We have a delicious southern lunch at The Old Mill and check out the most historic spot in Pigeon Forge, finally get to ride the famous (and infamous) Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride Adventure and it's everything we hoped it would be, we explore The Island, ride Pigeon Forge's newest ride, Skyfly Soar America, made by Dynamic Attractions (who also worked on Soarin' at Disney World and E.T. at Universal Studios), ride some fun rides including the Smoky Mountain Wheel, of course sampled some moonshine, see live music, shop and drive the Pigeon Forge Parkway (US-441) main drag and see some of the wild building facades on this popular tourist corridor! All with perfect weather, blue skies and views of the Smoky Mountains looming in the distance! A beautiful and perfect first time exploring Pigeon Forge! Have you been here? What's your favorite thing to do?

One of the best things about living in middle TN is knowing I can be in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg in a few short hours! Dollywood is my absolute favorite non-Disney/Universal theme park & The Apple Barn (and its restaurant) is a MUST visit every trip!
Yummmm Apple Barn 🤤
I ate at The Apple Barn last week!
Same! And we eat there every trip! The fritters!
We love the apple barn! They have the best breakfast!
Same. I can make the trip in about an hour and a half I almoast prefer to go here over anywhere else.
Tennessee is like my 2nd home I love Pigeon Forge is very nice
Thank you for visiting one of Tennessee’s most popular attractions (town). People come from all over the world to see Pigeon Forge TN. Loved your video ❤
I work at the beef jerky store on the Island. Had I known you would be there, I'd have hooked you up with road snacks!
Aw man!!!! That woulda been so cool. Thank u tho, that’s really cool of u!
Love seeing you guys in my "happy place". When everyone went to the beach when I was a kid my parents took me to the Smoky's. And we....hiked, and hiked and hiked and hiked. My parents instilled a love of that area into my heart. fast forward many years and I passed on my love to my wife who also has a love of the outdoors. Fast forward quite a few more years and we ended up buying a vacation home that overlooked Mt Leconte. We raised our girls in that cabin going there every time we had a chance. Fast forward a few more years and the wild fires in 2016 destroyed our little cabin. Broke our hearts to lose something that was so ingrained in our family unit. We rebuilt and ended up selling it as it was not the same little cabin that held all of our memories. And now we still take our girls up there we just rent certain cabins of people we have known for years in the Arts and Crafts District outside of Gatlinburg. I will not barrage you with recommendations as I am sure your trip is already finished and you had it planned out already but if you ever plan to go back I have quite a bit of knowledge I would happily pass on that would really create a magical experience for you guys that is outside of the standard tourist stuff. Anyway thanks for the video and glad to see you two having so much fun :)
We moved to Sevierville last year. None of my coworkers are the go out and explore type and we haven't been able to find anywhere not overrun with tourists. I've only been to Gatlinburg twice even...
I know I'm not the video host, but would love any insights/suggestions you may have :)
@@NoxCattus HA! Yea that traffic is NOT cool. Years ago they would have down times but they have all gone away now. We know all of the back roads to get into the Smoky's and Gatlinburg and how to get around Pigeon Forge. As for recs I will just do some quick ones not to tie up the comment section. 1. Arts and Crafts District just out of Gatlinburg. Awesome Art Galleries, Tapas bars and British pubs. Also there is a very historic Inn B&B..The Buckhorn Inn. prior presidents have stayed there and you can get dinner reservations even if you do not stay there but book early. The GreenBriar entrance to the Smokeys is also on that side of the Arts and Crafts district and this is where the locals go to hike. Much less congested and great trails that will take you up Mt Leconte. I have other recs but I will leave it there for now. Hope you figure out how to traverse that place. Once you do it becomes much more enjoyable :) I have even cycled up to Clingmans Dome on my bike ( got to start that one around 0400 in the morning to beat the traffic LOL!
Hi Jackie and Sam. You're not weird, everyone who doesn't watch Expedition Enthused are the weird ones. Thank you for bringing us along for the Super Fun Day. Now on to the next Adventure.
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have become our family’s go to for vacation now. The area is beautiful, the people are so friendly and we just love being there.
I to am a souvenir photo buyer especially if my kids are in. You wouldn’t regret it years later.
And your kids will have those to look back on, best souvenirs!
Just there 3 weeks ago! Ate at Old Mill and I could have devoured a bucket of that corn chowder.
We are so excited to see you and Sam back in our neck of the woods. Pigeon Forge is about 2 hours away from my hometown. It's awesome to see our favorite youtuber enjoying things that we know and love. Can't wait for more. We are excited and ENTHUSED Jackie!!!
Took my son on the Jurassic ride. He loved it being Autistic and loves dinosaurs. As a parent, waste of money, but he enjoyed it. That is the main thing. Way overcharged
Jackie Great place to visit. Have a wonderful time. Thank You for sharing.
Welcome to my home have fun thanks for all vlogs
It looks so fun for Sam and you.
Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride!! An Adam the Woo and Carpetbagger favorite
Haha well now that I’ve done it myself you can add a Super Enthused favorite to that list too!
