Top 7 Reasons to Visit WonderWorks in Pigeon Forge

You can’t miss WonderWorks, the upside down building with its roof on the ground! With more than 100 interactive, tech- and science-themed exhibits to explore, where do you start? Begin with these top seven attractions. Each one is a great reason to include WonderWorks in your Pigeon Forge vacation! 

1. Experience an earthquake and endure hurricane-force winds.

Live through the heart-pounding intensity of a natural disaster, without the “disaster” part! A simulated quake rattles and rolls you. A mock hurricane whips up 74 mile per hour winds inside the Hurricane Shack. Learn what causes these unforgettable events, and how science can predict them.

2. Lie on a bed of nails.

Do you dare stretch out on a huge bed of 3,500 nails? We promise: These nails are pointed-end-up! Learn why you can relax on this unusual bed without worrying about going home full of holes.

3. Stand inside a bubble.

Make bubbles as big as you can–you can even try making one around yourself! Ever wonder why bubbles sport beautiful colors? Find out, right here. 

4. Discover whether you’ve got “the right stuff” to be an astronaut.

Climb inside a replica of a Mercury space capsule. Explore a life-sized space suit, the kind astronauts wear on spacewalks. Feel what it’s like to be weightless, then spun and flipped around, in the Astronaut Training Challenge ride.   

5. Have a blast on the world’s largest indoor ropes course.

Climb four stories into the air and conquer challenges including swinging steps, a trembling bridge, tunnels, lily pads, and much more. For an extra adrenaline boost, this ropes course glows in the dark! Included with the price of admission, this incredible ropes course is appropriate both for beginners and experienced adventurers.

6. Play action-packed laser tag.

Strap on your vest, grab your laser, and enter this thrilling black-light maze. Can you survive your mission? If you’re new to laser tag, now’s the time to try–it’s already included with your WonderWorks admission. 

7. Experience a 3D movie inside a motion simulator.

Your seats move, vibrate and transport you inside the special effects surrounding you. Dodge prehistoric terrors in “Dino Safari.” Ride a crazy coaster in “Desert Coaster.” Experience underground thrills in “Wild West Mine Ride.”

Rent a private, Pigeon Forge cabin close to all the popular area attractions. Spend your time at WonderWorks instead of on the road!
