Argggghhh Matey’s and mermaids! We took a short trip from Knoxville, TN to Pigeon Forge for the day and played mini golf at the new Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay An Epic Golf Adventure. It was the most fun we’ve had playing mini golf in a while! Here is what you need to know about it and make sure to check our guide to fun things to do in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg on your next trip to the Smoky Mountains!
Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay An Epic Golf Adventure mini golf is located right off the main parkway (the popular strip where all the attractions are) in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. They offer indoor and outdoor mini golf, interactive activities, fun photo ops, live pirates & mermaids, a face painting station, signature concession items, souvenirs, and more!
As soon as we walked in we were greeted by employees dressed up as pirates, a huge candy store called the “Candy Cave”, and fun music that made us feel like we were transported to the magical land.
Side note: The lobby smells amazing, so amazing in fact, that we asked if they sold a candle with the scent. It was the perfect beach-like scent and made the experience even more pleasurable.
What’s The Story?
This mini-golf experience takes you on an adventure with Captain Thunderbeard a fierce captain who commands the sky pirates aboard a flying ship called the Smoky Doubloon! Thunderbeard and his crew are headed toward the magical Mermaid Bay where the mermaids are hiding a treasure the pirates want.
Which platoon will you join? The mermaids or the pirates? Beware of the Kraken that is hiding… and have a safe trip!
