Santa Spotted at Smoky Mountains Waterpark Playing in Wave Pool

With all of the festivities leading up to the holidays, some PR friends in Tennessee told us that the always-elusive Santa was spotted this week at Wilderness at the Smokies resort in Sevierville, enjoying some RnR before his big seasonal rush.

Dave McGregor, general manager at Wilderness at the Smokies, said he could not confirm nor deny the special visitors, but eyewitnesses claim they recognized Mr. and Mrs. Claus the minute the couple arrived and quietly headed for the Wild WaterDome, the resort’s five-acre indoor waterpark. Inside, The Claus’s couldn’t get enough of the wave pool, the Surf Rider, the indoor/outdoor hot tubs or the countless waterslides.
