Escape Rooms
The pressure is on, the time is ticking, and your team must work together in order to “survive.” Escape rooms are an excellent choice for an indoor team activity in Pigeon Forge. Your team will have one hour to decode secret missions through problem-solving, attention to detail, and teamwork. The unique scenarios and clues will challenge each member and encourage players to bring their ideas together to escape before the time is up.
Adventure Park at Five Oaks
With individual and group challenges, the Tree Top Ropes Course at Adventure Park at Five Oaks will allow your team to conquer challenges at a new height. Adventure Tree Tops Ropes Course is separated into two zones, which will enable visitors to navigate the course at their own pace. No matter where you are in the course, you will be safely connected to secure cables and a harness. For younger groups of children between the ages of 8-11, Adventure Park at Five Oaks offers a Junior Ropes Course. This course includes elements such as cargo nets, a suspension bridge, a sit and swing, and more.
