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.

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.”
