Dinner shows are some of the most popular things to do in Pigeon Forge. They offer the perfect combination of both food and fun! Between the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud and our sister shows, you’ll have a great selection of dinner attractions to choose from on your vacation. Whether you’ve never seen a show or have seen them all, we bet there are a few things you can learn about them! Here are the top 4 things you didn’t know about dinner shows in Pigeon Forge:
1. Special Experiences Before the Show
It’s well known that dinner shows provide an action-packed performance and a delicious meal for all ages, but did you know that some have special experiences before the show? The pre-show entertainment adds to the excitement of the evening! Dolly Parton’s Stampede invites guests to Join the Stampede with special makeovers. The makeovers allow kids (and adults, too!) to transform into their favorite cast members before the show, complete with facial makeup and accessories. Then, head to the Saloon for live country and bluegrass music that’s sure to get you even more excited for what’s to come during the main event. It’s like getting two shows for the price of one! You can also take a stroll down the Horse Walk to meet the beautiful horses before they showcase their talents in the Stampede. At Pirates Voyage, visitors can Join the Crew and enjoy more pirate fun before the show! Captain Blackbeard is scouring the theater for his new recruits, and you could be one of them. Choose to become a swashbuckling pirate or a beautiful mermaid! The transformations include facial makeup and accessories. Afterward, head to the gift shop to get the perfect souvenir or to the Pirates After Dark™ bar for specialty drinks and grub!
At our Pigeon Forge dinner show, we have so many entertaining photo ops set up outside and inside our theater, as well as a gift shop that’s overflowing with t-shirts, plush animals, drinkware, toys, and more.
2. Animal Care is a Top Priority
One thing the top dinner shows in Pigeon Forge all have in common is that we feature talented animals! Animal care is a top priority at each show. We want to make sure that each animal receives the best possible nutrition, environment, and care. Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud features diving dogs that leap into our swimming hole to fetch sticks and toys, and our sister shows have even more animal friends!
Dolly Parton’s Stampede has 32 magnificent horses, buffalo, longhorns, and even pigs! This attraction has animal care specialists on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and provides grooming for the horses before and after each show. Learn more about animal care at Dolly Parton’s Stampede here. Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show has sea lions, dock-diving dogs, and tropical birds. The show has on-site professionals who work alongside a veterinary team to provide regular physical examinations, high-quality diets, and a meticulously cared for environment.