What a fun day!
If you go to one of the dinners with a show, I recommend pirates. Be careful with the traffic, it bottlenecks everywhere. Gatlinburg has even more traffic
Glad to have you in my stomping grounds Jackie
I was just in Pigeon Forge and nearly did the Jurassic boat ride, as in, I was parked out the front. After seeing this, I am glad I changed my mind and left lol
I love you are visiting a place I’m so close to and have spent so much of my life visiting. There’s so much to do in the area!
I hope you get to Dollywood their flower and festival is not to be missed. ( and I grew up Disney and even had my wedding at the pavilion and reception at Epcot’s living with the seas ( years ago back then it was very reasonably priced). And I still think Dollywood does a spectacular job on their already beautifuly themed park.
I’m usually in Pigeon Forge once a year(either for the annual Corvette Expo or for a Dollywood trip) and I don’t care how touristy it is, but I always stop by the Old Mill for a meal and do a moonshine tasting every single time!
We go to Pigeon Forge almost every year! It's so awesome to see you guys visiting as well! Between Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Dollywood there is so much to do! You can go back multiple times and still try all new things!
Soooo much to do!
At the old Mill restaurant It’s a good place to have breakfast instead of lunch buttermilk biscuits and gravy pancakes hash brown casserole
I love pigeon forge TN. One of my favorite places. I really enjoy hanging out at the Island
Loving your road trip videos! If you are still in the area, highly recommend The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in Bryson City NC (about 60 miles from Pigeon Forge.) Authentic full size diesel and steam train tours. The Nantahala Gorge train excursion will take your breath away! Depending on time of year, they have a wine train, moonshine train, Bunny hop train, BBQ train, Polar Express train. Even if there is not currently a special event, the daily train over the Gorge is still outstanding! A real must see and worthy addition to your road trip to do list! Eagerly anticipating your next video! Safe travels!
Pigeon Forge certainly looks like a fun place. I love watching Jacob the Carpetbagger’s vids, he really knows all the ins and outs.
It was so much fun watching you both experience it together, you found many of the interesting attractions and eateries, it truly is a fun hub of activities.
Jackie, it’s so much fun watching you experience all these new places! I think you made a great decision to take this trip, setting out on New Adventures! Thanks for bringing us along! 😄
My son loves the rope course. That's a must do when we go.
We had the best time there last august. So glad you are there
Pigeon forge is my favorite vacation spot. So much fun.
Yes so excited you are there !!!
You guys are awesome! Have fun on your trip, thanks for letting us tag along. #ExpeditionEnthused lives on!!! Sam, most excellent choice of clothing. Jackie your scared little yelps at the dinosaurs is too cute. Keep being awesome!
We usually visit the Smokie's twice a year. But be careful! Rod runs and other vehicle shows will really make it crazy. We try to go before the season really starts kicking and after the season is over staying away from the Christmas holiday. We have been there during the holiday and it was not as enjoyable as other times with the crowds. Doing this makes for a great vacation. Only downside during those times is most everything closes by 9pm.. We have stayed at the Island for 5 trips so far.. need to start looking at other options now.
“Expedition Enthused” - Love it!!! ❤️
I live nearby that town! It’s a fun place!
Thanks for visiting and filming. My daughter has not been up there since she was 5 so we are going in three weeks. Oh she is 33 now. lol
How exciting!!
Great video Expedition Enthused. Pigeon Forge is on my bucket list. Can’t wait for the next video. Have a blast!
What a great video, you two! Very fun trip today!
Jurassic Boat Ride!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🦕
no way Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is my fav ever! So stoked to watch your adventure there!
Loved it. Never been there. Thanks for taking us along.
welcome to one of my favorite places on earth. There are so many things to see/do there. make sure to do the Alpine racers, and eat at Paula Deans. Also, check out Lil Black Bear Cafe. Small place, family owned and the staff there are so incredbily nice. Can't wait to see you at Dollywood. Get that Cinnamon bread! And can't wait to see you do Lighting Rod!!!!! hahahaaaaaa I cannot wait for your reaction video. Have a great time!
Your videos are literally the best in this category. Very clearly footage, get information, and we can see you really enjoy what you do. Thank you Jackie!

That dinosaur ride looks right up my alley!
Wow another fantastic video! Love how positive and happy you and Sam are. It’s so refreshing watching your videos and your honesty on rides and giving such a detailed content. Can’t wait to see more!
It's always such a wonderful place to visit. I'm so glad you get to see it.

I’m loving these travel Vlogs, nice job!!!
So excited you went there! I am going for my first visit in June! Glad you had fun!!
This was so much fun! I would totally go on those rides. I love these road trip videos. Thank you Jackie!
I always wanted to visit the Great Smoky Mountains and Pigeon Forge looks so fun! I would especially want to try the Soarin type ride. 5 Dollars for 7 shots of whisky sounds like a great deal!
