We have two different shows running in our theater. They alternate every half hour starting one hour after we open.

You watch them with 3D glasses while we spray you with air and water, tickle your legs and several other surprises. The shows themselves are appropriate for all ages, although sometimes small children are scared of the dinosaurs.

We are ADA compliant and we have 4 available spaces in our 4D Theater specially designed for guests in wheelchairs.
Where can I park?

You must be 13 or older to be in the attractions by yourself. Anyone 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Does the Mini-Golf cost extra?
Yes, you can purchase a ticket at the front desk.

Big Bear Rafting
Where is Big Bear Rafting located?
We are located in Hartford, which is about a 45 minute drive from Gatlinburg. You will want to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the activity time to allow for check-in procedures. Each participant must sign a liability waiver.
What are the age and weight restrictions?
Upper Pigeon Whitewater Rafting: 8+ or 70 lbs. Lower Pigeon Scenic Family Float: 3+ years; helmet and personal floatation device (PFD) provided and required for both trips.
What if the weather is bad?
We run river trips rain or shine. Our simple philosophy is “you’re going to get wet regardless of the weather.” We have gear available if Mother Nature is enhancing our day. Tennessee traditionally has hot and humid summers, but the old saying goes: “if you don’t like the weather in East Tennessee, just give a minute and it will change.”
What should I wear?
Foot protection is required. You will need old shoes or secure shoes that go around your ankle. Flip flops, bare feet and crocs are not allowed on the river. You will get wet! Bring a change of clothes, shoes and a towel for after the trip. Mountain weather is unpredictable, so come prepared for anything. In the summer, we recommend shorts, a T-shirt, a hat, and sunscreen. In the spring, when it is cold, wool and Polypropylene, or other synthetic materials are recommended. Cotton is not recommended because it will rob the body of heat and restricts movement when it is wet.
Do I need previous experience?
Whitewater River Rafting on the Pigeon River is perfect for beginners and requires no previous experience.
How safe is it?
There are inherent risks involved with whitewater river rafting that everyone should evaluate before getting on the river. Big Bear has an outstanding safety record due to the requirements we place on our guides and equipment to perform to a high standard. Each guide has a minimum of First Aid and CPR; as well as extensive training in all aspects of river guiding and rescue. Many of our guides hold certification as Wilderness First Responders. All trips are equipped with First Aid kits and river rescue equipment. You will receive coast guard approved flotation devices and all the on river gear needed, along with an extensive safety talk prior to trip departure. We strive to give a fun, exciting, and safe trip to all our guests!
Will there be photos?
We offer professional grade photos of every raft on every trip, usually 10-15 shots of each raft. Immediately following your trip all photos will be on display and offered for sale on a photo CD. We also encourage you to bring a waterproof camera to record your journey if you so choose.
How many to a raft?
Our Raft Trips run in our 13’ self-bailing paddle rafts. These rafts can hold up to 7 guests plus your guide. Everyone paddles while your guide commands & steers from the stern of the raft.
What do I do with my valuables?
We don’t recommend bringing any valuables on the trip as they are subject to getting wet or lost. There is no need for any money while on the river. Just lock everything in your car. We will provide a safe place to store your car keys. We cannot assume responsibility for property loss or damage.
Do I need to know how to swim?
You are not required to know how to swim for our Upper Pigeon Whitewater River Rafting Trip. However, you will get splashed so if you are afraid of the water, we would recommend reserving a Lower Scenic Rafting Trip. Please notify your guide if you are a non-swimmer.
Can I bring my pet?
Pets are not permitted on any of the trips.

