Things To Do In Pigeon Forge with The Legend

good afternoon everybody and today we're coming at you from one of our favorite vacation destinations in the entire country the Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge Tennessee I'm the legend joined by my wonderful girlfriend Molly and in this video here we're going to show you all the best things to do here in Pigeon Forge from the mountain coasters to Dollywood to moonshine tasting shopping go-karts crazy wild roadside attractions and more these are the things to do in Pigeon Forge now the star of the show here the island of Pigeon Forge is of course the ferris wheel itself it is a big giant probably 200 foot tall observation wheel and if you want to go on the ride it is $14 to ride you get a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains the island of Pigeon Forge is home to a pretty nice size ropes course you've got two different zipline levels you got the option where you could jump off and be likes foliage is sent it down very nice RCI ropes course quick update on the pricing it is $15 if you want to do this wonderful looking rope scores and then next for five if you want to do the jump so one fun thing if you have kids they do have a selection of little kids theme park style rides here at the island from the happy swing to these wacky looking cars they just gonna run you like probably three four bucks they do a roller coaster as well a very small but fun roller coaster so if you count roller coasters like I do that's always a fun thing to hop on so a couple more attractions here at the island are over here in the far corner near the ferris wheel that includes a mirror maze as well as a VR arena I will say these are not very inexpensive attractions the mirror maze running $15 the VR is 17 or 18 dollars and then they also have buffer cars your spins own style bumper cars [Music] the LM minute Pigeon Forge is also full of shops lots of different fun shops all different kinds of things from service tumblers to a shop where you get your picture taken with birds 2 5 and 10 candy and birds famous cookies this is also the area where you find the Margaritaville restaurant a very large restaurant as well as they have their own Margaritaville Hotel couple more attractions here you got the interactive 7 D adventure then already a 12 bucks for one ride or 18 bucks for three rides as well as this ski room so one thing we love doing in our travel says stuffing in Brent breweries and they have one here at the island of the Utah brewing company you get a plane for six dollars we have to have really good price if we could get a sampler flight for $10 but then that $10 give you a $5 coupon off any of the merchandise now if you're watching this video in the future coming in spring 2021 here at the island in Pigeon Forge is a flying theater attraction and it's built by dynamic attractions who's a friend of our channel here and they do the best flying theatres in the world these are the people that built soar in at Walt Disney World or California Adventure so this ride is going to be top-notch world-class when it opens next year jelena Pigeon Forge is home to Paula Dean's family kitchen which is a really fun family-style restaurant home to one of my favorite breakfasts I've ever had in my entire life now the most famous attraction in all of Pigeon Forge is of course Dollywood which is Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain themed Park but don't be worried it is much more about rides and roller coasters than it is about dolly yourself the park features over 30 rides and nine different roller coasters and for me personally this is the real star of the show is I'm a huge fan of roller coasters and the star attraction is lightning rod which is the world's only launched wooden roller coaster that goes up a mountain plays in a valley has the some of the most insane airtime you'll find on any roller coaster and for me it's easily one of the best roller coasters in all of the United States but there's more fun that Dollywood than just the rides as they've got a wonderful selection of shows that change seasonally so if you go in the spring it'll be different shows than you see in the summer which would be different shows than you see at Christmastime also a wonderful thing about Dollywood is the craftsmen's Valley area and this is an area which is kind of more like a museum than a theme park in which you could see craftsmen working on their crafts so things like pottery and glassblowing blacksmiths and more can be found in that section of the park and if you get hungry while you're at Dollywood you have to have some of the famous cinnamon bread the wonderful snack that's sold in the grist mill as it's one of the best theme park snacks you'll find anywhere now here visiting Dollywood with little ones last year they added a brand new Wildwood Grove section of the park which cost them over 30 million dollars and features six rides all for the whole family to enjoy together what would have really awesome playground for the kids now one thing to be wary of with Dollywood it's a wonderful wonderful park but with a world-class theme park does come a world-class price as it cost $79 for an adult to go to Dollywood for one day now right next door to Dollywood is Dollywood splash country which is their separate gated water park which features all of your favorite water park type things tons and tons of water slides pools lazy rivers for the whole family to enjoy now I didn't really like splash country as it's set in the woods and a lot of the slides use like the terrains of the mountains there's tons of trees so when you're walking