    Fun, unique experience! While in Blue Ridge, we visited Tank Town USA to drive a tank and shoot their .30 caliber machine gun. The website displayed no openings so we emailed Todd to see if he could fit us in. He responded and reserved a spot for us during our requested date range. The process of reserving a time and paying was straight forward. Pros: - Todd is welcoming, informative, and experienced - During the drive he provided guidance on speed and what to expect - Detailed, easy to navigate website - Easy reservations online or by phone - Clear instructions and details provided via email - Location is conspicuous - Ample parking - Reasonably priced Bring water and sunscreen, especially if you visit during the summer months.

    Such a great experience! Instructions were clear and scooping up and pushing around mud is so much fun! We had a great time. It's also really fun to watch others crush cars.

    Amazing!  Great way to renew my man-card.

    Todd is the ultimate host and photo expert! We celebrated a buddies 40th with destroying a Honda Civic and shooting the M1919 on 10/17/20. Through the entire experience, Todd didn't rush us and made sure we all had a great time. We had a crew of 8 total adults (2 from Fargo, ND; 2 from Minneapolis, MN; and 4 from Nashville, TN) and we all had a fantastic time! Every picture and video is like reliving the very positive and fun experience. Thank you to Todd for making it so great!

    Tank Town USA is an absolute must if you're in town for a bachelor party/bachelorette party/birthday party/stress relief seminar. A one of a kind experience that I would readily do again, and plan to when I have the chance. If you're reading this review because you're unsure if its worth it, stop wondering. Its worth every cent. The long and short of it. 1. TANKS! We christened our ride Tanky McTankface and did laps around the track in groups of 3. Each person took a turn driving, riding in the back cabin, and sitting in the top bucket seat (all with lit cigars in mouth...... because that's how you roll with tanks). The tank maneuvers surprisingly well for such a large vehicle and tops out much faster than I would have expected. With a little mud available from the rain the night before, we had an awesome time hap handedly rolling through puddles, kicking up dirt and being all tank-y. Would definitely do again. 2. Excavation. After we left the tank we were directed to an excavator and a big hole. We proceeded to make the big hole even bigger in a variety of ways (digging, pushing, more digging). It wasn't anything I had really had any desire to do previously but was surprisingly interesting and fun. I would spend more time in that cabin if I had the chance. 3. Car Crushing. The final stage of our afternoon, we were presented with a less than mint condition Ford Explorer and a few cans of spray-paint. After some creativity and a whole bunch of inside jokes, as well as the date of our buddies wedding, the bachelor boarded Tanky McTankface and did a few laps, making sure to shatter every part of the poor truck. Needless to say the sound of a several ton tank rolling over pane glass is pretty satisfying. After the damage was done we were allowed to go to town on the remains with a sledge hammer. Who the hell needs a therapist? 4. Staff. It would be unfair for me to not mention the awesome guys running this place. They really went out of their way to make sure that we got the full experience we were looking for. I want to thank them for their infinite patience when showing us how to use the machinery as well as taking about a million photos. These guys know what they're doing, know what their guests are looking for, and helped provide an experience that we'll all remember for a long, long time. While we weren't wreaking havoc, we were provided with a couple chairs in a shaded truck with a fan to keep cool and watch our buddies have the time of their lives. I'm really glad we were able to have such an awesome experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who happens to be up the way of Blue Ridge. Overall Grade: A

    Let boys (21 & 19 yrs old) drive a tank on this vacation. The one-man show is incredible and is run very professionally. The boys enjoyed immensely and the "biggest-child", the father, enjoyed riding on top during their driving times.

    Party of seven on a cold January afternoon, LOVING TANK TOWN USA!

    This place is AWESOME! We brought a party of seven of all ages and everyone of us left there ready to go again. They are a little hard to get a hold of at first but once you talk with Todd he responds quickly by email. We didn't pay to crush a car but we will be paying to do that next time.

    Thank you to Todd with Tank Town USA for helping me surprise my husband for our 2nd anniversary. After looking online it said the date I wanted was not available. I contacted Todd and he was able to personally schedule the date and time that worked best for our vacation schedule. He was very responsive and helpful! We arrived for the tank driving and car crush experience and my husband was very surprised and excited! We spray painted the car and banged it up before my husband took the wheel of the tank to crush it! Todd was very knowledgable and explained the history of the tanks. He took tons of cool pictures and videos for us! It was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone who wants to tap into their wild side! Todd also suggested a beautiful scenic route and hike for us to check out on our way to Helen and we are so happy we followed his advice!

