TSM Quick Take
Worth it for you?
Foxfire Adventure Park is a strong pick for active families with teens, adults, and anyone looking for a full outdoor adventure with zip lines, a large swinging bridge, ropes courses, and a major climbing wall. The signature Goliath Zip Line and Waterfall Canopy Tour are the main draws, and the park's setting includes hiking trails and a scenic waterfall for those wanting more than just a quick stop.
The main drawback is the relatively high price point (TripAdvisor lists $120 per adult, but official pricing is unverified), which may not suit budget travelers or those seeking a short visit. Most activities are outdoors, so weather can impact the experience, and families with young kids may find some attractions too intense or restricted by age/height requirements.

About Foxfire Adventure Park
Looking for outdoor thrills in Sevierville? Foxfire Adventure Park transforms a former 150-acre cattle farm into an action-packed adventure destination that's perfect for families seeking excitement in the Smoky Mountains.
The park's crown jewel is the Goliath zip line, where riders reach speeds up to 55 mph while soaring through the forest canopy. Getting there is half the fun - you'll ride ATVs up to the launch platform. For those new to ziplining, the Waterfall Canopy Tour offers a gentler introduction and welcomes kids as young as 7 (Goliath requires ages 10+).
Don't miss the 335-foot suspension bridge - the second-longest in America - offering stunning views across the property. The Lost Mine Falls area provides scenic hiking trails that remain open year-round, while Fox's Hollow Playground keeps younger visitors entertained between adventures.
Kids especially love the gem mining station, where they can pan for treasures just like the early settlers. The park strikes a nice balance between adrenaline-pumping activities and family-friendly attractions, making it a solid alternative to the busier attractions in downtown Gatlinburg.
Important note: Many activities close during the off-season, though full admission is still charged. If visiting in winter, call ahead to check which attractions are operating. The hiking trails and waterfalls remain accessible regardless of season.
The park's location in Sevierville puts you closer to Great Smoky Mountains National Park while avoiding the heaviest tourist traffic. Plan for at least 3-4 hours to fully experience the main attractions, and wear closed-toe shoes suitable for outdoor activities.
