So the father asked me if there were any more family friendly ( Code Word for Cheaper).

Amazing seeing all the kids- and adults! - dressed up in their matching Christmas PJ’s! Now the father of these young kids was fretting a little about the cost of everything- young couple with three children -that’s understandable given what going on with inflation, looming recession, war, plagues, you name it - and it is happening somewhere in the world as I write this review. I happened to be de - training from the railroad’s River ride when the Polar Express was getting ready to debark into its first trip of the Christmas Season. And guess what? Besides the usual mountain train trips that the Great Smokey railroad offers during the season - they also have their own version of the Polar Express! Its rumored to be one of the best in the country with the train traveling through the mountains. It turns out that the principal reason for coming to Harrah’s was its proximity to Bryson City - where the Great Smokey Railroad is. They were not gamblers and were only staying at Harrah’s so the kids could enjoy the indoor pool and other children friendly amenities.

They had 3 relatively young children with them. I came to right this review after meeting a young couple at the Harrah’s Indoor pool.
