    Such a fun interactive place! And they're so understanding with small business owners. Our family came here excited to do the fly ride and look at all of the exhibits. We were only able to do the fly ride the one day because since we do own our own business, we kept getting calls lol. Obviously we can't ignore the calls, but we were scared Our tickets were going to "expire". Luckily , ASH was there to step in and save the day!! we explained to her that we are business owners, and we have to go to the calls. She took care of us, and reassured us that we were able to come back the next day. Ash took care of business professionally and was super kind. Even complementing me on my perfume!! The fly ride was so enjoyable and beautiful! Love how they incorporate scents, and even light misting when going over the ocean!! Our baby loved it!! However, one con, is some of the interactive exhibits didn't work. Like some of the games. I enjoyed the Bigfoot interactive map as well as the JFK and presidential exhibit. My husband and I loved playing basketball and ski ball. The football game was pretty fun too. They were cleaning all of the balls in the ball pit, so we didn't get to go, however it is very nice to know that it's not a cesspool of infection! I'm glad to see that they take good care of it and they take pride and its cleanliness!! We are looking forward to bringing our little guy to the ball pit next time. We are locals, however, if you're not from here, I would highly recommend spending an hour or two here!! It's So Cool!! Thanks again, Ash for being awesome!! ______________________________________________ My recommendations : -Really spend some time, reading and interacting! -The JFK exhibit is really cool! -The Bigfoot exhibit is astounding. Take a look at the interactive map. -the VR stuff might make you dizzy if you're not used to it, but it was fun! -the fly ride!! Pros: -has great AC! -Souvenirs galore! Has drinks and candy as well. -plenty of parking -Genuinely awesome staff -clean ball pit -Interactive learning and playing -fun to be there -A wide array of topics and subjects! Cons: -some of the exhibits were out of order Thanks Again! -The Kanevski's

    I don't have much to say other than I thought this was place was just so fun! There is so much to do here... games, exhibit, ball pit, photo ops and more! We did not do the FlyRide, ONLY Beyond the Lens. It was pricy but stayed there for a couple of hours and had a good time. I would recommend checking it out.

    Kind of boring. A couple okay photo ops. Old gaming consoles to try out. That was about it.

    We had a great time and there were lots for my family of 5 to do. We did the 3d ride and had a blast with the interactive games. The staff were pretty cool and helpful. Would definitely go again.

    Lots of fun, even for us older folks. It took us about two hours for the things we were interested in.

    We really enjoyed this! We did the flight ride also which was really fun! I loved that what is normally an extra charge was included! This includes things such as several VR experiences, arcade style games like at Dave and Busters that cost tokens were set on free play! Play as much as you want! And we really liked the photo ops where you scan your QR code, it takes the photo, and you're able to go online and get your pictures! And this is all included in the price of your ticket! I give it a 4/5 because there just a few things that were broken.

    We went here two days ago and had a blast! You could easily spend three-four hours in here. We stayed two-and-a-half hours, because we were meeting other family elsewhere; but we wished we could have stayed longer. It is a great place for kids, teens, and those young at heart. From VR games to arcade games and fun facts to an 'alien egg nest', there are all kinds of fun to be had here. Get your picture taken with Bigfoot. Pose in a life-size Barbie box. Stand with an astronaut on the moon. Be the President of the United States. The possibilities are many here.

    We decided to give this place a shot since our normal go to fun spot had a line wrapped around the building. This place was okay. It had a mix of interesting exhibits as well as games. The biggest issue I had with it was that it was so crowded that I didn't feel comfortable. If you don't do well with large crowds, long lines, and confined spaces, then this isn't for you!

    It was o.k. Lots of reading and I don't think it's worth the price. Luckily we got a discount with Groupon it we never would have went.

