One thing you can’t leave Pigeon Forge without doing is visiting a dinner show. The area is home to dinner attractions that have been entertaining visitors for as many as 35+ seasons, and there are plenty more fun-filled seasons to come. To help you learn more about dinner shows and what to do when you’re here, we’ve created a guide to visiting dinner shows in Pigeon Forge!
Plan in Advance
When you decide you want to visit a dinner show on your vacation, our first recommendation is to plan in advance. Pigeon Forge dinner shows welcome thousands of visitors each year, and shows tend to sell out quickly. Planning in advance and reserving your seats in the theater of your choice is the only way to guarantee you get to visit on the date and at the time that best fits your schedule.
Arrive Early
The key to visiting dinner shows in Pigeon Forge is to arrive early. There is plenty of fun to be had before the main event! At the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud, you can take advantage of the many photo ops both inside and outside our theater for the perfect souvenir photos. You can also browse through the gift shop for unique items to take back home with you. We have coffee mugs, t-shirts, plush animals, and more. Dolly Parton’s Stampede provides visitors with the opportunity to meet the horses before the show, as well as pre-show makeovers and live music in the Saloon. Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop at this show, either! Pirates Voyage has pirate and mermaid makeovers, a Pirates After Dark™ bar with pirate grub and drinks, and a gift shop for pirate treasure. Arriving early gives you the opportunity to experience all this and more!
