I hate to write a negative review, I really do because it hurts these peoples livelihood but I have to...we drove by here a few times and decided to check it out thinking we'd find some unique souvenirs..what we found were overpriced flea market items(early 90's telephones, rubber snakes, etc). Now inside the air conditioned section were some different Indian... More

The best thing I can say about this place is that I made it out of the parking lot. It has a bunch of junk in the store, nothing really neat or extraordinary about the shopping experience. Typical tourist trap. The "moon shine distillery" out back is a joke as well. They have a sign that says no videography etc.... More

Not very friendly people working here. The place is nothing but just another tourist trap, selling tacky expensive Chinese junk. The con job is the hillbilly village in the back of the store. The owner has allowed it to deteriorate to the point it has fallen apart and no longer worth anybody's time. But hey, it is free. More

Sure it sells tacky souvenirs and has old video games and the place is musty. But of all that comes and goes in the PF,Gatlinburg,Cherokee area Hill Billy Village has made it. I have been there a ton of times and have never bought anything and played video games but its a fun place to go to kill time and... More

Just a gimmick to get you into their shop ( which you have to walk through to get into the museum part). It is just a small back yard with a couple of imitation stills.The souvenirs in the shop are very cheap and tacky as well. More

We stopped here thinking it would be a interesting place that might have some different items then the usual stores on the strip, what a pile of junk!!!! And it was filthy dirty too inside. I am pretty sure some of the items they are trying to sell are used, being passed off as new, either that or they just... More

The huge HILLBILLY VILLAGE sign draws you in, however it was not as exciting as we expected. Lots of little trinkets and what not, but the same stuff they sell in every gift shop on the strip. We did enjoy the hillbilly jokes that were displayed, and it was entertaining. Not all that you would expect by the size of... More

I am 42, and I have been going to the Smokies since I was 4. Hill-Billy Village hasn't changed in all of those years, which is unheard of in a Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg attraction, it puts Hill-Billy Village on the same level as Rock City and Ruby Falls, cherished family attractions whose charm lies in their nostalgia. Nostalgia can be... More