    Downtown Flavortown -- Pigeon Forge, TN…read more Great Concept, Horrible Execution I really wanted to love this place. I met Guy Fieri once at a food festival in Atlantic City, and let's just say he didn't leave me with the greatest personal impression. That being said, I'll always give credit where it's due. I take a Carnival cruise about once a year, and Guy's Burger Joint makes an absolutely phenomenal burger. So when I found out Downtown Flavortown was in Pigeon Forge, it immediately became one of the places I was most excited to visit on this trip. Deep down, I'm a big kid, and I LOVE a good adult arcade. We headed straight for the arcade, but before buying a game card, I wanted to see what kind of prizes they had. The games looked pretty good--mostly the same type of stuff you'd find at Dave & Buster's--but then we walked into the prize redemption room. That completely killed it for me. There was literally not one prize I wanted to win. Everything seemed geared toward little kids, and I think they're completely missing what makes an adult arcade work. At Dave & Buster's, I've won a really nice poker chip set in a metal briefcase and a crystal whiskey decanter set with matching whiskey glasses. These aren't generic prizes either. They're covered in Dave & Buster's logos and insignia. They WANT me taking that stuff home, displaying it, and showing it off to my friends. When somebody asks where I got it, I get to say, "I won it at Dave & Buster's." That's brilliant marketing because now another adult wants to go there and win something cool too. Same thing at Gateway 26 on the Wildwood Boardwalk. I've won signed NFL helmets and other legitimate collectibles there. Those are prizes that make a grown adult look at the ticket requirement and think, "I want that. Let's play." At Flavortown? Nothing. We were standing inside this massive adult entertainment complex looking for one cool prize that would make us want to drop $50 or $100 playing games, and there wasn't one. So we didn't even buy a game card. They literally lost our arcade business because there was nothing worth winning. And that's crazy because the possibilities with the Flavortown brand are endless. Give adults Flavortown poker sets, branded barware, automotive memorabilia, quality glassware, signed sports merchandise--something cool enough that I'll put it in my house and tell my friends, "I won this at Flavortown." Feeling disappointed, we headed over to the tiki bar, which I will admit is a really cool setup. Since I can get a beer anywhere and it was Sunday morning, I ordered their BBQ Bloody Mary. Now, if you're going to call something a BBQ Bloody Mary at a Guy Fieri restaurant, I'm expecting you to go completely over the top. Give me a rib hanging out of it. Brisket. A thick piece of bacon. Something! Instead, I got a Bloody Mary garnished with vegetables. It tasted fine, but come on. Don't advertise a BBQ Bloody Mary if the garnish looks like it came from a salad bar. There was one big bright spot: the pretzels were phenomenal. Bacon-wrapped pretzels sitting in a skillet of cheese sauce, and they were easily the highlight of our visit. I would absolutely order those again. That's what makes Downtown Flavortown so frustrating. The building is impressive, the concept is fantastic, the tiki bar looks great, and there's enormous potential here. But a place bearing Guy Fieri's name should be anything but boring. It should be excessive, ridiculous, memorable and completely over the top. Instead, I left thinking the best way to describe Downtown Flavortown is: Great concept. Horrible execution.

I'm a Dave & Buster's Rewards member and visit the chain often in multiple cities, including Los Angeles, Hollywood, Washington, and now Sevierville. This location absolutely holds its own. The space was very clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly, not nearly as crowded as I expected given how tourist-heavy the area is. I visited with my sister, niece, and nephew, and everyone had a great time. Food was on point: I had the steak salad and the Philly cheesesteak, and we also shared the pretzel bites. Everything came out fresh and tasted great, no complaints across the table. Staff were friendly overall and helpful when needed. A special highlight was the Human Claw attraction; my nephew loved every second of it. Pure joy, zero regrets. All around, this was a solid, fun, well-run Dave & Buster's, and I'd happily come back next time I'm in the area.

And then ... a giant voice booms from the sky that everyone wearing white wristbands need to leave because their time is up. Hey, we're wearing white wrist bands! "Aw!" You say to your disappointed children. "We have to go! They are making us leave. No, we can't stay longer because otherwise, we'd be breaking the rules." And it's not your fault that you're making your children leave the "funnest" place they've visited all week. It's TopJump's fault. The booming voice is the bad guy, not you. Thanks, TopJump, for having a time limit. Otherwise, it would be hard to get my children to leave this place. This place really is fun for kids. There are trampolines, a trampoline dodge ball court, trampoline basketball courts, ninja courses, a foam pit, an area for really young kids, and lots of rock wall climbing in a different section. The climbing area was where I was most nervous, but they show you how to snap into the climbing system. Parents help their kids do it, and it's super simple. By the end, my oldest child was doing it himself and helping other kids, too, so it's very easy. The climbing area is where adventurous kids can really show off, because there are lots of different things to climb. I'm subtracting one star because the joint is a little worse for the wear. You can tell that the building is old, and things just look a little peaked. But there are lots of attentive staff everywhere making sure kids are playing safely, so that's the most important thing.
