There is certainly no shortage of unique things to do in the Smoky Mountains during your family vacation! Do you need some help narrowing down your options? Take a look at these must do things in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, perfect for couples, families, and groups of all ages.
1. Outdoor Tubing
Did you know Pigeon Forge is home to the longest outdoor tubing hill in Tennessee? In fact, we are the only attraction that offers year-round outdoor tubing in Pigeon Forge! If you visit during the warmer months, be sure to come back for snow tubing in the winter (and vice versa)!
Keep in mind that tubers must be 40 inches tall to ride; 47 inches tall to ride alone.
2. Trigger Town Old West Paintball
The newest attraction at Rowdy Bear’s Smoky Mountain FunPark, Trigger Town Old West Paintball is a one-of-a-kind activity you won’t find anywhere else! Riders take aim with paintball-style blasters for a fast-paced target challenge, the perfect combination of a shooting gallery and paintball competition. Participants must be 3 years old and 40 inches tall to ride with an adult, 54 inches tall to ride alone. This activity is also weather dependent.
3. Mountain Coaster
Mountain coasters are easily one of the most popular must do things in Pigeon Forge and the Smokies! Families will love taking in the mountain views during the ride; here’s an overview of the top attractions:
- Avalanche Snow Coaster: must be 40 inches tall to ride
- Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster: must be age 3+ and 38 inches tall to ride.
- Rocky Top Mountain Coaster: must be 38 inches tall to ride
4. Safari Hayride at SkyLand Ranch
Who doesn’t love getting up close and personal with some adorable animals? SkyLand Ranch’s Safari Hayride is the perfect activity for families with kids of all ages. You’ll sit in a covered wagon pulled by a tractor around the 100-acre farm and have the opportunity to see llamas, donkeys, alpacas, longhorns, highland cows, sheep, goats, fallow, and sika deer! As the animals allow, you may be able to feed and pet them!