Adventure America Zipline Canopy Tours
What is a Canopy Tour?
Canopy Tours are guided experiences using ziplines and bridges to travel through the trees. Natural interpretation, a sensation of flying, gaining a new perspective on trees and terrain, thrilling personal challenge and group interaction are all part of a canopy tour. Rangers lead groups of 8 to 10 people on an aerial trek while providing instruction, giving assistance and sharing stories, taking time to enjoy new vistas.
What is the difference between Canopy Tour and a Zipline?
Canopy Tours are designed in the trees and around nature for adventure, education, beauty and for participant involvement. There will most often be between 10 and 17 elements including ziplines, tree platforms, bridges, stairs and sometimes rappels woven together into a complete experience in a special environment. Ziplines are often shorter “thrill rides” with fewer elements, less learning, less participant involvement and often traverse open fields with little sun protection and sometimes simply cross over parking lots.
Is zipping really safe?
Canopy Tours are designed with safety in mind. Certified builders, engineering and regular inspections are a part of all our courses. ACCT standards are used in construction, inspections and training of staff. When participating in any adventure sport is up to you to listen, learn and follow instruction. Your participation in your own safety is critical to your well being. Arial activities like most outdoor adventures are safest when you stay alert, follow instruction and enjoy the experience.
Wildwater Ltd. has been in business for 30 years and has maintained an excellent safety record. Our Team Members go through extensive training before being "checked out" as a trained guide. All of our guides are trained in CPR and First Aid with many being trained in Advanced Wilderness First Aid as well. Wildwater takes pride in providing our guests with a quality trip that is both safe and enjoyable on the river. However, due to the nature of whitewater rafting and other associated activities, Wildwater Ltd. and its affiliates assume no responsibility for personal safety or loss of personal property. All participants are required to complete a personal liability and photo release form before their trip.
What if I’m afraid of heights?
Join the crowd; most of us are afraid of heights and that is part of what makes Canopy Tours fun, exciting and challenging. We will start with basic instruction and practice before tackling any of the big stuff.
What if I cannot swim?
Many rafters cannot swim but you should be comfortable in water. On all trips, Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided and must be worn. On advanced trips it is recommended that you have basic swimming skills. In general you should be comfortable in water and all rafters should be able to follow directions.
Do I need to be physically fit?
No, as long as you are less than 250 pounds, you are good to go. On most courses there will be stairs and or hills to climb, you must evaluate your own ability to climb stairs and walk on uneven terrain. On the Pigeon River Canopy Tour their is a very long set of stairs called the Stairway to Heaven, the climb is long but the final zipline payoff is huge.
For rafting, Participation is required on all of Wildwater Ltd.'s trips - you must paddle. You do not need to be an athlete, however a good physical condition is recommended. Life jacket limitations are a maximum girth of 52". For any medical conditions that may be affected by strenuous activity please consult your doctor. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE!
What do I wear?
You will be outside for a couple hours with the ziplining. Dress appropriately for the expected weather. Personal safety harnesses will have straps that go around your upper thighs, so longer shorts are advisable. Straps over the shoulders are more comfortable if you have a collared shirt. Ball caps are not permitted since they restrict vision and make for a poor helmet fit. Beanies in cold weather are appropriate, fit under helmets well and will help keep you warm. Sunglasses or any glasses with a strap are fine. Jewelry should generally be removed and left in your locked car. Empty your pockets for a better harness fit and for comfort. Long hair should be pulled back and restrained.
For rafting in the summer, shorts and a bathing suit and shoes that will stay on your feet are recommended. For the spring and the fall we recommend layering with synthetics such as fleece or polypropylene.
What happens if there is bad weather?
We go rain or shine. Dress appropriately for the expected weather. In the case of high winds or lightning we will delay, cancel or cut a trip short. If the water levels on any of the rivers exceeds safe levels, trips may be cancelled or relocated to another river.
What factors determine the age/weight requirements?
Do to the nature of following instruction, predicting behavior and general height issues we require all participants be 10 years or older. Weight has a large impact on traveling speeds; lighter people will travel slower and may not make it to the end, larger people will travel faster and have to brake more while zipping. Harnesses and cables are rated for large weights but traveling speed and control can be a big issue for heavier people. Ages 10 or older for Canopy Tours; Weight must be between 70 and 250 pounds for Canopy Tours.
With rafting, does the child have enough size or body fat to have control of their body in icy water? Can the child rescue themselves or will the parents be so concerned about a young child they put their own health at risk? The determining factors usually revolve around the likelihood of a flip or swim and at what age a child listens to and understands instructions.
Canopy Tours are guided experiences using ziplines and bridges to travel through the trees. Natural interpretation, a sensation of flying, gaining a new perspective on trees and terrain, thrilling personal challenge and group interaction are all part of a canopy tour. Rangers lead groups of 8 to 10 people on an aerial trek while providing instruction, giving assistance and sharing stories, taking time to enjoy new vistas.
What is the difference between Canopy Tour and a Zipline?
Canopy Tours are designed in the trees and around nature for adventure, education, beauty and for participant involvement. There will most often be between 10 and 17 elements including ziplines, tree platforms, bridges, stairs and sometimes rappels woven together into a complete experience in a special environment. Ziplines are often shorter “thrill rides” with fewer elements, less learning, less participant involvement and often traverse open fields with little sun protection and sometimes simply cross over parking lots.
Is zipping really safe?
Canopy Tours are designed with safety in mind. Certified builders, engineering and regular inspections are a part of all our courses. ACCT standards are used in construction, inspections and training of staff. When participating in any adventure sport is up to you to listen, learn and follow instruction. Your participation in your own safety is critical to your well being. Arial activities like most outdoor adventures are safest when you stay alert, follow instruction and enjoy the experience.
Wildwater Ltd. has been in business for 30 years and has maintained an excellent safety record. Our Team Members go through extensive training before being "checked out" as a trained guide. All of our guides are trained in CPR and First Aid with many being trained in Advanced Wilderness First Aid as well. Wildwater takes pride in providing our guests with a quality trip that is both safe and enjoyable on the river. However, due to the nature of whitewater rafting and other associated activities, Wildwater Ltd. and its affiliates assume no responsibility for personal safety or loss of personal property. All participants are required to complete a personal liability and photo release form before their trip.
What if I’m afraid of heights?
Join the crowd; most of us are afraid of heights and that is part of what makes Canopy Tours fun, exciting and challenging. We will start with basic instruction and practice before tackling any of the big stuff.
What if I cannot swim?
Many rafters cannot swim but you should be comfortable in water. On all trips, Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided and must be worn. On advanced trips it is recommended that you have basic swimming skills. In general you should be comfortable in water and all rafters should be able to follow directions.
Do I need to be physically fit?
No, as long as you are less than 250 pounds, you are good to go. On most courses there will be stairs and or hills to climb, you must evaluate your own ability to climb stairs and walk on uneven terrain. On the Pigeon River Canopy Tour their is a very long set of stairs called the Stairway to Heaven, the climb is long but the final zipline payoff is huge.
For rafting, Participation is required on all of Wildwater Ltd.'s trips - you must paddle. You do not need to be an athlete, however a good physical condition is recommended. Life jacket limitations are a maximum girth of 52". For any medical conditions that may be affected by strenuous activity please consult your doctor. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE!
What do I wear?
You will be outside for a couple hours with the ziplining. Dress appropriately for the expected weather. Personal safety harnesses will have straps that go around your upper thighs, so longer shorts are advisable. Straps over the shoulders are more comfortable if you have a collared shirt. Ball caps are not permitted since they restrict vision and make for a poor helmet fit. Beanies in cold weather are appropriate, fit under helmets well and will help keep you warm. Sunglasses or any glasses with a strap are fine. Jewelry should generally be removed and left in your locked car. Empty your pockets for a better harness fit and for comfort. Long hair should be pulled back and restrained.
