Are you looking for a great place to take a family vacation? If so, take a trip to Pigeon Forge. The area has lots of kid-friendly restaurants as well as attractions. Read on to learn more! Here is a list of 4 fun things to do in Pigeon Forge with kids:

1. Dollywood

One of the reasons why the Dollywood theme park is such a beloved tourist attraction is that there is something for everyone to enjoy. The older kids who are looking for a thrill will love riding the roller coasters, one of which is the Wild Eagle. Riders sit under an eagle’s wings and experience the excitement of flying. On the other hand, little ones will have fun on the Busy Bees or the Amazing Flying Elephants rides. The whole family will have a great time on the Dollywood Express, an old-fashioned train ride through the Smokies. In addition to the rides, Dollywood also has entertaining shows. They have music, dancing, and even animals!

2. Pigeon Forge Snow

Pigeon Forge Snow indoor attraction

Pigeon Forge Snow is another one of the fun things to do in Pigeon Forge with kids. This is a unique attraction because it is America’s first indoor snow park. The park has real snow year-round that never melts. Additionally, the temperature inside stays at a comfortable 60 to 70°F. This means you can have all the fun of being in the snow without heavy winter clothes. Kids will love going tubing and racing each other down the slopes. If they want a more laid back activity though, there is also a Snow Play area where visitors can use the snow to make things, such as snowballs and snowmen!

3. Titanic Museum

Kids love Pigeon Forge’s many museums because they can learn new things through interactive activities. One of these is the Titanic Museum. Visitors learn about the grand ship and its unfortunate demise when they explore the exhibits. See what being on the ship was like by walking up the replica of the Grand Staircase and shoveling coal in the boiler room. On the other hand, learn more about the sinking of the Titanic by attempting to maintain your balance on a ship’s stern, sitting in an actual-size lifeboat, and sending out an SOS signal. At the beginning of your visit, you get a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger. Discover their fate in the Memorial Room before you leave!

4. MagiQuest

Magiquest in Pigeon Forge

MagiQuest is a unique indoor attraction that is named after an interactive scavenger hunt game. Visitors pick out their very own magic wand which they’ll use along with their clue book to complete various quests and become a Master Magi. In addition to this game, MagiQuest has an arcade where you can play all your favorite games and win prizes. You’ll also have a great time playing Pirate Golf. It is an 18-hole miniature golf course that goes through a lively pirate village and aboard a pirate ship. If you’re up for yet another challenge, try to find your way through MagiQuest’s black light Odyssey Mirror Maze!
