We hope all our guests find incredible activities on their vacation, so to help you enjoy the best the Smokies can offer; we've made this helpful guide.

Experience all the fun, laughter, and excitement of a Pigeon Forge getaway with your kids with the top activities for toddlers in Pigeon Forge, TN!

Toddler in the Great Smoky Mountains

Get the most out of your trip by checking out these attractions and activities that are perfect for your family vacation with young children.

1. See Dollywood With Your Family

There's no denying that Dollywood is one of the highlights in the Smoky Mountains. With thrilling coasters, great music shows, beautiful crafts, and delicious food, the whole family can have an incredible time.

Better yet, Dollywood offers specific parts of the park that are ideal for young children. Specifically, the "Country Fair" part of the park is a great fit for kids.

While many rides have height requirements, Dollywood has a great selection of rides and interactive displays designed for young children.

Take a ride on the Dollywood express, an authentic coal fired train that will take you back to pioneer times in the Smoky Mountains!

Try out these fun rides and attractions with your child:

  • Firehouse Fun Yard
  • Lumber Jacks Lifts
  • Little Pilots Playground
  • Demolition Derby Bumper Cars
  • Village Carousel

Tickets for children ages 4 - 11 are only $50 and toddlers under the age of 4 get in for free!

2. Find Wonders at Wonderworks

At Wonderworks, you'll find plenty of hands-on activities with fun displays for kids to explore.

While some rides and activities have height requirements, there are many other interactive experiences that are perfect for kids of any age.

Unique displays feature optical illusions, natural forces, and sensory marvels. This attraction is perfect for educating children about scientific concepts and creating a sense of wonder.

Be sure to check out the Bubble Lab, the Wonder Wall, Imagination Lab and the Giant Piano. Children get into Wonderworks for $17 and Adult tickets are $25.

3. Visit A Smoky Mountain Petting Zoo or Animal Display

There's nothing like seeing the sense of wonder in a child's eyes as they encounter beautiful animals. By visiting a petting zoo in the Smokies, both you and your child are sure to have an absolute blast.

From fun barnyard animals to unique creatures from around the world, there are plenty of places to bring your kid to marvel the diversity of wildlife.

Rainforest Adventure

A large array of birds, reptiles, amphibians and playful monkeys you can see up close.

Parrot Mountain

Meet colorful birds, exotic plants, and walk through gorgeous gardens at Parrot Mountain.

Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo

See deer, goats, reindeer, Fallow deer, Sika deer, camels, Watusi, and rocky mountain elk up close in outdoor displays.

4. Explore Great Smoky Mountains National Park

From beautiful views to thundering waterfalls, there's plenty to see in the Smokies. However, not all of the national park is accessible for young children.

Rather than for taking your toddler on long hikes in the mountains, you'll want to find a place that's accessible and beautiful to explore.

One great option for families with small children are picnic areas like Metcalf Bottoms. Not only is Metcalf Bottoms a great place to relax by the river, there are also easy hiking trails that lead to a historic schoolhouse and cabins. As a picnic area, there are bathroom facilities to make your trip a breeze!

5. Stop By the Old Mill Candy Kitchen

For a tasty vacation treat like fudge, chocolate, saltwater taffy, or whatever satisfies your sweet tooth, head down to the Old Mill Candy Kitchen in the Old Mill Square.

This pleasant sweets shop is located within walking distance of the Old Mill, a historic grist mill and a major scenic destination in Pigeon Forge, TN.

The Old Mill is also close to Patriot Park, a nice place for going on a walk or feeding the ducks.

6. Visit Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

See marvelous sea life up close at a variety of interactive exhibits. From floating jellyfish to impressive sharks, there's a lot to admire about this fun Aquarium that delights visitors of all ages. Your toddler will be delighted to feel the hard shell of a horse-shoe crab or a touch a floating stingray.

Kids especially love the penguin play house, an interactive display that allows children play alongside penguins in a large enclosure.

For children ages 2 - 5, entrance is only $8 and tickets for kids 6 - 11 are $16. Adult tickets are $27, but tickets are $2 cheaper when you purchase them online.

7. Stroll at the Island

For families with young children, it's hard to beat the family fun offered by the Island in Pigeon Forge. This large walk able plaza in the heart of Downtown Pigeon Forge comes complete with shops, restaurants, and fun attractions for kids and toddlers.

Check out these fun things to do at the Island!
