Pigeon Forge is the go-kart capital of the Smokies, and it isn't close — the Parkway is lined with the elevated, multi-level wooden tracks the area is famous for, wooden ramps looping over each other for a half-mile of downhill fun. It's outdoor-first and vacation-priced, with indoor tracks as the rainy-mountain-day backup. Combo tickets across the strip's attractions usually beat paying per ride.

This venue is an absolute blast, offering a fantastic range of activities including go-karting, arcade games, bumper boats, and bumper rides. I had a blast riding the go-karts alongside my kids. There are two different tracks for different ride and wait time for each one is minimal.
This is located in a very good area right off the strip. Easily accessible by everyone and the staff at this location were excellent, very kind and helpful, and even shared some laughs with our party of seven. Everyone, including the adults loved riding the carts and enjoyed the entire experience.
Absolutely love this place! I came here as a kid with my mom and decided to drive from Chicago all the way there again this year to bring my kiddos for my birthday.
