black hole, lots of water and a replica of a bona fide outhouse that flushes.

In 1999, Ripley's acquired property once known as the Grimsby & Streaper Casket Company. Although advised by locals that unnatural things went on inside, Ripley's began conducting tours of the former casket factory until decisions can be made as to how to better utilize this location. Until then you have the chance to visit the factory, closed permanently in 1926 due to the strange disappearance of both company owners. Enter at you own risk. Ripley's assumes no responsibility for your return, or your sanity.
