1. Night Rides on the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel

It stands as one of the tallest attractions in the Southeast and offers spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains, complete with comfortable all-glass gondolas that make it easy to see in every direction! While the daytime rides are excellent for the mountain views, the night rides offer a romantic opportunity to glide high above the sparkling lights of The Island! Instead of choosing, purchase a special Day/Night combo ticket to experience both! 

2. Relaxing Stroll Along the River

Another one of the top romantic things to do in Pigeon Forge is a relaxing stroll along the Riverwalk Greenway! This beautiful greenway follows the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River and features more than 4 miles of trails, so take your sweetheart by the hand and enjoy the great outdoors! In addition to the one-mile section that runs along the river, the Riverwalk Greenway runs behind the Pigeon Forge Community Center and the LeConte Convention Center. It eventually connects to a pleasant half-mile walking trail at Patriot Park!
