About Space Race Adventures

We've been blown away by Space Race Adventures every time we visit. This isn't your typical Pigeon Forge attraction - it's a full space-themed complex that actually delivers on the cosmic promise.

The Hurricane VR ride upstairs is honestly the star of the show. It's a 6-axis motion simulator that'll have you spinning 360 degrees while you're immersed in virtual worlds.

Downstairs, the go-karts are legitimately fast (they claim to be the fastest in town), and the figure-eight track keeps things interesting. The laser tag arena spans 5,500 square feet, so there's plenty of room to strategize.

The 15-hole mini golf course uses blacklight effects and three different planetary themes. It's more elaborate than most indoor courses we've tried.

Fair warning: don't miss the second floor where all the VR experiences are located. We've seen people leave without realizing the best stuff was upstairs.

Combo packages save serious money compared to individual activities. The staff here really knows their stuff when it comes to recommending the right package for your group.

Don't Miss

Hurricane VR Experience

This 4-seat, 6-axis motion simulator with 360-degree rotation is the crown jewel. You'll feel like you're actually flying through space while the seat moves in perfect sync with the virtual world. It's located on the second floor, so don't miss it.

Figure-Eight Go-Kart Track

These are legitimately the fastest go-karts we've tried in Pigeon Forge. The figure-eight design creates some fun passing opportunities and keeps the racing interesting for multiple laps.

Megaverse VR Arena

Up to 6 players can battle in this 600-square-foot VR room with full-body tracking. You'll actually walk around and interact with the virtual environment, not just stand in one spot like basic VR.

5,500 Sq Ft Laser Tag Arena

This isn't a cramped laser tag course - there's real room to move and develop strategy. The space theme carries through with futuristic obstacles and lighting effects.

Planetary Mini Golf Course

The 15 holes feature three different planetary biomes with blacklight effects that make the course glow. It's more immersive than typical indoor mini golf, with actual themed environments.

Multi-VR Experience Options

Beyond Hurricane, they've got Undersea Adventure and S.W.A.T. VR experiences. Each one transports you to completely different worlds, from ocean depths to tactical missions.