When they first opened it was free 🤷🏻♂️
Seems like such a fun little place. I need to get there someday. Awesome vid.
soo cool 😎 Thank you for sharing
I love Pigeon Forge! We went in June 2021 and it was packed - seemed like everyone went on vacation to the same place at the same time..XD
Same! We were there as well! 😁
Hi Jackie and Sam. Thank you for taking us along with you all. I love pigeon forge I can't wait to go. You guys are so awesome
I've been inspired to write a poem for no particular reason.
We started off with something Smokey
On a day that proved kinda hokey.
Went on the slowest boat ride ever
With some Dinos that didn't look too clever.
Went on a big wheel oh so high
Your toes were dangling in the sky.
Nothing we did was dull or boring,
Especially the ride that was a copy of soarin
Nearly got whiplash on a parrot that was spinning
But with Jackie & Sam we're always winning.
So this video was definitely NOT a crock
We even saw a Catfish sucking a rock.
Thanks again Jackie & Sam! This brings back memories....... Great to see You Both having a great time!!
Hoping to visit Pigeon Forge in person for my first time this summer. Especially excited about y’all visiting Dollywood. 🦋 Thanks for the awesome road trip vlogs and can’t wait for the next Expedition Enthused adventure! 😎❤️
It's been almost 20 years since I've been to Pigeon Forge, so much has changed. I personally loved the Jurassic boat ride. Thanks for taking us along.
Can't wait for more!!!
So glad you visited our favorite vacation spot. Nice to see someone else's perspective.
I absolutely love ❤️ Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!! I hope you guys are having a wonderful vacation and I can’t wait to see all the videos!!!
Welcome to East TN! Hope y’all have an amazing time!!! 💕
Jackie, I loved Pigeon Forge! Our cabin was just up the hill past the Jurassic Boat Ride when we went. I’m so glad you guys made it there and I hope you two are having a blast! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. ❤️
oh cool! ill be visiting there in like two days! so excited
OMG I'm going to pigeon forge in October. Love that you're going all over the place and vlogging all your great adventures.
Can’t say this enough. Jurassic Boat Ride rules.
It does!!!
I've been so excited for you to visit my home state. Welcome to Tennessee!!
I was so happy to see that you are in Pigeon Forge. I find it to be fun wacky tourist town but I love staying in a quiet hidden cabin in the mountains. My kids with their cousins have the best time and always want to go back every summer.
Love seeing Sam
Love you both❤
I'm so excited for this trip! The Smoky Mountains are amazingly beautiful, and there's so much to do in the area. I've been twice and still haven't even been to Dollywood!
We were there last November, loved it! We ate at the Old Mill too, I was so full!
You made it to my hometown!!! Looks like you had a fun day and just scratched the surface. I don't get to the parkway much anymore I fish that river and tend to hang in the forests. I did raise two kids here though and know every inch..lol enjoy!
Nice one Jackie i love it
Great place to visit!
Hello Jackie, & Sam! So good to see you both! I hope you both have a very enjoyable time here in The Great Smokey Mountains! So glad you are getting a chance to visit other parks.
Great video. I really wanna go to Tennessee. Hope you guys had a blast over there.
The Frizzle Chicken has robotic chickens in roosts along the walls that cluck out country songs.
The strawberry cream moonshine is soooo good!!!! And i got some cookie dough whiskey from there and peanut butter is good too
We were there last fall and we love pigeon forge it’s amazing!!!
We are thinking of going next year, So this video is very helpful.
Loved the Imax type ride. You are a great couple together.
Really enjoyed your video! I wouldn't get on that ferris wheel because, I'm afraid of heights! Never had moonshine either!
It helps that it’s enclosed
I also like how the non chain hotels try to personalize your stay. Ours had fire pits and offered s’mores making supplies every night. Simple but nice.
old Mill. Great food. Last time we visited we happen to run into a wedding on the rocks below taking place. Took pics and sent them to the bride. We were up on the side street looking towards the restaurant so we had the perfect view.
I love road trips, it looks like y’all are going on quite an adventure, so glad to tagalong.
If you are still in Pigeon Forge, go to Dolly's Stampede and the Hatfields and Mccoys dinner show. Eat at the Alamo for steak. Definitely don't forget to go to Cades Cove. Get there early and make a couple of trips around the loop and make sure you check out the old homes and churches, the visitor center area, and keep an eye out for deer, bear, fox, coyote, etc. BUT KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
So Beautiful ❤
Was here in 2019 and went to Dollywood and did Crave Mini Golf, I wanna go back SO BADLY!!! Tennessee is gorgeous!
What a lovely day! We very much enjoy any type of dark ride and/or boat ride so Jurrasic was a fun watch! If you ever make it here to Texas, visit Glaveston and ride the raft ride at Rain Forest Cafe on the Seawall. We think y'all would enjoy it. There is also a fun 4D ride at Moody Gardens you might enjoy. And the Pleasure Pier is a must do. Back to Tennessee...Tennessee is so beautiful. Enjoy it all. Can't wait for the next video! We love love love watching your road trip vlogs. Have a safe journey!
GREAT FUN
