Dollywood Theme ParkIs there a more fitting Mother's Day destination than a park built by everyone's pretend mom, Dolly Parton? Roller coasters, live music, craft demonstrations, and really good food. Spring is also a gorgeous time to visit. Theme Park · Full Day · Live Entertainment  6. Shopping at The IslandThe Island in Pigeon Forge is a lively outdoor shopping and entertainment district featuring boutiques, gift shops, restaurants, and a giant observation wheel.

Titanic Museum AttractionOne of Pigeon Forge's most iconic landmarks, the Titanic Museum lets visitors step aboard a full-scale replica section of the ship's hull.

Explore The Island in Pigeon Forge If you think the Island looks amazing during the day, you should see it at night! When the sun goes down the Island comes to life with lights, live music, street performers, and their famous dancing water fountain thingy. And most of these things are free! You can also ride their ferris wheel for nighttime views of the Smokies, go eat a nice meal, or just do a little shopping. There is always something to do at the Island. Click here to learn more. Go Moonshine TastingPigeon Forge and the surrounding area are home to several world-famous moonshine distilleries that offer tastings well into the evening. A few must-visit spots include:
Play a Round of Mini GolfIf you're series about your miniature golf, Pigeon Forge is home to some serious miniature golf courses. Blacklights, waterfalls, neon colors, and elaborately themed holes make for very unique gameplay. Some of my favorites are:
Grab a Bite at a Late-Night RestaurantAfter all that magic, drinking, and golfing, you will probably be a little hungry. Pigeon Forge has a bunch of restaurants that stay open late, at least during certain parts of the year. Near Impossibilities we have Fort Worth, Joe's Crab Shack, and Roma Table Italian Kitchen. If you want to go a little cheaper, we also have a Panda Express, and pretty soon we're going to have a Wattaburger!
