While there are lots of fun outdoor things to do in the Smoky Mountains, sometimes families find themselves searching for indoor options when the weather isn’t ideal. Whether it’s raining, or just a bit too warm or cold outside for some members of the group, it is a good idea to have a handful of indoor activities in mind for your trip should the need arise! Today, we are going to be sharing some of the top reasons why our Mermaid course is one of the best indoor things to do in Pigeon Forge. Let’s get started:

1. Entirely Indoors for Fun in Any Weather

If you are looking for fun things to do when the weather isn’t great outside, you will be happy to know that our Mermaid course is 100% indoors. This means no standing around in outdoor waiting areas on a hot or cold day, no getting wet walking between buildings, just indoor fun for the whole family! Our outdoor Pirate course is a great choice when the weather is nice, but you can always pick between our two courses depending on the weather and your preferences.

2. Cool Thematic Decorations

Another of the reasons why our Mermaid Course is one of the best indoor things to do in Pigeon Forge is that it incorporates tons of interesting thematic decorations to immerse players in this undersea adventure. With blue lighting, Mermaid characters and other friends from the ocean, photo ops galore, and so much more to love, your family is sure to have a blast taking on the Mermaid Course here at our Pigeon Forge attraction!

3. Outdoor Course Available as Well

If you are looking for indoor things to do in Pigeon Forge, but would like to spend some of your time outdoors, then you will be thrilled to know that we also have an outdoor course here at Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay! Our rooftop Pirate course is a great option if the weather is nicer than the forecast indicated, or if you are looking for some contrast between our indoor and outdoor courses.

4. There is Also an Arcade

And, since the arcade is entirely indoors, you can enjoy this activity in any weather as well.
