About Ripley's Super Fun Park
Looking for high-energy family fun in Pigeon Forge? Ripley's Super Fun Park delivers with its signature multi-level go-kart tracks that rise and twist above the Parkway. The main track's elevated design offers more thrills than standard flat courses, with sharp turns and exciting elevation changes that keep racers coming back for multiple runs.
The massive 10,000-square-foot arcade serves as both an entertainment hub and a welcome refuge on rainy days. While the arcade games require a separate card system, savvy visitors opt for the all-day unlimited ride pass, which covers go-karts, bumper boats, and other outdoor attractions.
Families with small children appreciate the dedicated kiddie track where young drivers can safely experience their first taste of go-kart excitement. The bumper boats provide a perfect cool-down activity during hot summer days – just be prepared to get splashed!
Pro tip: Consider the combo package with Ripley's Aquarium for better value, especially during peak season. Start your day at the aquarium, then head to the Super Fun Park when energy levels need a boost. The park's central location on the Parkway means parking can fill up quickly during summer months and holidays. Arrive before 11 AM to secure a spot, or be ready to use nearby paid lots.
While most attractions here hit the mark for family entertainment, skip the VR experience if you're on a budget – guests consistently report it doesn't justify the additional cost. Instead, focus on the park's proven attractions: racing, arcade games, and classic amusement rides that have made this Pigeon Forge destination a reliable choice for family fun.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Multi-Level Go-Kart Track
This isn't your typical flat track - the elevated sections and ramps make it way more exciting than most Pigeon Forge kart tracks. The banking on the turns lets you really feel the speed, and our kids beg to go again every time.
10,000 Square Foot Arcade
One of the biggest arcades on the Parkway with everything from classic games to newest releases. The prize counter actually has good stuff, not just cheap trinkets. It's our rainy day lifesaver.
Bumper Boats with Water Cannons
These aren't just bumper boats - the water cannons let you soak other riders while you're bumping around. Kids absolutely love the chaos, but seriously, you will get wet.
Kiddie Track Complex
Separate tracks designed just for younger kids with gentler turns and slower speeds. Our 5-year-old felt like a real racer here, and parents can ride along with really little ones.
Ripley's Combo Packages
The combo deals with the aquarium are honestly the best value in Pigeon Forge. You save about 30% and can split your visits across multiple days if needed.
