Wildside was awesome! My son spent 2 full days biking the trails and had a blast! We rented a full suspension petal bike for him and he loved it! The trails and jump park were great! He can't wait to come back! The only negative is that they don't serve food yet. They sell snacks, but just chips, granola bars, drinks, etc. You need to pack a lunch if you don't want to leave to grab a Bite.

I've been here a bunch of times, the area not wild side, and done a lot of the tours offered. This was by FAR the best experience ever. We are already planning on coming back solely for this alone. We went the morning of the wedding we were attending and couldn't stop telling everyone about it. Our guides Jessica and Mike were really great & personable & really made the tour that much more interesting. Seriously if you're in between places go here, it was that good. The place is also beautiful ; you can tell they put a lot into this place. The merch was quality too. Maybe in the future if they add beers & food we'll never leave.

We had an absolutely amazing & adventurous UTV ride with Dusty leading the tour! Every staff member we interacted with was exceptionally friendly. You could tell they loved what they did and wanted our time there to feel unique and special. This tour was the highlight of our vacation. It was the right amount of a beginner could do it and simultaneously exhilarating for the experienced driver. Definitely not boring by any means. The views at the top were gorgeous. You will get likely dirty so dress accordingly. Do not think twice about visiting Wildside!

New and expanding adult fun zone. ATVs, mountain bike and a few more to come. Place is less than a year old, but lots construction going on to add more fun. No worries, the construction isn't a damper on the fun. We did the ATVs. Tour guides where very fun to ride alone side with. Trails was very adventurous. Steps inclines, decides, twist and turns. View at the top is breath taking. A must do again!

I'm a local and have visited multiple venues in Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, this is by far the best money I have spent in a long time in the Great Smoky mountains. Highly recommended! This is fun for the family, adventurous with awesome mountain views. Beautiful property and very nice staff. Shout out to Jess, and Tim as they were great tour guides and made our ripping journey through the woods enjoyable.
Thanks, Dean &Lu