around you're not getting too hot it was a pretty place to be now by far the highlight of splash country for me was a river rush which is there uphill downhill rollercoaster type waterslide which actually launches the rafts using like electromagnets it's really cool and probably the best waterslide I've ever been on my life now if you're sure didn't go into splash retreat it is about $50 to get into but if you want to go to both Dollywood and splash country a lot of times there's combo passes for the two that'll save you a bunch of money Pigeon Forge is home to tons and tons of wacky tourist attractions in this next segment we're going to show off a whole bunch of them starting here at WonderWorks now WonderWorks it's kind of like an indoor amusement park slash Science Center yeah featuring all sorts of exhibits from some educational stuff some fun stuff I would say if you have kids it's one of your better options lots of stuff to do it's cost about twenty four dollars to eat in there but there's lots of interesting things if you have if you have kids it's gonna be very very popular nice it gets you out of the heat yeah it's a rainy day rainy day mm-hmm and I mean you got just stop by and take a picture of the building it's buildings awesome so a very different attraction here in Pigeon Forge is Magic West which is a like you get a wizard wand and you run around and different like a forest area of village area a dragon area and you complete quest to redeem runes and it's a very much scavenger hunt kind of like live-action roleplay stuff yeah they give you like clues and you have to go find yeah it was really neat not too expensive II there was like a for one hour of play it's $11 yeah and really you only need one wall and they try to make everyone your party get a wand but you have kids yeah well I had a blast that was really fun time also in there there's an indoor pirate golf as well as an arcade and Emmure maze they do sell combo passes but the Magi quest was the winner and that was a lot of fun so without a doubt the coolest production here in town is Pigeon Forge snow which is indoor snow tubing gonna learn you about $22 for an hour of snow tubing but uh looks super fun you also take like the moving walkway to get up to the top super unique very interesting they also have a snow play area over there that's like seven or eight dollars for half an hour one of the wildest pieces of architecture you'll find on this trip is here at the Hollywood Wax Museum you've got a Mount Rushmore of stars you've got a giant King Kong hanging out for the building now the Hollywood Wax Museum complex is it's a wax museum and there's other attractions as well in that building over there which also is amazingly themed now the wax museum is it's a unfortunately it's a pretty expensive attraction if you want to do just the wax museum it's gonna be $28 but if you wanted to do all four attractions in part of the complex then its $38 the other attractions over here is a Hall of Mirrors a I think it's a haunted house like a zombie themed haunted house as well as a shooting simulator run but again the building oh it's so cool they're definitely the coolest buildings yeah this these in a wonder works I think we do have yet another crazy building here for a tourist attraction this is beyond the lens family fun and this one's a little weird it began its life as a national enquirer museum and most of that stuff is still in there they tweaked the concept a little bit and you have some vr in there now but it's it's pretty odd very very import a bunch of like National Enquirer stuff in part like an Instagram background museum yeah it's a little weird not the worst thing I've ever done parts of it really well done like thematically and oh yeah and parts of it are just odd but again it's another one that cost you 10 or 15 bucks this Paula Deen's lumberjack feud which is an outdoor theater show with showing off all sorts of lumberjack competitions and climbing and chain sawing and log rolling and that kind of stuff they cost about $35 there's also an adventure park next door and here's the son of the stage area for the lumberjack pude keep in mind this show is an outdoor show so depending on whether or how hot it is might affect your experience so here's the Adventure Park area and it's it's really neat the star of this show is the flying ox zipline roller coaster which you can see you load down here and your little harness and then you go up these kids are about to jump about 80 feet down then the accelerated freefall which there's no chance I would ever do that now not at all that would not be for me might be for him but not for me also there's other stuff here like I love this like this is a log rolling experience where you get harnessed up and you could log rolls just like you can see been he did it I would not do it you still have to jump up the edge there roller coaster looks like a lot of fun but again this adventure parks about $35 there's a log rolling here you also have a large-scale ropes course and each degree of the ropes course is their unique elements designed for lumberjack stuff and here's a footage of that zipline roller coaster in action it looks really really fun looks terrifying yeah and you swing you get some pretty good swings on there I find it interesting too the way it's designed like it transitions from that into a actual like zip line style experience and then you go back to the roller coaster track portion of it there it's very unique yeah it really is very very unique but the way that you sway yes and I imagine that we depended on body types and things like that yeah when you just slow down like