These indoor adventures in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville will put a smile on your face that you won't be able to wipe off.
Fresh air. Sunshine. Clear, rushing rivers. Gorgeous mountain scape. These are all plentiful in the Smoky Mountains along with abundant wildlife, stunning snowfalls in winter and azure-blue skies in summer. But not everything wonderful is outdoors in the Smokies. We also offer lots of exciting adventures that take place indoors.
Indoor Skydiving
Always wanted to sky dive, but have a fear of heights (or death!)? No problem! Indoor skydiving gives you the same adrenaline rush without the danger of falling from 20,000 feet in the air. With professional trainers to guide you through all the moves and safety rules, you can end up flying in under half an hour.
Created from a giant, vertical wind tunnel, you get the thrill of a freefall dive while being only about 7-feet off the ground. This procedure is commonly used to allow professional skydivers to hone their skills before their first solo jumps. The simulated freefall experience is a thrill a minute.
WonderWorks
Billed as "Tennessee's only upside down attraction… an amusement park for the mind," WonderWorks offers over 100 interactive exhibits for children and adults. Ever wondered what it would feel like to experience an earthquake that ranks 5.3 on the Richter scale? How about holding on for dear life as hurricane-force winds do their best to knock you off your feet? The Disaster Zone lets you find out firsthand.
The Challenge Zone lets you test your strength and endurance with a giant rock-climbing wall, a drag strip race car, a bed of nails and more. Perhaps you'd rather launch into outer space and explore the inside of a Mercury Capsule replica and astronaut's spacesuit? Bubble rooms, roller coasters, lighting effects and an illusion gallery that would put Willy Wonka to shame are all there for discovery at WonderWorks.
Forbidden Caverns
Ready to go spelunking? If cave exploration is an interest of yours, you'll love the Forbidden Caverns. Not really forbidden, these caverns are some of the most spectacular in the country. The Forbidden Caverns website states, "Visitors are provided with an entertaining and educational tour past sparkling formations, towering natural chimneys, numerous grottos and a crystal clear stream." This is accompanied by special lighting and sound effects as well as narration by a professional guide who explains ancient mysteries and Indian legends about the caves. You'll even unlock the cavern's shady past as home to moonshiners in the 1940s.
Outfitted with handrails and lighting for safety, the cavern tour typically takes about one hour to complete. This exploration is perfectly suited for adults and children alike.
Looking for alternatives for rainy days? Just want to explore everything fun about the Smoky Mountains? These indoor adventures in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville will put a smile on your face that you won't be able to wipe off. Make plans now to take part in these great indoor adventures during your next trip to the Smoky Mountains.
