Mirror Mazes

Glowing glass corridors, dead ends, and just enough disorientation to keep everyone laughing. Mirror mazes are a quick, low cost, all weather stop that families and groups always enjoy.

What to Know

Best Seasons

Indoor and open year round, which makes mirror mazes a handy rainy day or evening filler. They are busiest on summer and holiday weekends, though the lines move fast since each run is short.

What to Bring

Nothing special. These are short, walk through attractions. Bring a little cash, since several are bundled with other Parkway attractions, and keep an eye on small children inside the maze.

Finding the Right Stop for Your Group

For Families with Kids

Mirror mazes are a hit with younger children, who find the dead ends and reflections endlessly funny. The runs are short, so attention spans are not a problem.

For a Quick Break

When you have twenty minutes to spare on the Parkway, a maze is an easy, inexpensive way to fill the gap and get a few laughs before the next thing.

For Groups

Send the group in together and watch everyone bump into the same dead ends. It is simple, silly fun that works for almost any age mix.

Tips and Getting There

Insider Tips

  • Treat the maze as a fun filler between bigger stops rather than a destination on its own.
  • Put your hand out in front of you. The glass is convincing and a gentle touch keeps you from walking into it.
  • Look for combo tickets that pair the maze with mini golf or an arcade at the same spot for better value.

Getting There and Parking

Mirror mazes are right on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, many inside larger attraction buildings with shared parking. They are easy to combine with other stops on the same strip.
