The Smoky Mountains will soon be home to an exciting new attraction unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before! Also, it will be located in a place that has been needing an attraction for several years. The new experience is called XPERIA: Ocean Journey and will be located within Five Oaks Mall in Sevierville. This is a great, family-friendly way to have some fun while others shop the stores!
What is XPERIA: Ocean Journey?
XPERIA: Ocean Journey says that it “combines innovative digital technologies and immersive storytelling to take you on a journey to explore fascinating areas of the ocean and interact with some of the most amazing sea creatures – all without getting wet!”
Their website goes on to say “Part self-guided exploration, part cinematic spectacle, and part hyper-real animal interactions, equals a digital underwater adventure that has never been done in the Smoky Mountains.”
XPERIA features incredible technologies such as a 3D bait ball and 40-foot curved theater screen to immerse you into the waters to be part of the action without ever getting wet!
When does XPERIA: Ocean Journey Open?
Ok, this is the big question that everyone has been asking, because XPERIA has not announced anything “officially”. However, we’ve uncovered some clues that reveal what we believe is the opening date!

All dates are unavailable up until October 25th, which now says “SOLD OUT”. The following two days of the 26th and 27th are sold out as well.
