"We were a group of 24 and they were so accommodating last minute. Everything was explained perfectly and the vehicles were gorgeous. Cliff was always on call while we were out so we never felt abandoned. He was extremely patient and when you have a large group like ours it's easy to get stressed. We would 100% stick to this family-owned business next time we are in town!"

The owner has a lot of knowledge of the area and points you in the right direction to see all the beautiful nature Tennessee has to offer!!!"
-James Moore
"Highly recommended. Rented for 8hrs and did the self-guided tour. You can rent for 4hrs, but it's so worth spending the extra $100 for 4 additional hours. The experience is incredible; we saw so many animals on the trails. Definitely ride all the way to Cade Cove. The views were worth every penny spent. The owner is so nice and easy to work with. We were stuck in so much traffic - he walked to us and guided us on the sidewalk to bring us back so we didn't have to wait. DEFINITELY PICK THEM FOR YOUR RENTAL."
-Makayla Jackson
"Me and my husband's family were on vacation and it was our last day here and we were recommended by our camping neighbors and were not disappointed, the gentleman who helped was a very friendly and nice guy, we came right over and he had a 6 seated available which is what we needed, gave us a map and told us to have a great time.. while on our way back he called my brother in law to check in and see if we enjoyed it and even gave us a little extra time to get back due to an accident. This was the best experience we had renting a utv. Please check it out you will not regret it."

An Ultimate Guide To Visiting Pigeon Forge, TN
H ey there, travel enthusiasts! If you’re on the hunt for an adventure that won’t break the bank but is heavy on fun, charm, and incredible views, then you’ve got to hear about our jaunt to Pigeon Forge, nestled right in the breathtaking Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
The Must-Dos of Pigeon Forge
If you’re wondering how to kick-start your trip, whistle along to the tunes at the Smoky Mountain Opry —a dazzling medley of music that’ll have your toes tapping. Or, find yourself cheering on a wild show at Dolly Parton’s very own Dixie Stampede .
Our ultimate guide to visiting Pigeon Forge has dozens of suggestions!
Take a stroll through the Smoky Mountains and stumble upon the gem that is Dollywood . Owned by the iconic Dolly Parton herself, it’s nothing short of an adventure-packed sanctuary that draws over three million visitors a year. It’s not just the rides; the stories, the shows, and the heritage celebrated make Dollywood a Tennessee crown jewel.
Take advantage of the world’s tastiest cinnamon bread at The Grist Mill or the unique finds at Mountain Laurel Home. And if that’s not enough Dolly for you, take a splash at Dollywood’s Splash Country or dream away at DreamMore Resort.
Consider jumping around at TopJump Trampoline & Extreme Arena for a dose of adrenaline. Picture this: trampolines, virtual reality, arcade craziness, and ninja courses. And guess what? Your selfie game will thank you at the Hollywood Wax Museum. Snap a pic with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll or get goofy with Will Ferrell.
Don’t miss out on The Comedy Barn for a laughter-filled evening that’s all about good, clean fun—the whole family’s invited! Speaking of family, you can’t leave without trying The Track, where mini-golf and go-karts will have everyone beaming with joy.
Shop, Dine, and Unwind at The Island
When the sun dips, The Island beckons—a vibrant explosion of shops, tasty bites, twinkling rides, and those perfect people-watching spots we all adore. With more than 60 shops to explore, from the unique Savannah Bee Company to the relic-rich Patriot Peddler, retail therapy here gets a whole new meaning.
The Island’s snack game is strong, too! Byrd’s Famous Cookies or the sweet concoctions at Big Rock Candy Kitchen? Now, that’s a delicious dilemma.
While you’re there, wisp up 200 feet high on the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel and gasp at Tennessee stretching beneath you.
If you can afford the splurge, I recommend SkyFly: Soar America, where you’ll feel like you are flying over some of the top sites in the United States; think Soarin’ at Disney. Be sure to drop in Ole Smoky Moonshine for a samplin’ of the beloved Appalachia spirits.
And before you call it a day, hit the arcades at Arcade City, including the classics and top popular games, and don’t miss out on some serious shopping therapy at The Island’s fanciful stores.
A Touch of History and Jungle of Fun at Pigeon Forge
Ever wanted to crack a case? Work your detective skills at Alcatraz East , where crime history comes alive. Fast-forward to the luxurious and tragic past aboard the Titanic Museum Attraction , where you’ll step into the shoes of actual passengers and crew members. Over 400 artifacts are on display, plus you can walk the Grand Staircase and touch an iceberg.
And hey, whether you’re a kid at heart or bringing your little ones, the wild and whimsical mini-golf at Toy Box Mini Golf will leave you gleaming. The giant Rock’Em Sock’ Em robots can be seen from the road. Afterward, soak up some Civil War history with a 90-minute stage show at Buttonwillow Civil War Theater.
Challenge yourself at an escape room. At the Great Escape Room , adventurers can choose from four different experiences: Poker Night, Escape Artist, Mountain Top Murders, or Rob the Mob. Each provides the thrilling challenge of finding your way out in under 60 minutes.
Dine Like a Local Legend
Ready to chow down? Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud Show is your chance to become part of history’s most delicious rivalry. I don’t know about you, but devouring an all-you-can-eat feast while cheering on feuding families sounds like an unforgettable time to me!
Curious about what is on the menu? Fried chicken, pulled pork BBQ, soup, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, bread, coleslaw, and dessert.
Are you craving some nostalgia with a side of hearty meals? The historic Old Mill dishes out just that, enriching the soul with the spirit of the Smokies’ ancestors. While there, indulge in a complimentary wine tasting at Mill Bridge Winery or scoot over to Pigeon River Pottery for a dose of craftsmanship.
And we’ve barely scratched the surface of Pigeon Forge’s food scene! From Bullfish Grill , where the seafood and ribs reign supreme, to the fluffy pancake stacks of Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin, your palate will thank you.
Suggestions for what to eat at Bullfish include the Spicy Shrimp and Barbecue Baby Back Ribs, which are fall-off-the-bone goodness. At Flapjack’s, the Campfire Skillets are an alternative if you want to skip the sweet pancakes.
Since you’re so close to Sevierville , don’t miss their fantastic food scene, too.
For those longing for a taste of Texas, hit up Alamo Steakhouse for a signature steak (aged, hand-cut in-house, and grilled over an oak fire). At Timberwood Grill , the appetizers (namely Timber Spears and Gold Nuggets) and robust drinks are a prelude to a feast to remember. I’ve never seen anything as cool as the red Solo Cup Ole Smoky Moonshine sampler.
And our top pick? Frizzle Chicken Cafe serves the scrumptious Frizzle Chicken and Waffle, which is one of the best, and a whole menu full of other goodies.
The award-winning Local Goat is a treasure trove of local flavors that support nearby farms. The Cheese Fondue appetizer served with French bread, apple slices, and soft pretzels is satisfying and tasty. Pair your meal with a creative craft cocktail or fine wine from their extensive selection.
You can even buy the artwork right off the walls!
Where You’ll Lay Your Head in Pigeon Forge
During our stay, we cozied up at the Black Fox Lodge Pigeon Forge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton , and guys, it’s a total winner. Imagine waking up to a hot breakfast (complimentary, of course!), zooming through emails with free Wi-Fi, and then splashing down an epic pool slide—yeah, that was our morning routine!
The place oozes that rustic, cabin-in-the-woods vibe but with all the chic comforts. Think plaid vibes and Smoky Mountain charm right out of your balcony.