they slow down quite a bit over there yeah but man fun thing that looks awesome this fun-looking building here is home to the tomb which is an ancient Egypt adventure it's not some some escape room with hype elements in there III don't really think it's a true escape room and you go like room to room and try to solve puzzles and things like that Mali is I guess allergic to it this will run you about $14 so Pigeon Forge does not have a real zoo but they do have this rainforest Adventure zoo a mostly indoor experience for featuring rainforest animals and a really good valley it's only about $13 to go in but they do have lemurs and marmosets porcupines an animal I absolutely love along lots of skinks and snakes there's a petting zoo area so I recommend checking out especially for $13 it's a better value than some of the attractions in town it's also right on the edge of the tourist bubble here possibly the most infamous of all the Pigeon Forge attractions is the Jurassic jungle boat ride a it's actually a pretty well done dark ride past animatronic dinosaurs a really weird ride system the only problem is they charge sixteen dollars for it for a ride that is not at all worth $16 now as a dark ride guy I really enjoy it it's interesting [Music] and I like it but man if you got a family of four and it's a very quick way to blow $60 real quick and also they tend to put their best dinosaurs out front here after that it goes downhill some have better levels of maintenance than others right here's the Alcatraz East crime museum and it is a very interesting attraction about $25 to go in we did it we were in there for about two hours or so and it's a it's odd I would say first of all not good for the kids no don't take your kids there there's a lot of upsetting stuff and just not a lot of fun stuff for the children my highlight they do have a collection of incredible like criminal memorabilia including the famous OJ Simpson's white Bronco so that for me was by far the highlight of the museum I I don't know if I would recommend this only because it's kind of a downer of an experience like it's just a lot of sad stuff and a lot of sad memories and you're on vacation you want to have fun but it is very well done in there very well themed very well presented but might not just be for me this is quite the building this is for the Titanic Museum and this is a very well done tractor yes if you're at all interested in the Titanic you probably very much enjoy it it's very very well done respectful imparts lots of really cool artifacts from the boat itself lots of cool photo ops [Applause] yeah this building is pretty pretty amazing here but this one I would recommend I think it's good it is a little on the pricey side it's about $27 to get in but I say not the best for the kiddos now but if you if you do enjoy the the movie or just the history of the boat or you just want to take a wild family photo out in front businesses quite the spectacular photo op I love how they have the fountain that makes it look like the ship is moving so very neat attraction if you looking for a little extreme outdoor fun mom pigeon course check out the Adventure Park which has zip lines ropes courses and riding stables they've got a series of seven different zip lines but like most of my instructions kind of pricey it's $75 for the zip lines you want to go horseback riding it's $45 and if you want to do a combo package combining a horseback riding time with a zip lining riding time that is gonna be $85 this is a very interesting jacket top jump trampoline park they've got a ninja warrior course in there trampoline park climbing walls virtual reality and the prices aren't that bad if you want to go in there it's $15 for one hour or $23 for for two hours so a pretty good value in there also it's indoors in case of inclement weather and if you have like adventurous kids or I mean you would not like this I would not know I would I would probably go go crazy in there they have an arcade and they candy shop - yeah one thing that's become incredibly popular and something I really enjoyed doing on my trips to Pigeon Forge is visiting some of the moonshine distilleries there's a whole bunch of them in town and when you visit them you get to sample a whole bunch of these moonshine flavors and man when you think of moonshine you normally think of some really really high proof alcohol well that's not the case these are more taste like liqueurs and they have just the wildest wildest flavors on my last trip I had everything from banana fosters to oatmeal cookie to french toast to pumpkin roll to chocolate mint there was such a variety of moonshine there's about five or six different distilleries in Pigeon Forge alone so be sure to check them out now some stores do free samples some stores do like five dollars to try a whole bunch so either way it's not that much money but man it's a good time especially if you like your occasional adult beverage like I do so a newer trend in the past ten years or so here in Pigeon Forge has been the mountain coaster this is a very very different kind of attraction and they are super fun there's a couple of them here in town if you're not familiar with this you ride in a small sled either by yourself or with one other person and you control the speed so if you want to go fast put the brakes down you want to slow it down pull the brakes up and a lot of these are very very long ride so you go on a slow lift hill all the way up to the top of the mountain before coming down and however fast you really want to come down and you can see if you want to go fast you could go really fast I love these things this is the