Set against the misty blue backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is a gateway to 500 thousand acres of Appalachian wilderness. If hiking over 800 miles of mountain trails and camping in dense ancient forests isn't your thing, head over to Dollywood for a different sort of fun. Founded by country queen, Dolly Parton, Dollywood combines rollercoasters, waterslides, and live bluegrass and gospel concerts, with a down home country fair.

We stopped at this arcade on our impromptu trip to TN from WV... Samantha & Tori we’re constantly cleaning & helping customers! I was impressed from the start! The bathrooms were TOP notch! Smelled and looked so clean! They were extremely nice, helpful and so calm with my overly excited children who couldn’t pick out their prizes. Tori heard us talking about how we drove straight there to have a little fun & planned on heading straight back home. They offered to take our picture to display on the big screen! It was a lot of fun, with an amazing atmosphere. Big Top Arcade was the highlight of our little trip. We are definitely coming back!

My husband & I love to do wine tasting but having a toddler makes it difficult. We stumbled upon mountain mist farm winery & loved it. It was nice one of us could walk around the property with our son to keep him interested. This isn’t a commercialized winery like you’ll find on the main drag. Great wines, all made with fruit grown in their farm. The wine is $14.95/bottle. We bought 6, so John gave us $1.50/bottle off. They also offer jams, jelly’s & butter with fruit either grown on their farm or in the county. They were all $5.95 for 19-20oz. Jar. The biggest thing to know is they don’t take credit card! Check or cash only, so come prepared.

I was on a mission to find some little mini moonshine jars for friend back at home. I prefer the minis until I can find one I like (not big in the tastings) and they make good little bring home gifts! Well, after 2 distilleries and many gift shops later, I found this little slice of heaven. Got 6 minis in all of the different flavors I thought I’d like (they offer the mini version of almost all of their flavors). And along the way, I ran into their jelly candles and gel melts (think wax melts but in jello form ????) and oohhweee do they smell AMAZING! You really can’t beat the price in this little “off the path” shop! I think I paid around $6.50 for the mini moonshines and they had a buy 5 get 1. And the bigger jars are $25. They also offer many more flavors than you main distillery joints. I’m talking cotton candy, pina colada, banana pudding, orange creamsicle, and SOOO many more. And that’s just the moonshine... they also offer many flavors of dark whiskey and wine as well. If you’re in the area and looking for some good, different moonshine, I’d stop in for a quick visit. They also offer free tastings in case you’re not sure on what to get. Stop in, you won’t regret it!

One of the best shows ever, a little skeptical at first sighting, off beaten path , in back of parking lot with couple block buildings, first impressions where, what the hell did we get into, gut once we entered inside office talked to owner about show, we realized , we’re here now n let’s enjoy the show, it’s a small theater, with old movie seats in couple rows, we sat up front center stage, after awhile a small bus group came in to see show, it was really great show very personal, would definitely do it again soon , as they say don’t judge book by it’s cover, glad we stuck in there, we found a little gem , Elvis is great entertainer....

10. The Mountain Monster
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
The Mountain Mile, in partnership with Soaring Eagle Zipline Inc., has announced a “monstrous” new trio of one-of-a-kind thrill rides at the Mountain Mile entertainment complex (2655 Teaster Lane, Suite 400) in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: the Mountain Monster, Monster Fall and Monster Launch. All three unique attractions operate from a single 190-foot tower, where riders will drop, dive at the center of the growing entertainment complex. The Mountain Monster is an aerial dive ride that drops two passengers from atop a 175-foot platform, swinging them out over the complex at 65 mph. The eight-passenger Monster Fall, a true freefall experience that slowly raises riders to the top of the 190-foot tower, offering a birds-eye view of the surrounding Pigeon Forge valley. With its unique, wide-open saddle seat design, the Monster Launch gives the sensation of complete exposure, as two brave riders sit back-to-back and are “slung” 140 feet straight up into the air.
