About Space Race Adventures
Looking for something different in Pigeon Forge? Space Race Adventures stands out among local amusement centers by delivering a genuinely immersive cosmic experience across multiple levels of entertainment. The showstopper is their Hurricane VR simulator on the second floor - a 6-axis motion platform that rotates 360 degrees while you're exploring virtual worlds. Don't make the rookie mistake of missing the upstairs area where all the VR attractions are located.
The ground floor packs plenty of action with high-speed go-karts on a figure-eight track (they're among the fastest in Pigeon Forge) and a sprawling 5,500-square-foot laser tag arena that gives you plenty of room for tactical gameplay. The indoor mini-golf course features 15 holes spread across three distinct planetary themes, with blacklight effects that create an otherworldly atmosphere.
Their $35 all-day pass offers excellent value, allowing you to come and go as you please. If you're planning to try multiple activities, definitely ask about combo packages - they can save you significant money compared to paying for each attraction separately. The staff is known for helping visitors choose the right package for their group size and interests.
While the VR experiences and go-karts tend to draw the biggest crowds, the laser tag arena and mini-golf course provide solid entertainment options when you need a break from the more intense activities. Pro tip: start with the upstairs VR attractions early in your visit when wait times are typically shorter.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Hurricane VR Experience
This 4-seat, 6-axis motion simulator with 360-degree rotation is the crown jewel. You'll feel like you're actually flying through space while the seat moves in perfect sync with the virtual world. It's located on the second floor, so don't miss it.
Figure-Eight Go-Kart Track
These are legitimately the fastest go-karts we've tried in Pigeon Forge. The figure-eight design creates some fun passing opportunities and keeps the racing interesting for multiple laps.
Megaverse VR Arena
Up to 6 players can battle in this 600-square-foot VR room with full-body tracking. You'll actually walk around and interact with the virtual environment, not just stand in one spot like basic VR.
5,500 Sq Ft Laser Tag Arena
This isn't a cramped laser tag course - there's real room to move and develop strategy. The space theme carries through with futuristic obstacles and lighting effects.
Planetary Mini Golf Course
The 15 holes feature three different planetary biomes with blacklight effects that make the course glow. It's more immersive than typical indoor mini golf, with actual themed environments.
