5. WonderWorks
An iconic attraction along the Parkway is WonderWorks, and if you’ve never visited, then you absolutely must! It encourages and supports your kid’s imagination, creativity, and sense of wonder through some of the most interesting exhibits.

It will be a learning experience, yet an incredibly fun one, making it one of the best hosts for school groups and clubs.
6. Titanic Museum
Another of the best indoor attractions in Pigeon Forge is the Titanic Museum and with good reason! This is a self-guided tour where you’ll be given a boarding pass of an actual passenger or crew member, and you’ll be able to learn their fate at the end in the Memorial Room. There are hundreds of real artifacts, interactive areas, and true passenger stories, but probably one of the most popular things to do is to reach your hand into the 28-degree water or shovel coal in the boiler room!
7. LazerPort Fun Center
