Using cutting-edge digital technology, XPERIA: Ocean Journey transports you beneath the waves to interact with sea creatures and explore underwater wonders–all without getting wet!
Pigeon Forge’s new attraction features immersive images, sounds and lighting to create a one-of-a-kind ocean experience right here in the landlocked Smoky Mountains. Surprise a friendly dolphin. Feel the thrill as a giant sea turtle glides next to you. Hear whales call through the briny deep. Watch out for sharks!
XPERIA is like nothing you’ve experienced before, and unlike anything else in Pigeon Forge. Not AI, not virtual reality, not an aquarium, this fully digital experience is a 10,000-square-foot attraction featuring breathtaking realism, thanks to thousands of video and audio recordings of real animals and ocean environments.
Don 3D glasses and step in front of the 40-foot screen. You’ll feel as if you’re floating through kelp forests and swimming among schools of fish.
Move through room after room of sights and sounds. Watch giant squids, humpback whales, thresher sharks and other seldom-seen animals up close. Interactive technology lets you play with realistic digital animals, like the curious sea lion who imitates your movements!
XPERIA: Ocean Journey is an all-ages attraction. It requires that minors be accompanied by an adult, so plan to enjoy the adventure alongside the kids.
Your undersea trip is self-guided, so you set your own pace. Most visitors take at least an hour to 90 minutes to explore (depending on how long you play with that sea lion!)
Enjoy the experience until 9 p.m. on weeknights and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. This unique outing is a great way to end a day of sightseeing or shopping in Pigeon Forge.
