    The Escape Room was incredibly enjoyable. We tackled two rooms, and each was a fantastic experience. Christian was very friendly and helpful, while Camryn and Taylor were outstanding guides, providing excellent hints and making our time there a lot of fun.marionrY4591OD
  3. Remembering Red — Tribute to Red Skelton in Pigeon Forge, Pigeon Forge3

    3. Remembering Red — Tribute to Red Skelton in Pigeon Forge

    4.9· 468 reviews· 1.8 hours

    Two-hour tribute show featuring Brian Hoffman’s impressions of Red Skelton’s best characters, with a nostalgic pre-show of video clips and classic memorabilia.

    This experience was a lot of fun for everyone. It suits all age groups and is delivered with professionalism and flair. We brought my in-laws, who are in their late 80s, along with us in our 50s, and everyone enjoyed it—much to our surprise. It mixes history with a celebration of patriotism and offers plenty of laughs, both familiar and fresh. I highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed, and you're bound to have sore ribs from laughing.M9240LQdavidw

    This performance is an absolute must-see! It was thrilling from beginning to end and even included audience participation, enhancing the fun. The magic tricks were astonishing—truly the best live act I've ever witnessed. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience!jillbM4080UE
  3. Patsy Cline tribute show featuring Jill Spiecker, Pigeon Forge6

    6. Patsy Cline tribute show featuring Jill Spiecker

    4.6· 23 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Two-hour multimedia tribute — live performance by Jill Spiecker as Patsy Cline, video clips, interviews, and an intimate theatre experience in Pigeon Forge.

    We have seen numerous tribute shows, and Jill is unquestionably the finest tribute artist we have experienced. Her portrayal of Patsy Cline was perfectly executed, and her voice is outstanding. Interestingly, a couple at the performance who knew Patsy personally were amazed by Jill’s rendition. Though the venue is older, every seat offers a great view. If you appreciate Patsy Cline, you should definitely see Jill when visiting Pigeon Forge.C7214SNjeffs
  4. Zorbing at Outdoor Gravity Park in Pigeon Forge, Pigeon Forge7

    7. Zorbing at Outdoor Gravity Park in Pigeon Forge

    4.5· 188 reviews· 1 hours

    Admission to OGO zorbing — roll down a giant hill inside a transparent sphere with friends.

    We had a fantastic time. I brought my son, who was initially hesitant, and my wife, who tends to avoid these activities, and we all truly enjoyed it. I wish they would offer all-day passes for around $125; it would be a great idea.phonea534
  5. Hollywood Wax Museum 4-Attraction Pass in Pigeon Forge, Pigeon Forge8

    8. Hollywood Wax Museum 4-Attraction Pass in Pigeon Forge

    4.4· 95 reviews

    Access to four attractions for one price — includes the Hollywood Wax Museum, Castle of Chaos, and more, all located near the Parkway.

    We had a great girls trip to Pigeon Forge and purchased the all-access pass, which was a fantastic deal. The wax museum featured incredibly lifelike figures of various artists. We all enjoyed the mirror maze, as it was our first experience there. The zombie zone was quite scary for me, but sharing the experience with the girls brought a mix of laughter and tears. The final game wasn't my favorite, but I think kids would have a lot of fun with it.anarR1689AZ

    This show was absolutely fantastic! The singers and dancers were exceptional, delivering a lively and fast-paced performance for a full two hours. They showcased a wonderful range of songs, paying tribute to numerous country stars. The patriotic finale was a highlight. It's fun for the entire family, and I highly recommend it!Pat_L
  7. Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Supper Show with all-you-can-eat buffet, Pigeon Forge10

    10. Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Supper Show with all-you-can-eat buffet

    4.4· 772 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Dinner show in Pigeon Forge, featuring an all-you-can-eat buffet and live entertainment including stunts and comedy.

    After experiencing Pirates the night before, this show struggled to measure up. While I appreciated the cleanliness of the venue, the food was average at best. Carrying plates and drinks was challenging without trays, and the green beans were excessively salty. A staff member asked for feedback, and when I provided it, she seemed taken aback and mentioned she would relay my comments to someone who could address them. It's not wise to solicit opinions if you're not ready to act on them. Guests eat on paper plates before moving to bleachers for seating. If you delay, your seats may not be ideal. The uncomfortable bleachers, despite having some support, feel cramped, and the assurance that "all seats are good" is misleading due to obstructing pillars. Many great seats were held for a school group, which diminished our viewing experience, especially of the key lumberjack skills. While the stadium offers shade, three solid walls restrict airflow, and the large ceiling fans were left off, turning the venue into a stifling environment filled with exhaust from chainsaws, making it tough to breathe. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be in June. The show starts slowly but is still enjoyable overall. The inclusion of two skilled female performers, dressed in short shorts while the men were more covered, raised questions about the presentation. This show aligns well with the region's theme and is a solid concept but suffers from poor execution. Some performers appeared disinterested. Nevertheless, we spent an enjoyable evening there; however, if given a choice for a dinner show, I'd recommend Pirates for its wow factor and the comfort of truly good seating.Wanderful_Adventure
