TSM Quick Take
Worth it for you?
FunStop Family Action Park is a solid pick for families with tweens, teens, or adults who want a few hours of go-karts, high-thrill rides like Skyscraper and Slingshot, and a break in the Big Top Arcade or on the mini-golf courses. The variety of go-kart tracks and the extreme rides make it especially appealing for groups seeking action and flexibility, while the arcade and mini-golf offer options for younger kids or those needing a lower-key activity.
The main drawback is the pay-per-attraction pricing, which can add up quickly for families or groups who want to try multiple premium rides. Small children may be left out of headline attractions due to height and weight restrictions, and most of the park is outdoors, limiting rainy-day options. It's best for a short, active visit rather than a full-day theme park experience.
Quick decision
Should You Go?
Worth it for families?
maybe – Good for families with older kids or mixed ages who want go-karts and thrill rides, but limited for toddlers due to ride restrictions.
Worth it for adults only?
maybe – Fun for adults who enjoy thrill rides and competitive go-karts, but the park is small and lacks major coaster theming.
Worth it on a rainy day?
no – Only the Big Top Arcade is indoors; most attractions close in bad weather.
Best time of day?
Weekday mornings or early afternoons are typically less crowded.
How long does it take?
1–4 hours, depending on how many rides and activities you do.
Biggest downside?
Premium rides are expensive per person and costs add up quickly for groups.
Combo pass worth it?
Should you stay nearby?
no – Most visitors will drive; the location is on the Parkway but not especially walkable from most hotels.
Tickets
Ticket Strategy
FunStop uses a pay-per-attraction model, so your total depends on which rides and activities you choose—confirm current pricing on the official site or by phone.

About FunStop Family Action Park
FunStop Family Action Park stands as one of Pigeon Forge's premier entertainment destinations, featuring over 18 attractions concentrated in a single location. The park combines four high-speed go-kart tracks, extreme thrill rides, and an expansive arcade called The Big Top.
The go-kart experience distinguishes this venue from competitors. Four distinct tracks offer varied challenges, including an elevated course and a specialized slick track with cornstarch corners that allow drivers to drift through turns like professional racers.
Thrill-seekers gravitate toward the extreme attractions. The Skyscraper spins riders 150 feet above ground at 60 mph, while the Slingshot catapults guests over 120 feet into the air. Both experiences cost $25 per person and deliver significant adrenaline rushes.
Families appreciate the gentler attractions and mini-golf courses that provide respite from high-intensity rides. Staff members demonstrate exceptional patience, often extending race times when karts malfunction and assisting nervous children on junior tracks.
The road course track presents a notably bumpy ride that actually enhances the excitement factor. Despite appearing less thrilling than other options, the short oval track frequently proves to be the most entertaining of all courses.
Visitors typically dedicate full days to experiencing all attractions. The park's strategic location near The Old Mill provides convenient dining options for guests after exhausting themselves on the various rides and activities.
