Pigeon Forge, TN is a great place to visit with family and friends! I have been visiting Pigeon Forge since I was a little girl. There is so much to see and do in these great Smokey Mountains. We just got back from a girl’s trip and it honestly was so fun! I have rounded up some of my favorite places to go while visiting Pigeon Forge!

Where to Go

Pigeon Forge is loaded with a lot of attractions! This is why so many families love to visit. Every year we try out a new attraction!

• Dollywood Theme Park– Dollywood is a beautiful theme park owned by the famous Dolly Parton. I was honestly so surprised how many roller coasters were there. There are also great attractions for little kids up to teenagers. I honestly can’t wait to go back! Make sure you try the cinnamon bread, meet smokey the bear, and pack a light backpack or fanny pack.
• Pink Jeep Tours– Take a ride up the mountain in a pink jeep. If you really want to see wildlife (a bear for example), nature, and a killer mountain view, then you have to book a tour with Pink Jeep Tours. My favorite part was the off-roading. This attraction is over and hour a lot of fun!
• Toy Box– if you are looking for a really fun place to do mini-golf then you need to try Toy Box!
• Titanic Museum– The Titanic museum is a fun attraction because you learn so many interesting things about the Titanic. There are so many different artifacts and they all tell a story. They also have a replica of the famous staircase that you can take pictures on.
• Pigeon Forge Snow– take a super-fast tube ride down the snow! My kids love Pigeon Forge Snow because it’s basically a big giant slide. They even have fake snow for the kids to play in and an upstairs sitting area for the parents to take a little break. It can be a little chilly in there so bring a light jacket and make sure you are wearing pants.
• Flavortown– Flavortown has a bowling alley, arcade, and restaurant!
• The Island– The Island is filled with shopping, dining, and fun attractions. This is where the famous Paula Dean Restaurant is located.

Where to Eat

• Azul Cantina for tacos and margs!
• Old Mill Pottery House Cafe for dinner. They have great meat + sides!
• Pucket’s Grocery for lunch. They have great nachos, banana pudding, and fried chicken.
• Mama’s FarmHouse for family-style breakfast.
• Cinnaholic for amazing cinnamon rolls.
• Flapjacks for breakfast skillets.

Where to Stay
