How do I enter?
Inside Pigeon Forge has launched a brand new forum for users to discuss anything about Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or Sevierville while getting feedback from "insiders" who live & work in the area. We're so excited about the opportunity to provide visitors an "inside look" into our cities and we want to show our enthusiasm by giving away a vacation package to someone who shares the same enthusiasm about the town we love.

Step 1:
Register in the new Insider forums by clicking the link below
(if you're already registered, skip to Step 2)
http://www.insidepigeonforge.com/forums/register.php

Step 2:
Post a reply in this thread and tell everyone "Your Best Tip for Visiting Pigeon Forge." Be as creative and detailed as you want! It's your chance to share your favorite thing to do, place to stay, restaurant to eat at, waiter to ask for etc. Have fun with it! You can post as many tips as you want and each tip will count as an entry. The main requirement is that your tip is a reply to this thread rather than posted somewhere else in the forum. Only replies here will be counted as entries. If two posts are similar, we'll be accepting the first one or the one that is the most detailed/helpful...so it definitely pays to act fast and provide great tips!


The insiders will then choose one of the posts and award the author the Inside Pigeon Forge Getaway package. It really is that simple! There is nothing to buy, no lengthy sales pitches, etc. All that you have to do is share "Your Best Tip for Visiting Pigeon Forge" and you're entered into the giveaway!

We'll only be accepting entries until July 31, so hurry and beat the crowd!

Good luck and welcome to Inside Pigeon Forge!

We are planning our first trip ever to Pigeon Forge so my tip is not from first hand experience. However, my suggestion is to check out all the websites such as Git2Know, Trip Advisor, My Pigeon Forge, etc. All the sites that have recommendations and advice from the people who either live there or have visited. The best help comes from the kind people on the different forums.

We have been visiting the Pigeon Forge area for years. The first thing I like to do when we arrive is go to the Welcome Center. You can get information on all the attractions and coupons for discounts. For my family every penny counts! We choose which attractions we will go to and which restaurants we will eat at by discounts offered. It really helps.

Great tip, Cheryl. I'd like to point out that there are two official welcome centers in Pigeon Forge, but the one that the city wants visitors to use is on the north end of town right in front of the Miracle Theater (Beside Country Legends Grill, Wonderworks, and Black Bear Jamboree). This is the nicest welcome center with a ton of info, coupons, tips, and friendly people wanting to help.

We really enjoy going to the Pigeon Forge area We were married there 14 years ago and have been going up at least once a year ever since. One good tip for those who are going on over the weekend is to try not to travel on Friday afternoon/evening. If you do expect long traffic delays. If you are going there via I-40 E then get off the exit near Knoxville and go through Maryville and Townsend as this will save you a lot of grief and aggravation if travelling there for the weekend.
There are some other short cuts that you can find to bypass the traffic there. Check out the maps that they give you at the WElcome Center or available at most of the stores there. This will save you a lot of time and gas when driving around if you know how to get around behind the main drag

We have 5 children and on all trips plan one "nice dinner" for our family....
Have you ever eaten there? Price? Food? Service? Best time to go?
Anything else you can offer would love to hear.......

Thanks so much!

We come in from I75 S Get off on the Old Broadway exit. This is also 441 S. You will come into the north end of Pigeon Forge. Miss alot of traffic even on Friday.

Hi, my family has be going to Pigeon Forge for years now and we have a great time everytime we go, Make sure you call ahead and book dixiestampede it's a dinner and show but sometimes its hard to get in, so book ahead... (865-453-4400) it's great for kids and adults, it last about 2 hours and the food is really great. Also Cades cove is great, 11 miles and they have very old cabins you can tour and see black bears, turkeys, eagles, deer's and lots of other wild life from your car. We were there about 2 years ago and recorded a baby black bear crossing the road and was about 5 feet from the bear. Dollywood is really fun we go there everytime we go to Pigeon Forge. Also check out the Apple Barn that is a really nice place it was a apple orchard years ago, they sell some really good apple pancake mix and alot of other things to much to list you wont be disappointed. Another really fun thing is the Comedy Barn A GREAT 2 hours of Comedy & laughter and its for the whole family so you dont have to worry about the kids (under 11 its free) well worth the money going there, book ahead to get good seats (865-428-5222). Dont get talked into the timeshares, hours away from your time there on vacation they say only 45 mins- but more like 3-4 hours!!! Gatlinburg is a nice town, just a few minutes down the road from Pigeon Forge lots to see & do there as well. We are going again on Aug 3rd this will be our 10th time there. Have a Great time there, if you have any questions feel free to email me, Pigeon Forge is my favorite pastime.

We also go to Pigeon Forge every year. We usually go in October, not only for the beautiful fall leaves, but for Gospel Fest at Dollywood. The town of Pigeon Forge is decorated at every imagineable place with fall flowers, pumpkins, gords, etc. Our favorite musical show is "Come Celebrate America", where young college students perform songs from every state. If you're at all patriotic, this is a must see. We are looking forward to seeing "The Mircale" this year. My tip for Pigeon Forge is to go often so you can see it all!!!

I love to go shopping at the outlets. I buy birthday gifts, Christmas gifts and all kind of things for the grandchildren. Motherhood Maternity helped my daughter so much while she was shopping for maternity clothes.
I work with a group of adults with mental retardation and we always try to travel almost 3 hours to a show each Christmas. Everyone has been great with helping us plan the trips. It is the highlight of their year. They are already discussing where they want to go this year.
