Pigeon Forge

Due to the presence of the Dollywood theme park and Splash Country water park, Pigeon Forge is well-known. You might be pleasantly pleased to learn that there is much more to see in this quaint little town in eastern Tennessee. The Comedy Barn and Country Tonite Theatre host performances by actors, comedians, and singers that are larger than life.

This area is home to many family-friendly, educational museums, such as WonderWorks, the Titanic Museum Attraction, and Beyond the Lens! Additionally, the beautiful surroundings entice visitors: Visitors to Pigeon Forge can take advantage of the parks, explore the surrounding area on an alpine coaster or by ziplining, and go camping and hiking.

Of course, you should spend some time at Dollywood and Splash Country, where there are an astonishing amount of roller coasters, attractions, and performances (the 35-acre water park is packed with slides and rides). But don't forget to take your time, meander through the neighborhood, explore The Island in Pigeon Forge's shops and restaurants, and even pay a vineyard or brewery a visit. There is little doubt that you will like everything there is to see, see, and experience in Dolly Parton's "Tennessee mountain home."
