2. Island Mirror Maze

Mirror mazes are one of the best activities for the whole family because they are great for children of all ages. At over 3,000 square feet, the Island Mirror Maze is one of the country’s largest maze attractions. As you try to navigate through the maze, you will be met with twists and turns and many dead ends. Just like The Escape Game, this is a fun activity where your family will be forced to work together to find the way out.

3. The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel

If you are looking for the best way to have a great time while being treated to some awesome views of the surrounding area, be sure to check out The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. The ferris wheel takes you over 200 feet in the air, offering scenic views of Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains. Unlike normal wheels, this one uses all-glass air conditioned gondolas. This makes it better for people who have a fear of heights because they are closed in which helps aid their fear. The gondolas can also fit up to 8 people, making it one of the only attractions where your whole family can ride together. If you want to enjoy a fun ride while also being able to capture some amazing photographs of the mountains, be sure to ride The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel!

4. SkyFly: Soar America

As one of the newest attractions at The Island in Pigeon Forge, the SkyFly: Soar America is a thrilling adventure. As you take a seat in the flying theater, you will feel what it would be like to have wings and fly across some of America’s most famous landmarks. During the ride, guests are suspended with their feet dangling in front of a giant 40-foot screen. They will then be taken on a journey through America. The use of special effects, mists and scents, and wind combine to create an unforgettable experience for the entire family!
