When it’s too cold to go Upper Pigeon River Whitewater Rafting or head out to the Zipline Canopy Tour, you can still get your fill of fun and adventure indoors. Two places we love to recommend to our visitors are the Gatlinburg Pinball Museum and TopJump Trampoline and Extreme Arena. A perfect outing for the entire family, each destination has something for game lovers of all ages.
