WonderWorks Pigeon Forge is hosting some special events that locals and visiting families alike will not want to miss out on. WonderWorks Pigeon Forge is hosting a Sensory Day event and multiple Homeschool Days in the coming weeks and months. These events give everyone a chance to experience all the fun this indoor amusement park for the mind has to offer, all while making it more comfortable for some and providing an excellent learning environment for all.
“Our upcoming Sensory Day event is a great opportunity for guests to experience our attraction without feeling overwhelmed. Many exhibits will be altered, but they’ll still be just as fun!” said Joe Baumgartner, general manager at WonderWorks Pigeon Forge.
WonderWorks will offer a special Sensory Day on Sunday, August 25, 2024, from 2-6 pm. During this special event, the exhibits will be altered to provide limited stimulation for guests with special needs. The altered exhibits aim to make the facility more comfortable for everyone to interact with and participate in each activity without being overwhelmed. Admission tickets for Sensory Days are $15 per person, plus tax, and can be purchased upon arrival.

WonderWorks is also offering Homeschool Days during September and October 2024, on weekdays when school is in session, from open until 3 pm. Homeschool students, teachers, and their families can take advantage of tickets that are just $13.99, plus tax. Guests must show their homeschool ID or proof of homeschool affiliation at the admissions counter upon arrival to redeem this deal. Homeschool groups with 10 or more who make advanced reservations qualify for an even lower discounted rate of $11.99, plus tax, per ticket. The special homeschool rates are not available on holidays.
