Everything You Need To Know About Free Activities By Xplorie

When you stay in Heartland Cabin Rental’s Gatlinburg cabins, you get spacious and delightful accommodations with all the comforts of home.

Besides providing you with the best Gatlinburg cabin rentals, Heartland allows you to use free passes to area attractions using Xplorie. 

Xplorie is an app that provides a free pass every day of your stay at our Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge rentals. You can use as many free passes each day as you like, so some of your party can go to one attraction and use a free pass, and others can go to a different activity and use a different free pass. Here are some of the exciting things you to do in Gatlinburg using your Xplorie free passes.

Rowdy Bear Snow Park 

You get an Xplorie free-attraction activity pass during each day of your stay in Gatlinburg. This provides you with admission to the Laser Gun Coaster, and the Power Coaster, and gives you 15 minutes of axe throwing. The Laser Coaster in North America’s first Alpine flyer. It’s an inverted roller coaster and you can use your laser gun to shoot at targets as you ride on the coaster. The Power Coaster is a two-seater coaster that takes you through the ridge while you control your speed. Axe throwing involved throwing axes at targets outdoors. The Xplorie pass lets you experience all three activities for free!

Big Creek Expeditions

Go whitewater rafting in Pigeon Forge for an exciting adventure. You can go on a professionally guided whitewater rapids adventure for ages eight and above, or a calmer floating trip for ages three and up. You’ll be on the water for about an hour and a half but expect to spend three hours on this activity for registration, orientation, and transportation to the launch site. 

Comedy Barn 

Not just comedy, you’ll also find magicians jugglers, ventriloquists, animals, and live country and gospel music at the Comedy Barn. It’s a two-hour show with a 20-minute intermission. The Comedy Barn show is the most successful and most attended clean comedy show in the world. You’ll laugh until you can’t laugh anymore. It’s great for all ages.

Dollywood

The Dollywood Theme Park is one of the biggest attractions in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. It is a 150-acre park in the Great Smoky Mountains and has over 50 world-class rides. You’ll also find some great food, entertainment, and an award-winning friendly atmosphere that would make Dolly proud. Opening in May of 2023 in the Wildwood Grove Park expansion, Big Bear Mountain is the largest roller coaster in Dollywood. Are you brave enough to try it?

Splash Country 

Splash Country is the water park companion to the Dollywood Theme Park. There is no better place to cool off and have a blast on a hot summer’s day. There are exciting water slides, other thrilling water rides, and lots of serene pools, splash pads, and lazy rivers. You can get a hand stamp so you can leave the park and re-enter. There are lockers, restaurants, and shopping available inside the park. Xplorie provides one general admission ticket per day of your stay.

Five Oaks

Get a standard guided horseback riding tour of the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Travel through scenic forest coves and hilltops. Five Oaks has minimum and maximum weight requirements and requires all riders to be physically able to manage the horse. Dress appropriately – no skirts, dresses, or loose hanging clothing or jewelry. Also, be sure that your pockets are empty – you don’t want your phone or wallet to jiggle out of your pocket as you ride!  Roam the area on horseback and get a different view of the Smokey Mountains

Titanic Museum 

In 1987, John Joslyn co-led an expedition to explore the wreck of the Titanic and recovered over 1,800 artifacts. Some of these artifacts are on display at the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum. But there is more to experience in this immersive museum adventure. When you enter the museum, you will climb a replica of the Titanic’s handcrafted Grand Staircase. You’ll be able to hold the captain’s wheel, tap out messages on the wireless, feel the chill of an iceberg, and listen to stories of the survivors of the Titanic. Everyone will be fascinated by this living tribute to the 2,208 passengers and crew of the Titanic.

Wonderworks

Wonderworks combines entertainment and education for a fun time for kids and adults. According to legend, there was a top-secret laboratory in the Bermuda Triangle. When an experiment went awry, the lab was transported to Pigeon Forge and landed upside down. Miraculously, all the exhibits remained intact. 

There are over 100 exhibits that challenge the mind and body and allow your imagination to take a front seat. You’ll be able to experience 71 mph hurricane winds, make life-sized bubbles, and feel zero gravity. There are ropes courses, a 4D XD simulation ride, and laser tag. There is something for kids of all ages at Wonderworks.
