Outdoor Gravity Park

The Outdoor Gravity Park is home to the iconic New Zealand adventure, zorbing.  Don't miss out on the opportunity to go zorbing where you slip, slide, get wet, but no tumbling.  You can fly 6,000 miles to New Zealand, or you could just come to Pigeon Forge!

The OGO ball is 11 feet high, 11 feet fat, and bouncy, sits perched at the top of a 1,000-foot hill.  In a moment, its 300 square feet of plastic will go rolling towards the bottom-but only after a couple of things happen.  First, up to three people dive into the sphere's belly.  Then some of Outdoor Gravity Park's attendants toss 10 gallons of water into this signature attraction, and finally close the door on what's known as the OGO. The H2O makes for a slippery ride, though one without tumbling.  The fast and adrenaline-packed descent is more akin to a bouncy water slide.  New this season is a zig zag track called the FUNnel.  Offering a new spin on zorbing.  IF YOU WANT TO STAY DRY, we offer a dry option fall, winter, early spring called DRYGO.  The DRYGO is made up of three plastic spheres, one inside the other.  The passengers stay dry as they slip and slide without any tumbling in their own little universe as the smaller sphere spins inside the middle sphere.  Come join in the fun as the park is open rain or shine and all year.

Weight for individual riders can't exceed 260 pounds.  During the busy summer season, to avoid peak wait times, Outdoor Gravity Park recommends that visitors come before 11:30 pm or after 3:30 pm.

Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook

The Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook offers magnificent views of downtown Gatliburg with its majestic mountain backdrop.

There are no admissions fees.  The Gatlinburg Overlook is located on the Gatlinburg Bypass which runs between the Gatlinburg Spur and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  The Bypass is open 24/7, year round except in inclement weather (snow and ice). 

The views are beautiful at any time of the year, especially in the Fall months (October-November) when the tree leaves turn brilliant colors of red, orange, and gold.  The views are truly outstanding during the winter months following a snowfall.  This is one of the most photographed areas in Gatlinburg.

There are four parking areas on the Bypass.  You can exit your vehicle and take in the views.  We recommend the 2nd and 3rd parking areas. 

From the Gatlinburg overlooks, you will see the entire town of Gatlinburg. 

Ripley's Aquarium

An absolute must see when visiting Gatlinburg is Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies.  Voted as one of the top Gatlinburg tourist attractions, this aquarium features 13 separate exhibits displaying over 350 individual marine species.

 Shark Exhibit

The brand new shark exhibit has been a hit for all visitors of all ages.  It gives guests an interactive experience into the world of these amazing predators.  Guests can experience the feel of a shark bite, they can view the anatomy of a shark and they can learn interesting and unusual facts about strange items that sharks have eaten.  There are over 30 hands on displays in this area alone.  The Shark Lagoon allows visitors to come face to face with these giant predators.  Visitors walk through a magnificent underwater tunnel and see giant turtles and sting rays along the way.  This enclosed glass tunnel allows you to feel like you are actually underwater with these giants as they swim around you.

Stingray Bay

Displays over 100 rays of various breeds.  You can observe divers hand feeding these gentle animals or touch them your self as they swim up to you at the shallow end of the tank.  These large animals enjoy interacting with guests so there is plenty of opportunity to touch and observe them in their habitat.  As stingrays can grow over 6 feet in length, it is remarkable to watch them gracefully gliding through the water.  For an ever more interactive experience, guests have the option to purchase entrance to the "Touch a Ray Bay" where they can fully immerse themselves in a stingray pool for a completely interactive experience.  Instructors are on hand for both the shallow pools and interactive programs to answer and questions you may have.  

The Discovery Center

This is a fantastic way for children to learn more about the marine environment.  The hands on displays and games are entertaining and educational for all age groups.  This area allows children to view an aquarium from the inside out.  There is the opportunity to touch live sea life, solve puzzles and play games with your family or other guests.

Penguin Playhouse

This is another completely interactive display.  Clear underwater tunnels will give you an inclusive experience into the life of a penguin both below and above the water.  Watch penguins swim beside you and pop up on land.  You are so close to these adorable animals that you can see them playfully wind at you.  Here, you will learn new and interesting facts about this unusual species. 

From tropical rain forests to the depths of the ocean there are over 10,000 sea creatures for you to learn about and explore.  Learn facts about schooling fish or about the life of a jellyfish.  Watch divers interact with sharks or the staff as they feed the penguins.  Visit the control center to see firsthand how technology keeps the building and animals living comfortably in their environment.  No matter what type of experience you are looking for, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies.
