While the virtual reality experience is fun, to be sure, Space Race Adventures also offers some other forms of fun, such as the space-station-themed 15-hole mini golf course. The course is designed to mimic the look of a space station, featuring three different planetary biomes, but with the added boost of pops of color made possible by black lighting. Every hole presents a new challenge, along with a new world, with caverns, lush jungles, and an underwater realm.

Laser tag and golf-karts are yet another fun option when visiting Space Race Adventures. Race your group of family and friends, or strategize in a laser tag battle and see who comes out the winner. While there are many attractions in the Pigeon Forge area to enjoy, Space Race Adventures holds the unique distinction of offering a space-themed and galactic experience, along with some virtual reality experiences, most of which are indoors. Locate the mini-golf and virtual reality experience upstairs and the go-karts downstairs.

Visiting the Space Race Adventure is a great way to cool down after visiting area attractions in the nice cool air conditioner in the summer or warm after being outdoors in the winter, depending on the time of year. This will keep both the kids and adults alike entertained and engaged with unique games and innovative experiences that will push the limits of the mind and the body while being perfectly safe. Of course, it’s also a great rainy-day activity to do to get some of that bottled energy out and spend a few hours having fun.

Insider Tips:
-Guests note that in some of the virtual experiences, you might be put upside down depending on the theme, so it’s good to know that items of your pockets can fall out, so make sure to ask about the motions that you can expect to experience when choosing your VR activity. Some will involve more movement than others.
-Go-karts operate on a figure-8 track and the single karts are considered fast. They do offer dual seats for those with small children. These karts are not as fast. Some guests stated that the single karts are the fastest karts in town, without having to sign a waiver. It’s also worth noting that the karts are not usually overcrowded.
-You can subscribe to the Space Race Adventure newsletter and get special discounts. You can book your visit on the website and can purchase individual rides/experiences or packages for more savings when planning to do more than one activity.