From magical theme parks like Anakeesta in Gatlinburg to scenic drives and hiking trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park , the Smokies create vacation memories worth savoring – and quite literally when it comes to Pigeon Forge dinner shows.
Catching a dinner show in the area means good laughs, powerful storytelling, entertaining competitions and fun for the whole family, all while enjoying a tasty Southern supper. Read on to discover the best dinner shows in Pigeon Forge, alongside tips from a local expert.
- Best Overall
- Best for Adults

Best Overall: Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Attraction
Courtesy of Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Attraction
Price: From $59.99 Duration: 90 minutes Location: 3849 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
The range of acts at Dolly Parton's Stampede makes it an all-around great show. From arena-style seating, you'll enjoy friendly competition with fellow attendees on the opposite side of the venue – egged on by your show's host. Select guests even get to enter the arena for family fun and games: Kids chase chickens across a finish line, adults swing toilet seats like horseshoes, and one lucky individual gets shuffled around in a barrel as part of a magic trick.
Aside from the lighthearted activities, the show brings spectacular pyrotechnics, horse riding stunts, aerial acrobatics and animal appearances, including buffaloes and longhorns. Dolly fans will also enjoy original songs from the artist played during the performance. The entertainment is paired with a four-course feast of creamy vegetable soup, a homemade biscuit, a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory-smoked pork loin, corn on the cob, a baked potato and an apple turnover; for a drink, choose from unlimited soda, tea or coffee.

