Alcatraz East Crime Museum on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge opened in 2016 in a building styled as a 19th-century prison. It began in 2008 in Washington, D.C., as the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. Its two floors cover the history of crime, policing and forensic science, with artefacts from notable cases and interactive crime-scene exhibits.
WonderWorks Pigeon Forge is a hands-on science attraction in a building constructed to look as if it had landed upside down, opened in 2006. Its more than 100 interactive exhibits let visitors feel hurricane-force winds and an earthquake simulation, lie on a bed of nails and try a space-flight simulator, and it has a ropes course and a laser tag arena.
Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, opened in 2000 in downtown Gatlinburg, is run by the Ripley Entertainment company. A moving walkway carries visitors through an underwater tunnel of sharks, sea turtles and rays, and other galleries show a coral reef, penguins, jellyfish and touch tanks with horseshoe crabs and stingrays.
Gatlinburg SkyPark sits on Crockett Mountain above downtown Gatlinburg and is reached by the SkyLift, a chairlift running since 1954. At the top, the SkyBridge, opened in 2019, is a pedestrian suspension bridge about 210 metres long with a glass-floored section in the middle, looking over the town and the Great Smoky Mountains.
