Asheville, NC in August With Young Children
Hi,
Thinking about taking a summer vacation for around 3 nights to Asheville, NC. Our children will be 8 and 4 at the time (flying from NJ, first time flying with our children). Is there enough around the area for a few days for kids that age? I know Great Smokey Mountain National Park is there, but not sure if there are enough activities for kids of that age.
thank you!

They can view the black bears in Great Smoky Mts. National Park (45 minutes west of Asheville). I remember seeing them when I was a kid. A park ranger can tell you the best way to do that. Also, they can view Soco Falls, a double waterfall easily accessible and only 45 minutes west of Asheville.