Local tip: Have a Dollywood season pass? If so, make sure to take advantage of the deals and discounts it provides at other Pigeon Forge attractions, including Dolly Parton's Stampede. You can get a few dollars off adult tickets when you show your season pass.
Best for Adults: Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Supper Show
Price: From $49.99 for adults Duration: 90 minutes Location: 2530 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
In summer 2023, the popular Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud joined the ranks of Pigeon Forge's dinner shows by adding a camp-style meal to the experience: a barbecue sandwich, coleslaw, baked beans, a cookie and a drink. As Pigeon Forge's only outdoor dinner show, Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud takes place rain or shine in climate-controlled grandstands. Audience members pick which family in the feud to root for (Team Dawson or Team McGraw), and then watch the show's competing lumberjacks undertake ax throwing, log sports and other physical challenges. In addition to splitting wood, the event promises "side-splitting" comedy.
You'll also have an option to combine your supper show ticket with access to the Lumberjack Feud Adventure Park. This adjacent theme park includes an 80-foot freefall jump, a high ropes course, logger-related sports and a zip line rollercoaster.
Local tip: If you're looking for another unique show in the area that adults will enjoy, consider checking out The Listening Room. Based on its sister location in Nashville, the venue hosts musicians who sing and tell the stories behind their music. While it's not a true dinner show – meaning your meal is not included with your ticket – audience members are encouraged to order from the restaurant's full menu and bar during the performance.

Best for Families: Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
Courtesy of Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
Price: From $59.99 Duration: 90 minutes Location: 2713 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
Sea lions and tropical birds may not be what you first associate with the Smokies, but at the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, you'll see these creatures and more. Set in arena-style seating with full-sized pirate ships, the show follows the family-friendly stories of infamous pirate Blackbeard and his quartermaster, Calico Jack, leading the Crimson and Sapphire crews through adventures. You can expect to see high dives into deep water, acrobatic mermaids and performances reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil.
Center seats provide an excellent view. Sit in the lower levels, however, if you and the kiddos don't mind getting a little wet as part of the experience. Along with the entertainment, guests are served a four-course meal. Some of the feast's highlights include swashbucklin' sugar-cured ham, cracklin' pan-fried chicken, a buccaneer biscuit and a specialty dessert.
Local tip: The Pirates Voyage theater sits along the Pigeon Forge Riverwalk Greenway – a paved 4-mile path that follows the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River. The walkway runs from Patriot Park at its southern end (near popular restaurant The Old Mill) up to Old City Park. About halfway along the path, close to the theater, it passes The Island , a go-to spot for rides, shopping, lodging and dining. If you'd like to get some steps in, explore other stops in town and avoid post-show traffic, you'll find free parking at both ends of the greenway and at The Island for an easy stroll to the theater.
Best Comedy: Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud
Courtesy of Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud
Price: From $59.99 Duration: 90 minutes Location: 119 Music Road, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
The Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud promises feudin', feastin' and family fun, as it plays off the historical rivalry between two families. The show centers on a hillbilly theme, complete with a flying contraption deemed the "billycopter," as well as "divin' hillbillies and divin' dogs" in an onstage swimming hole. Your dinner servers remain in character as part of the show – offering up fresh roadkill opossum as an entree, for example – and may even surprise you at some point by taking a dive into the pool. In addition, you can expect lots of singing and dancing and plenty of jokes. This dinner show is all about its playful environment.
Rectangular tables with checkered tablecloths form rows of amphitheater seating where you can enjoy your meal and laughs with your party. This production differs from other dinner shows in the area where you sit in single-file rows to dine. The dinner show is also unique in that it offers an all-you-can-eat Southern-style meal, with favorites such as feudin' fried chicken, pulled-to-pieces pork barbecue, smashed mashed taters and coleslaw.
Local tip: If you're looking for laughs but don't need the full dinner service, check out Pigeon Forge's Comedy Barn Theater for clean humor that's suitable for the whole family. Additionally, if you're visiting Pigeon Forge during the holidays, note that the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud becomes the Christmas Disaster Dinner Feud for a seasonal spin on the same antics.
Best Murder Mystery: Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show
Price: From $53.84 for adults Duration: 2 to 3 hours Location: 2682 Teaster Lane, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
This interactive whodunit theater offers four different shows: Moonshine Murders, Who Shot the Sheriff, Marriage Can Be Murder and Killer Prom. Attendees can arrive a half-hour before the show's start time to fill out a clue packet while enjoying beverages and the meal's first soup course. After the show's first act, entrees are served, and then the second act begins. Guests then receive dessert before the third and final act reveals the story's murderer. The show takes place throughout the intimate dining room, making every seat a perfect choice.
The theater's menu offers special dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meal options. Otherwise, every meal comes with a choice of three soups, country fried chicken, white pepper gravy, mashed potatoes, country-style green beans, a dinner roll and a choice of three cheesecake flavors. Soda, coffee and iced tea are included with the meal; beer and wine coolers are available for an additional cost.
Local tip: The Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show is located on Teaster Lane across from Pigeon Forge's Mountain Mile shopping, dining and entertainment development. Stop by before or after your show for a moonshine tasting at Junction 35 Spirits or a honey tasting at Savannah Bee Company.