original one we're currently at the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster you can see somebody getting ready to go up the lift over there but they're also not the cheapest of attractions this one cost about eighteen dollars to ride but they are really fun and not something you'll find everywhere it's yeah yeah there's a couple of you tests let's go take a look some of the others Molly where are we goats on a roof yep this is jokes on a roof or goats on the roof it's exactly what it sounds like it is a tourist attraction gift shop with goats on a roof and for a couple bucks you can feed the goats like there it goes food going up to that goat there also have a gift shop with all sorts of goofy stuff in there and they just made that goat stay now for your more thrill-seeking type there is a mountain coaster over here as well a good mountain coaster goes way up the hill as you can see if you look beyond that goat this mountain coaster will run you about $15 I have done it it's really good and I would say out of the mountain coasters in town this one and the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster tend to get the best reviews on the Pigeon Forge side and this is the one I probably recommend going to because you get the D also you get to see the goats on the roof yes and if you have anyone like me who doesn't like these sets of things I get to watch goats in giant gift we are now coming at you from the rowdy bear Ridge attraction which is an interesting concept you've got a couple things over here you've got outdoor snow tubing which looks like a blast like this looks like a lot of fun and I love you you go down in a single or a double tube you take the magic carpet kind of thing to get up to the top and there's also a inverted Mountain roller coaster here with a shooting component so you ride your your your inverted suspended roller coaster and you're actively shooting at targets yes and it was pretty fun it was more fun than it looks because it doesn't go overly fast but the shooting element makes it really fun not the cheapest thing to go to if you want to do the the roller coaster on its own it's $17 if you want to do a combo with the roller coaster and the the snow tubing it's $27 I enjoyed it and one cool thing if you get 50 points on the shooting roller coaster you get a free ticket to ride their Alpine Coaster in Gatlinburg so I got 53 on one of my rides I got a free ticket there also they are building a powered Alpine Coaster which has the potential to be very very wild it's going to be a a prototype designed by the guys at Wiegand that is under construction right now I'm not sure when that's opening but that could go very fast and be very thrilling and that's ready beverage sometimes they're just double tubes fun the next Mountain coaster is over by Dollywood it has an adorable logo in a raccoon this is the Rocky Top Mountain coaster and this one's kind of a little bit different than the other ones this one has four different lift hills where the other ones in town trying to have one big long lift hill and then a big long ride but this one is the longest one in town as far as track lengthwise and ride time clucky in at nine minutes a little on the pricey side though this one runs $18.00 you find coupons for $3 off and it also has some tunnels like themed tunnels which makes it a little bit a little bit more different it's over 20 acres yeah but still that $18 said that's a lot for a ride attraction that's very very popular here in Pigeon Forge is dinner theaters and me and Molly we've done the three most popular ones and the first one here is Dolly Parton's Stampede this is kind of horses and cowboys and good old fun now these dinners theaters they are not cheap this one run you about fifty to sixty dollars and about fifteen dollars less for kids but it's still a good show you have another dinner theater here this is the biblical times dinner theater and a little bit different if you're one of the more religious people come in and visit the Smoky Mountains this might be the dinner show for you it does run you about forty five dollars and I don't really know all that much about it [Applause] another institution here in Pigeon Forge is the comedy barn which is a family variety comedy show kind of done a country fashion this runs a couple times a day about thirty five to thirty dollars for a ticket I've never personally seen it so I can't give you an honest review but what I can say is right next door is one of the premiere places to eat here in Pigeon Forge if you wanted some sort of wacky themed dining experience at Frizzles chicken farmhouse cafe where one of the food's really good and two you dimed with like hundreds of animatronic chickens it is wild another danish option here in town is the Great Smoky Mountains murder mystery dinner show now this is what I can tell you I have never tried it it runs about 48 dollars for your adult tickets but it's interesting to me because they do like three different shows so it makes it more repeatable than some of the other dinner shows in town also I would metric with it being a murder mystery probably a little bit more adult as well the Hatfields and McCoys dinner feud is another one of the dinner shows you can do here in Pigeon Forge and this one we've done it is a lot of fun I really enjoyed this one very much fits the theme of the area food was good I think this might have the best food out of the three dinner shows we've done in town I also think it's the most unique of any of the dinner shows but this one I would highly recommend I think pirates is my favorite but this probably second this one is a much