The Island in Pigeon Forge is a modern shopping and entertainment center in the heart of The Great Smoky Mountains, located just off the Pigeon Forge Parkway. The parks’ key attractions are anchored by the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, a 200-foot high observation wheel, and the stunning Island Display Fountains. A combination of retail stores, restaurants, eateries, rides, and live music can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. After the sun has slipped below the horizon, the Display Fountains become a stunning light show perfectly synchronizing along with pulsing rhythmic music.