    We loved Tank Town!!!

You are required to fill out a waiver, they have a QR code to scan once you get up the ticket booth they will verify that you completed it. They do offer a military discount - however we left everything in the car so we had to go back and fetch that. They give you a ticket, hold on to it as it's your ticket to ride! There were lots of things that could have been told to us while we were in line buying our tickets but instead we had an employee who screamed and yelled while we waited. I hate to say we waited longer than the actual ride took but we did. On that note, if you enjoyed your first ride they will let you go a second time for 1/2 off the price. But we got on the coaster, got buckled in and told to hold on to the handle bars. Given quick instructions (push forward to go, pull back to slow down) and up the mountain we went. During the ride they do take a picture so remember to smile! Was it fun, it was . . . However we need to extend the track and make it a little longer.

    We went an hour and a half out of our way to visit The Lost Sea…read more After the experience, I'd do it again. This isn't just a cave tour. It's an underground adventure. The journey takes you about three-quarters of a mile through the cavern at a comfortable 58 degrees, so bring a light jacket unless you enjoy pretending you're on an episode of Survivor: Chilly Cave Edition. The climb back out is roughly the equivalent of 14 stories, though there are three scheduled rest stops to remind you that oxygen is still available. Like many attractions, your experience depends heavily on the guide. Ours, Sam, was knowledgeable and professional, but more matter-of-fact than entertaining. The information was there; the excitement wasn't always. Fortunately, the real star of the show doesn't need a microphone. The underground boat ride across the second-largest known underground lake is absolutely fascinating. Gliding through the darkness while seeing rainbow trout swimming in waters hidden beneath the mountains is one of those experiences that's genuinely hard to describe until you've seen it yourself. The cavern is also packed with history, but I'll let your guide tell those stories rather than spoil part of the adventure. One bonus: they offer free-roaming spelunking areas for those who want to do a little exploring on their own. Five stars. Unique, memorable, and absolutely worth the detour. Some attractions are tourist traps. The Lost Sea is something you'll actually remember.

There's a great mix of shops, restaurants, attractions, entertainment, and plenty of colorful details that make it an enjoyable place to explore. I visited during the fall, and I especially loved all of the seasonal touches. Pumpkins, mums, hay bales, a vintage tractor, and other autumn decorations made the entire area feel festive and gave me plenty of fun photo opportunities. Of course, the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is the landmark you can't miss. Riding it gives you a completely different perspective of Pigeon Forge and the surrounding area, and the enclosed gondolas make for a comfortable ride. My biggest hesitation is the price. Since you pay per person, taking an entire family up in one gondola can become expensive pretty quickly. Overall, The Island is a fun stop whether you want to ride attractions, grab something to eat, shop, people-watch, or simply walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. Even if you don't ride the wheel, it makes a pretty spectacular backdrop! Four stars from me--fun, photogenic, and definitely worth exploring, but some of the attractions can make a family visit pricey.

The attendant just lets the demon goblin go ahead but even after climbing, hitting the buzzer, she continues letting them climb for well over 20 mins. I say something at 1st she's acting like she don't know or remember. Huh? They just climbed off, I said something the moment she ran straight past me. she calls a manager and proceeds to tell the manager she was confused she thought they were my kids. Huh? Why would I be upset her jumping in front of me? You stood there while her parents were adamant she was going ahead of me. The managers like I mean I can throw you like $7 on an arcade card which was pretty insulting considering I paid 25 and only did go carts once a $9 value. Rather discouraging makes you not even wanna do anything there at all. Here's a pic of my kid getting to have the fun I paid for though. Sure wish I couldve just got to enjoy my Friday night.

This was after she scolded me in front of the whole party for looking in the cabinet after she left the room with the lighter for the birthday candles. She was not very personable with my daughter at all and could have told my daughter that she could eat her birthday cake at one of the many other tables / booths in the place. (It was not busy yet at all) I still ended up paying full price for the birthday party but I was offered a game card to spend there as an apology I guess. Wouldn't recommend, and have such better party experiences in less room time elsewhere. Overpriced for such a terrible experience