better for I think adult yeah a little more adults than some of the more children phone call if you have kids I would probably go to the pirate one if it's all adults I would probably go to this one and they also have goats outside now if you're a big fan of country music that's probably gonna be the show for you here at the country to night theater advertised as a song as you know songs you don't know in comedy here tickets from about $33 for this one and this is just a show this isn't a dinner theater so this one is probably one of the more odd dinner theater shows in town I believe it's just a theater show not a dinner show but this is the Civil War theater which I saw a preview like they're they're brainwashing channel and it looked pretty strange it was a they advertised it as history and comedy in a battle oh man it's a movie something different now out of the three dinner shows we've done here in Pigeon Forge my favorite is pirates voyage dinner and adventure big giant pirate ship in their giant set giant Lagoon I like this one a lot ya know it was a really good show when we saw it mhm and I think it's a little bit more different like the other ones seen kind of country this one does not feel as punky yeah I think it's really good for kids too like this one is the first yeah and as far as like for me I got big fan a themed entertainment this is the most themed out of the three that we've done more dinner shows this time we're at the grand majestic dinner theater and this one's a little bit different than the other ones because there's multiple shows that play in here there's one called hit parade for to the music of the 50s and 60s the Hazzard hoedown which is The Dukes of Hazzard themed show and then there's also the soul of Motown so we have three different shows they all play on different nights and the tickets for this one run around thirty six dollars for this dinner theater it's a little bit cheaper than the other ones I'll be intrigued by that Dukes of Hazzard the hoedown show that that seemed odd so another thing very popular here in Pigeon Forge is mini-golf it is everywhere along this strip and what a nicer course is here is fantasy golf you've got dinosaurs and sea serpents the ancient volcanoes like look over there you got a unicorn I also love like the dyed water the unicorns right next to a dragon then you can see a volcano in the background there this one this one's pretty neat another quick shot of the fantasy golf where you have the the volcano which trickles through a river the giant sea serpent guy we can actually walk under to get in and then another waterfall over here with a mermaid this course $10 there are two courses you want to play both it'll be 15 right on the strip and newer attraction at the crave golf club which is really wacky looking there's an indoor mini golf course in an outdoor mini golf course and it's also very hot nice because it gets hot outside I'm like right now during the day you wanna play very whimsical yeah very willy wonka look at that whole big crazy tree man gummy bears this is pretty neat little problem the pricey side though it is $15 to play one course seventy dollars won't play too and that ones indoors ones outdoors they do have a coupon right now on the books for BOGO yep where you can i buy one course you get the second phrase yeah phrase course also has two escape rooms okay priced twenty bucks for these staterooms there's a zombie research lab and a made a deep-sea adventure now it should surprise no one that the candy-themed mini golf course also features a giant candy store but what I love this is genius collie this you could get a souvenir ice cream bowl with your name on it like that is I've never seen that before it's really smart a quick look at the outdoor section I love the castle they got like a big gumball machine a train I probably go indoors but hecklers doesn't pass the weather it's nice yeah you've got more mini-golf over here this is Ripley's old MacDonald's farm mini-golf and it's got fly-in pigs it's pretty adorable a very cartoony barnyard kind of thing okay also it's something you probably pair up with the other Ripley's attractions in town really has an aquarium and I believe it or not Museum those are all over in the gallon Berg side but if you pair up the Ripley's attractions normally they go down in price so I'm sure to play this meeting of course it's probably 12 to 15 dollars but it looks in really really nice condition why don't I give you guys one more shot of this and just letting you know the price it is $15 I do like that the the holes have audio tools that play like you'll hear the Scarecrow's talking or the pig talking and things like that [Applause] one meeting of course I really like here in town is Professor hackers lost treasure Gulf and one of the things I like about this first of all you got a cool course with it a big giant waterfall but before you're writing your mini don't get started you take a train ride up to hole 1 we took that train ride all around up the back so I'm not open for our visit right now the biggest thrill you can get in Pigeon Forge can be found here at the mountain monster this tower complex it's three different crazy thrill rides in one right over here we can see those eyes that is going to be a drop tower attraction so you're gonna sit there with eight of your friends go all the way up to the top nice and slow and then drop over there where you can see this is going to be a wild slingshot style ride and then probably their marquee attraction is the big swing ride here so you load up there at a tiny little cartridge you look straight down and then they drop you