Pigeon Forge

does not do this place justice. It’s worse than that, if possible. My husband and I decided to elope here last year on 7/7/7 and it was even crazier than we expected. We could have walked faster than the pace of the traffic. The other tourists seemed to be straight out of the hills and the attractions weren’t very attractive. We enjoyed a nice little “backdoor” ceremony after lunch at a little chapel near the clerk’s office and decided we’d probably need to start heading home right after to crawl out of the city before dark.

It was fun on a whim, but not somewhere I’d spend too much time.

well my wife and i just got back from a 3 nights stay in pigeon forge. i recommend renting a cabin instead of a hotel. it makes the experience much more enjoyable. although we didnt see too many shows there is tons to do and if you want to go to gatlinburg its only 5 miles away. i definitely recommend the ripleys aquarium.

Having grown up in Tennessee, I’ve been to (really through) Pigeon Forge many times. Trust me, you don’t want to go. There are several shows, but mainly bad ones, and lots of tourist businesses, but again mostly bad ones. The one redeeming quality is they have a “trolley” system that rides from Sevierville to Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg. If you decide to go, visit Gatlinburg instead because it’s situated in the Smoky Mountains and, although as cheesy now as Pigeon Forge, has some quaint and kitschy German-inspired architecture. However, the main attraction to any of these tourist towns should be the Smoky Mountains National Park – lots of beautiful trails and flora.

I was married here, so it will always be a magical location for me and my family. We stayed at a nice hotel with a lazy river ride (but it was dec. so it was closed) which I thought was a neat idea. I would love to go back some day!

Went there on vacation during the summer last year. I enjoyed it quite a bit. There are a lot of different shows you can see.

I went here on a family vacation when I was 12. From what I remember it was kind of boring, nothing to really do of major interest, and it was like 107 degrees in the shade. My view on it may change if I were to go back now as an adult but this is just what I remember.

I went here for a family reunion. I was too young to enjoy it much but I remember there being lots of stuff to do.

We stayed in a log cabin up in the mountains. My whole family went. IT was off season…so a lot of things weren’t open. The Alabama restuarant is cool but the food isn’t that impressive. The Smith family show is REALLY REALLY good…the Comedy barn not so much.

If you like Nashville, this town is way better, I also recommend driving into Gatlinburg from there, it’s an awesome drive, and then on into the great smokeys, most beautiful scenery youll everr see.

Pigeon Forge is like a little girl dressed up in a moth eaten vintage ball gown. It has some appeal, but it’s mostly tourist traps and disappointing. I wouldn’t bother.
