Planning a Pigeon Forge vacation itinerary? Whether you’re visiting with young children, pre-teens, teenagers, or a mix of all three, this guide will ensure everyone stays entertained, not bored! Here are the top 10 things to do in Pigeon Forge with kids:
1. Soar, Glide, and Slide at Slick City
Slick City Action Park is home to 10+ massive indoor slides, from the twisty Corkscrew to the thrilling Mega Launch.
Tickets are available in 90 and 120-minute time slots. All slides are suitable for ages 4+, and toddlers have access to their own soft play areas to explore!
2. Jump, Dunk, and Dodge at Slick City’s Air Courts
In addition to slides, you’ll love our sport air courts! Perfect for high-energy dodgeball and basketball games, our springy, air-cushioned courts were designed for maximum movement, speed, altitude, and fun!

6. Try Mini Bowling at Crave Golf Club
You’ll also find mini bowling lanes at this mini golf attraction, a unique spin on the classic game! The smaller bowling balls and pins are great for kids; plus, it can be a surprising challenge for teens and adults.

No list of things to do with kids in Pigeon Forge is complete without a dinner show! Kids love Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud Supper Show because of the all-you-can-eat buffet before the show (ideal for big appetites) and the interactive show elements (perfect for high-energy personalities)!
Be sure to stick around afterwards for photos and autographs with the lumberjacks and lumberjills!
8. Visit a Local Park and Have a Picnic
Sometimes you just need a quiet spot to spend an hour or two: Wear Farm City Park and Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge are two great places to take the kids for some free, uninterrupted time to play, relax, and regroup for the rest of your fun day out in the Smokies.
9. Explore the Riverwalk & Greenway
The Pigeon Forge Riverwalk stretches along the Little Pigeon River and offers a scenic place to walk or bike as a family. During Winterfest, this walking trail turns into a magical holiday wonderland, complete with dazzling light displays!