and you swing this way this does look really neat I'm bummed it's out of it so Pigeon Forge has its fair share of crazy and wild gift shops and my favorite ones are ones like this where you have some sort of wacky thing on the outside and some sort of attraction to come inside like this gift shop advertises that they have live sharks inside and there it is a live shark then an overly large shark but it's pretty cool shark also the tank is some other fish in there too like really really big clownfish look at those guys but the Sharks star of the show and he's a he's pretty cool and right next door to the the live shark gift shop is one where you enter through a giant bears mouth one of the largest gift shops in all of Pigeon Forge is the three bears general store all sorts of stuff in there here's a quick shot of the inside of that gift store and it is a two levels very enlarged your 3d with it historically and now they do actually have like old-timey photos and live bears in the back so we've got some really interesting stuff in here and the aqua massage is right next to an arcade look at these puppets we need a poo and I remember for Christmas the Fab five Disney characters so out back there is a bear exhibit it does cost money to come back here it's not free it's three dollars and 25 cents but a lot of people come to the Smoky Mountains area to see bears and you might see some in the wild we've had lucky some of the scenic overlooks in Gatlinburg yeah like the the big cheer loop type things and you could also see them sometimes in the National Park but if you want to guarantee that you'll see a bear you can see one here for three dollars for 25 cents and I'm surprised how nice the exhibit is and then sometimes you can feed the Bears as well there is a downstairs viewing area as well so you get up close to the bears and you can see him he must got a good smell so I do it appreciate it signs like this that tell you that they have been taking care of bears for 25 years and they're complying with all state and federal regulations and regularly inspected by the USDA and I don't know what the chief WRA is but a good to know that the Bears are on the up-and-up here part of the Bears keep shop as well as he gem mine experience in which the kids get a big ol bucket of dirt and then shift through to try and find some rubies and big gems and stuff like that also there's a random dinosaur time now for a stop at a pigeon forge institution the Apple barn which is an incredible complex like two different restaurants and ice-cream parlor a candy shop a hard cider e of winery and multiple gift shops it's really quite the place you do a quite the snack bar here at the Apple barn of course apple pie pecan pie apple cranberry pie fried apple pie fantastic that's good yeah it's down there echoing don't fix okay I see it clearly you'd also get your all sorts of souvenir cups for the Apple barn for your apple cider since it came highly recommended we are eating at the restaurant here that's the Apple barn and it's every meal comes with free apple fritters and you're a free serving of the apples would Julie alright and once you serve Molly got the fried chicken mashed potatoes and apple sauce which make sense for being here at the Apple barn I went with some meatloaf mashed it is as well mac and cheese and before your meal is a you get a suit and I got broccoli cheddar which is so really really tasty you mean someone very interesting thing about the Apple barn here they've got a bird enclosure in their sake too zoo the doorman burns so if you are a shopper on your trip to Pigeon Forge there is a giant Outlet Center I believe it's Tanger Outlet Center with all sorts of shops and stores and places like that pretty much your normal kind of stuff you do have something you have a moonshine distillery here as well as a winery which is not in most Outlook centers but a lot of your normal kind of milestone so one thing that's become very popular here in the Pigeon Forge area is wineries and wine tasting and something we found on this trip there's what's called the Rocky Top wine trail which these I guess these five wineries all partner together and if you visit three of them and do free samples you get a free wine glass if you visit all five you get free headphones and you don't have to spend anything and it's a sample home treat this is pretty fantastic so oh yeah and they're good places do ya right off the strip in Pigeon Forge here is the Old Mill restaurant and the old mill district so there's a lots of shops and the restaurant is fantastic maybe in there also you can see running right alongside the big Parkway here in Pigeon Forge is the creek itself so there's plenty place you can come in and you stick your feet in that kind I let your dog go swimming the kids go swimming right here in Pigeon Forge very pretty dude and here's a shot of the old mill district the village area with a pottery and candy kitchen over there you've got a blacksmith kind of thing going on and and of course it's Pigeon Forge so there's got to be a moonshine distillery neat area to walk around there is no shortage of interesting shops here in Pigeon Forge here's another wacky gift shop on this trip this one you walk through a giant alligator and they have live alligators and here is the Gator enclosure there's one Gator in there it's actually he's a bigger Gator than I thought really yeah I thought we're gonna see like really little guys another very unique shopping area here in Pigeon Forge is the incredible Christmas place which is this wonderful village there's a candy store you can meet Santa Claus and write letters to Santa yeah the