Flyaway Indoor Skydiving in Pigeon Forge
One of the longest active and most unique attractions in the Tennessee Smokies, Flyaway is the only place in the area to enjoy the safest form of skydiving there is. You go inside and jump into a simulated air space where, for several minutes, a large fan keeps you floating and experiencing what it’s like to fall freely through the sky without having any of the danger associated with doing so. No virtual reality here, you do a real jump and you really fly in the air for a while. You’ve got to try it out!

Outdoor Gravity Park
At some point in our childhoods, all of us dreamed of the day when we could roll down the hills in giant spherical objects, but those who get to venture out to the Smokies will find those dreams realized with the Outdoor Gravity Park between Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. You get inside a huge, hypnotizing plastic ball that’s been specifically designed to going down hills and keeping occupants safe. There are several different modes of traveling down these hills in the enormous orbs presented; the FUNnel, the Speed Demon or the Extreme Zig Zag. You can even experience it with water put in if you’d like.
