Wonder Works is a must if you have kids (or kids at heart). It isn't very expensive and there are lots of interactive displays. My sister and I took her grandson (age 12) and we had a blast. Some of the interactive things make you feel like an idiot but everyone else looks like one also - so who cares! It is as much fun to watch others as it is to participate so everyone can enjoy it. Many of the displays are close together but it doesn't seem to be a problem because overall people usually participate and move on along. There was a long line at the pitching display and we didn't wait for that but everything else moved along pretty rapidly when we were there. Another great thing about them is that they will stamp your hand and you can go back later the same day - especially great if you see something you know someone else in your party would enjoy but didn't come with you originally. You can bring them back and they can purchase a ticket and you can go back in free of charge - that day only! We had a party of nine and some of the others went at our recommendation later. They also have a dinner show but we didn't purchase that because we already had dinner plans with the rest of our party. We will definitely make it a part of our plans each year. We've been going to Pigeon Forge at least once a year - more when possible - for the last 17 years. It is great!