letters to say now really yeah and then you get like the biggest Christmas store I've ever seen in my life quick look at the inside of the Christmas place and it is quite the stores it seems like it never ends like it just keeps going and going good but it's it's quite the place look at this it's like there's a whole village in this section this is quite the story now one awesome thing about Pigeon Forge wildlife you read by the National Park so there is a a bear offer the distance now if you're visiting Pigeon Forge with somebody that likes outdoor activities and getting out there in nature well there's plenty of that to be found here's some video of us river tubing which is pretty cool now the river tubing was about a half an hour outside of town or so there's also whitewater rafting right nearby and you're right next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which is full all kinds of hiking and other wonderful things so one thing there's an absolute plethora of here in Pigeon Forge is go-kart tracks and probably the biggest go-kart complex it's here at the NASCAR speed park and this is a little bit different than some of the other ones as this is a pay one price kind of thing so for $28 you can ride all the rides and go-karts you want now an interesting offer here if you're gonna be here for a week and you got kids that love go-karts you can do an all week pass for forty four dollars and they do have on top of the go-kart tracks as I believe they have eight they do have other rides as well like a small roller coaster a very interesting a car themed carousel you get to go to a lot of theme parks it's the first time I've seen a car themed carousel like a couple over the theme park style rides as well but if you have somebody that really likes go-karts this might be your best value for go-karts now let's go look at some of the other tracks in town one of the nicer go-kart facilities on the strip is the track it's actually a chain there's a second one in town I'll show you later but it's really nice they got this giant bear statue out front there's a couple go-kart courses in the back and you got like this giant bumper boat Lagoon and you got to be careful with these because they're these are the bumper boats with these squirt guns on them so you can get soaked your buddies but the the theming level out here is very very nice and you do have this area called cub country over here which is filled with rides for little kids and they're really cute the kids ride on the run you about four dollars a ride but if you have little ones I want to do some theme park type stuff and you don't want to drop that seventy dollars to go to Dollywood this might be a good idea for then here's a better look at the go-kart track this is the wild woody ones the much larger go-kart track then it is $11 the smaller sidewinder over there is $7.00 and like most of these establishments there is a large third condition arcade filled with free new games and you could win a giant penguin for 9,000 points the apples look at the size of that penguin you've got more go-karts on the strip over here the speed zone which has four tracks for one low price one thing I like is that they have a sign for a buy one get one free special if you go before noon on a weekday so that's a good thing and over here I mean this course does not look very interesting here at the fun stop but again not a bad price twenty-five dollars gets you three go-kart rides as well as ten dollars in arcade play yeah so like a solid value over here I mean there's tons of competition for go-karts but I like that kind of combo deal you can get but you're probably gonna get some better tracks like this ones this one looks decent that one but this one is 40 miles an hour now the foot stop also has one of these soaring Eagles zip lines so you've never been on one of these before you load here then you get drugged all the way up there and then release it's a very gentle ride but very neat I'll quote you a little pricey at fifteen dollars a ride like most of these places the fun stuff does have a large arcade this one is circus-themed and it's really nice because they pump in like a cotton candy smelling here yeah it's go fantastic the police up does have a slingshot style ride and this one's interesting I haven't been on this but my friends have and it's smaller than the other ones so you don't go as high it's a little bit more intense and this is $20 karate go-karts more go-karts this one adventure Raceway looks pretty solid also not much here but it's 750 per person so if you want to write go-karts without breaking the bank it might be a good option and they've got bumper boats as well here's the rockin Raceway another other big go kart track this was 10 bucks a ride it seems like a pretty long track though also big arcade so we are now at the second track location here in Pigeon Forge this one is closer to the island and man look at that go-kart track that looks really really awesome is 11 bucks to ride the go-carts they also have a sky fire here so you'll get attached to down there it pulled up and then swing like the other track this one does have a kids ride area complete with two kids go-kart tracks but I think my favorite part is over here and that is this awesome little kids Ferris wheel it's so cute girls got a swing ship and it swings this track location does also feature a wonderful safari theme mini-golf course and that will do it for our things to do in Pigeon Forge video I hope you guys enjoyed watching it and if you're playing a trip to Pigeon Forge that this helped you out and give you some ideas on what to do on your vacation and I love
