Whether you’re visiting the Smokies with your family, a group of friends, or your significant other, there are so many things to do in Pigeon Forge at night. Keep reading for some ideas, perfect for a date night, youth group activity, or late-night family fun:
1. Mountain Coasters

Our Avalanche Snow Coaster is one of the top mountain coaster rides in Pigeon Forge! Why? Because you get to control your speed, and with our Unlimited Ride Wristband (1 and 2-hour options available), you can ride as many times as you want. Experience it once full throttle; then go back and enjoy a more leisurely ride to take in the views!
Can’t get enough thrills? Head over to the Wild Stallion at SkyLand Ranch for another mountain coaster experience! It’s also open late, so you can ride once during the day and then come back to experience the Pigeon Forge lights at night.
2. Outdoor Tubing
Did you know? Rowdy Bear’s FunPark is home to the longest outdoor tubing hill in Tennessee! And it’s not just for snow tubing in the winter either! During the warmer months, our tubing hill is just as thrilling, with a 500-foot drop at the end that will have your heart racing.
3. Ski Lift Shootout
Another one of the best things to do at night in Pigeon Forge TN is our Ski Lift Shootout! Part alpine glider, part mountain coaster, this is an experience that you can’t find anywhere else in the Smokies. Take aim and see how many targets you can hit; ride multiple times to see if you can beat your score!
4. Watch the Sunset
Nothing is prettier than a Smoky Mountain sunset, which you can enjoy both from our adventure park, including the mountain coaster and outdoor tubing hill.
