WonderWorks Pigeon Forge invites children and adults with special needs, along with their families and caregivers, to experience its interactive exhibits during two Sensory Days in 2026.

During these special events, the attraction makes thoughtful adjustments to reduce stimulation and create a more comfortable environment. Background music is lowered, loud exhibits are temporarily turned off, and the attraction’s spinning inversion tunnel remains still.

Guests can explore WonderWorks at their own pace while enjoying educational and interactive activities in a quieter setting. WonderWorks combines learning and entertainment with more than 100 hands-on exhibits featuring science, space, weather, physical challenges, imagination, and discovery.

Parents, caregivers, family members, and children can attend for $15 per person during the designated Sensory Day hours.
