Along with admiring the outfits, visitors get a look into the creative process as well. Before you leave, stop at the merchandise boutique to stock up on Dolly-themed souvenirs.
2. WildSide
WildSide is another one of the new Pigeon Forge attractions that opened in 2024.

The routes come in all skill levels, so every visitor will be able to find the perfect one. One activity to do there is mountain biking. Bring your own bike or take advantage of their rentals. Another way to explore the area is in a UTV. No matter which way you choose, it will be a fun time.
3. Space Race Adventures
Space Race Adventures is an attraction in Pigeon Forge that is out of this world! The indoor amusement park houses all kinds of fun experiences. Play a mini golf game in a space-themed glow-in-the-dark course. You can also play a round of laser tag. Stay hidden and see if you can be the last one to be found. Keep up the competitive spirit when you race go-carts. They have precise controls and fast speeds. Perhaps the most unique experience is the virtual reality games. Be in the middle of all the action. One of the games is Pirate’s Fate. Sail the high seas while keeping the bad guys away from the precious treasure. When all that activity makes you hungry, you don’t have to go far to grab a bite. This is because Space Race Adventures has a cafe with a menu of great crowd-pleasing dishes. Get a pizza or a plate of nachos. Pair them with your favorite soda or a Cyclone drink. If you need to satisfy a sweet tooth, order a brownie topped with ice cream after your main meal. You can then get right back to having fun!
