Pigeon Forge is a bustling city all throughout the day, but have you ever explored the city at night?

To help you plan the perfect trip, we’ve made a list of the top fun things to do in Pigeon Forge at night!

1. Visit The Comedy Barn®

One of the best evening activities in Pigeon Forge is seeing our show! Depending on the time of year, we usually have a showtime around 7 PM.

2. Visit Dollywood

Drop Line at Dollywood

Dollywood is a popular daytime attraction, but have you ever visited the world-class theme park at night? Riding the roller coasters in the dark adds a whole new level of thrills and excitement to your experience! Plus, you can enjoy a delicious dinner at one of the popular restaurants in the park, like Aunt Granny’s, or get dessert like a funnel cake or ice cream. If you visit Dollywood at night during the fall, you can see the park decorated in thousands of illuminated pumpkins, and if you visit at night during the holiday season, you can see millions of Christmas lights and other decorations! If you haven’t visited Dollywood at night yet, it’s worth trying!

3. See One of Our Sister Shows

If you enjoyed our show and are looking for a fun way to spend another evening, plan a visit to one of our sister shows! Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, and Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show are all great options for things to do in Pigeon Forge at night. What’s great about these shows is that they each offer both dinner and entertainment! Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud invites you to become a part of the longest running family feud and watch singing and dancing, jaw-dropping stunts, and mighty feats of strength — all while enjoying an all-you-can-eat Southern homestyle feast.
