Impossible to miss the Pigeon Forge Wonderworks building
It truly is one of those attractions that stand out from all of the others around it. The Pigeon Forge Wonderworks attraction is unique in that the building you enter, looks like a house flipped upside down. That alone is intriguing enough for most visitors to pull in the parking lot, if for no other reason than to get a closer look.
What is Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge?
That is the best question of all! I would say it is part Entertainment and part Education, Edu-tainment or Enter-cation if you will. The fun begins from the moment you step in to the upside-down structure. The Wonderworks Pigeon Forge entry room is also flipped around. You will find yourself walking on the ceiling and looking at the floor above you, wait…what? So after going through and spinning tunnel, everything gets turned right side up again and you begin the real journey.
Wonderworks Pigeon Forge Fun
Some of the Zones you will experience include: Natural Disasters, Light and Sound, Space Discovery and a Far Out Art Gallery. Everything you come upon is an interactive exhibit in one way or another.

Estimate of Rating Levels
The Bad:
It is pretty incredible when you look at the negative reviews on the Pigeon Forge Wonderworks indoor amusement park. They almost all say the same thing. It is way overcrowded. Not much else is said but for those guests who felt cramped, they certainly did not feel they got their money’s worth.

How long does it take?
Depending on your speed, if you are going to do each and every attraction, you will want to allow yourself at least 3 – 4 hours to get through Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge. If you have younger kids, they may take a while longer to complete everything possible. Your ticket is good for the day, so enjoy it while you are there.
Special Note:
Get there early and make a bee-line for the Ropes Course first. This attraction is very popular and gets backed up quickly. The line moves rather slow so it can be a long wait later in the day.
Wonder Dog Cafe
Yes, you can get food at the Wonder Dog Cafe. The cafe is open from 10am til 9pm (the same hours as Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge). Get a fresh hand tossed pizza, hot dogs and your favorite Pepsi beverage.
