Published Apr 3, 2025 What is The Truth Traveler? A First Look at Pigeon Forge’s Futuristic Attraction

Take a sneak peek at Pigeon Forge’s newest family attraction! Truth Traveler is an immersive, time-traveling journey through Bible history. 

Cutting-edge virtual reality technology sweeps you into the past, on a ride from the Garden of Eden back home to modern-day Tennessee. And you’ll never need to leave your seat! 

VR and a Planetarium

Slated to open in spring 2025, Truth Traveler will be 26,000 square feet of faith-based, high-tech adventure. You can’t miss its convenient location on the bustling Pigeon Forge Parkway, next to The Island entertainment complex.

Truth Traveler will offer:

  • The custom-designed VR Bible trek.
  • A planetarium displaying the cosmos on a 30-meter dome. This will be the only planetarium in the Pigeon Forge-Gatlinburg area, so don’t miss it!
  • Food and drinks, so you won’t leave hungry.
  • Themed gifts like apparel, toys, games, puzzles, and more.

A Breathtaking VR Trip

What makes Truth Traveler feel like you’re racing through the past? You’ll wear a virtual reality headset, with vivid visuals bringing the Bible to life. Visit the Tower of Babel, see Noah’s ark loaded with animals, and witness the birth of Jesus. Experience these and other famous events as if you’re really there. 

Your state-of-the-art seat moves in perfect coordination with the images as they unfold before your eyes. Soar and swoop through epic events, with realistic wind in your hair and scents in the air. Truth Traveler does more than just show animations. It immerses you in each scene with movement, sound, and smells. 

A Family-Friendly Day Out

Truth Traveler is an all-ages attraction, so everyone from grandparents to youngsters can join in. Kids in particular will love Bot, the cheery animated robot who guides you through the virtual world.
