Zorbing
Climb inside a giant inflatable ball and roll down a grass hillside at Outdoor Gravity Park in Pigeon Forge. It is the only zorbing venue in the United States and one of the most unexpected thrills in the Smokies.
What to Know
Best Seasons
Open year-round weather permitting. Best in spring and fall when temps are mild. Hot summer days make hydro zorbing extra refreshing. Icy conditions close the hill in winter.
What to Bring
Wear clothes you do not mind getting wet if you choose hydro zorbing. Closed-toe shoes required. No loose jewelry or glasses. Bring a change of clothes.
Finding the Right Zorbing for Your Group
For Families with Kids
There is a minimum age and weight requirement. Kids under the limit can watch from a viewing area. It is a fun spectator activity even if the little ones cannot ride yet.
For Groups and Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
Zorbing is one of the best group activities in Pigeon Forge. Watching your friends tumble down the hill is half the fun. Groups can ride simultaneously on adjacent lanes.
For Thrill Seekers
If you want the fastest spin, go harness on the steepest lane and ask staff for a big push at the top. It is disorienting in the best possible way.
Tips and Getting There
Insider Tips
- Hydro zorbing is the more popular option - the water makes it slippery and hilarious. First-timers almost always wish they had booked hydro instead of harness.
- Go on a weekday morning to skip the wait. Weekend afternoons in summer can have 45-minute waits.
- Outdoor Gravity Park also has axe throwing, trampoline, and mini golf - worth making it a half-day stop.
Getting There and Parking
Outdoor Gravity Park is on Sugar Hollow Rd just off the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. There is a free parking lot on site. Easy to spot from the road - look for the large hill with colorful balls rolling down it.
