Pigeon Forge has some of the best Smoky Mountains attractions for families and fun things to do while you’re in town. We know you’re looking for entertainment, not just for yourself but also for the kids, so we want to share a few of the best Pigeon Forge attractions for families. From our action-packed lumberjack show to challenging mini golf, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
1. The Island
If you’re looking for a place where you can shop, play, and relax, you have to take your family to The Island. It’s one of the fun and cheap things to do in Pigeon Forge for families, since you can walk around for free and sit down to watch the iconic Island Show Fountain! This summer, there’s even a special Jurassic Park installation, with several larger-than-life dinosaurs in the fountain and around the complex.
You can also browse through specialty stores, from toy stores to candy shops to boutiques, or ride the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel to see incredible views of the Smokies. The kids will love the ropes course and other fun thrill rides, and there are toddler-friendly activities too, including a beautiful carousel!
2. Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay
Another of the best family attractions in Pigeon Forge is Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay, an award-winning mini golf attraction with a rooftop pirate-themed course and an indoor mermaid-themed course, both of which have incredible props and photo opportunities, special challenges, and audio-visual features that the whole family will love. Once you’ve enjoyed a few rounds of friendly competition, head to the candy shop for a sweet treat; the Pineapple Dole Whip is also delicious!
3. TopJump Trampoline & Extreme Arena
A trampoline park is one of the top kid-friendly things to do in Pigeon Forge, especially for families with children who have lots and lots of energy! At TopJump Trampoline and Extreme Arena, the kids can choose from a variety of activities like the open jump, a ninja course, dodgeball, basketball, an arcade, and more! The Climbing Center has all kinds of unique towers and obstacles to climb, and there’s even a Toddler Zone for the smaller kids.
4. Lumberjack Feud Supper Show
We can’t talk about attractions in Pigeon Forge for families without mentioning our Supper Show! Arrive at least 75 minutes prior to showtime and chow down on a Southern feast. The menu is inspired by Paula Deen herself, with juicy BBQ pork, sides, rolls, and dessert! We also serve concessions during the show, from nachos to pretzels, and exclusive drinks such as our Lumberjack Lager and Paula’s Buttercream Soda are available for purchase.
Adults and kids alike will love watching our lumberjacks compete head-to-head to see who comes out on top in 13 events. Watch axe-throwing, wood-chopping, log-rolling, and more. You won’t be able to take your eyes off the lumberjacks throughout the show!
