Family Fun
Hidden Gems
Thrills
Outdoor Gravity Park in Pigeon Forge offers an exhilarating activity known as zorbing. Participants climb inside an 11-foot inflatable orb and roll down custom-designed tracks, choosing between a zig-zag course or a straight downhill run. The option to add water inside the ball creates a refreshing 'wet' ride, especially popular during summer months. Suitable for children aged 5 and up as well as adults, the attraction welcomes a wide range of visitors. Accessibility features include a wheelchair-accessible entrance and viewing areas.
Zorbing originated in New Zealand in the mid-1990s and has since spread worldwide as a novel outdoor sport. Outdoor Gravity Park brought this exciting experience to the Smoky Mountains region, adding a distinctive activity to Pigeon Forge's diverse entertainment offerings. The park’s carefully engineered tracks use natural slopes and terrain to provide a safe yet thrilling experience. It gained wider recognition after being featured on the television show The Amazing Race, highlighting its appeal beyond local visitors.
Visitors to Outdoor Gravity Park often describe the sensation of rolling inside the giant inflatable ball as both exhilarating and surprisingly gentle. The wet rides provide a splash of fun and cooling relief during hot days, while the dry rides offer a smooth, speedy roll down the hillside. Staff provide safety briefings and assistance to ensure everyone enjoys the activity with confidence. Spectators can watch comfortably from designated areas, making it a great group outing. The park operates year-round, weather permitting, allowing for frequent visits during any season.
