Deals This Week: Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville (Nov 11–17)

This week’s deals lean toward big-group fun: $6 off Anakeesta, $21 off the Pirates Voyage dinner show, a variety show and a trampoline park for less, and the Ober Fun Pass for $15 under the window price if you buy a day ahead. We checked every price on the booking, official or Groupon page on Wednesday, and we’ve noted the town and which of our cabins each one is closest to.

Our picks this week

If we only used two of these

With a group of 10, we’d spend one night at the Pirates Voyage dinner show (dinner and the show in one stop, so nobody has to agree on a restaurant) and one day up at Anakeesta or on the Ober Fun Pass, depending on whether your crew is staying in Gatlinburg. The coasters below are 30-to-60-minute stops on the way home, not a whole day.

Most of this week’s best prices are online booking fares through Visit My Smokies, an authorized reseller. The page shows the price before fees, and the total with fees comes up at checkout, so we’ve listed both. These fares and the Groupon prices can change without notice, so check the price before you buy.

Online ticket · Gatlinburg · closest to The Last Firefly

Anakeesta: $6 off admission

Our mountaintop pick for Gatlinburg this week. The ticket includes the ride up to the summit (the coasters are add-ons), and there’s no parking on site, so plan on one of the paid public lots nearby. It’s the closest of this week’s deals to The Last Firefly, our Gatlinburg cabin.

• The deal: From $33.99 (was $39.99), so you save $6. The total with fees showed $37.86 on November 11
• Where: 576 Parkway, Gatlinburg
• How: Book online on the linked page for instant confirmation. The booking page lists free changes and cancellations (see the details when you pick your ticket)
• Ends: no end date posted; price as shown November 11, 2026, and it may change

Official tickets · Gatlinburg · closest to The Last Firefly

Ober Gatlinburg Fun Pass: $39 if you buy a day ahead

Our money-saving tip for Ober: buy the Fun Pass online at least one day before you go. It’s the same pass for $15 less than the window price. One thing to know: it’s the attractions pass, not a ski lift ticket. Ski season is expected to open Friday, November 20, weather permitting.

• The deal: $39 bought at least one day ahead, versus $49 same-day online and $54 on site. Ages 4 and under are free with a paying adult unless a ride has a size or age limit
• What it covers: The tram, the Sky Village lift and observation deck, ice bumper cars, ice skating, the carousel, rock climbing wall, chair swings, jump pillow and inflatables, and the wildlife habitat
• Not included: The coaster, bobsled, biking, disc golf, archery, summer tubing and the zipline
• Where: The downtown tram is at 1001 Parkway, Gatlinburg
• Skip: The Ober Groupon this week: its Fun Pass is $54, the same as the window price, so the official ticket page is the better buy
• Ends: no end date posted; rates as shown on Ober’s ticket page November 11, 2026 (a separate holiday-period rate is listed for December 18 to January 3)

Dinner show · Pigeon Forge · closest to The Bear Club

Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show: $21 off online

Our big-group night out for Pigeon Forge. It’s a four-course dinner and the show in one stop, and this online fare saves a lot more than the city coupon book’s $3. With 10 people, we’d book the night you want ahead of time. It’s on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, the same town as The Bear Club.

• The deal: From $69.99 (was $90.99), so you save $21. The total with fees showed $77.34 on November 11
• Where: 2713 Parkway, Pigeon Forge
• How: Book online on the linked page for instant confirmation
• Ends: no end date posted; price as shown November 11, 2026, and it may change

Variety show · Pigeon Forge · closest to The Bear Club

Array Variety Show: $15.95 off online

A good indoor night out: singing, dancing and aerial acts, and the Christmas-season performances are running now.

• The deal: From $30.00 (was $45.95), so you save $15.95. The total with fees showed $34.19 on November 11
• Where: Mountain of Entertainment Theater, 2135 Parkway, Pigeon Forge
• How: Book online on the linked page for instant confirmation
• Ends: no end date posted; price as shown November 11, 2026, and it may change

Online ticket · Sevierville · closest to Bear Mountain View

Sevier Air Trampoline & Ninja Warrior Park: $3 off

Our pick for a cold or rainy afternoon near Bear Mountain View. It’s indoors, so the weather doesn’t matter, and the kids (and the brave grown-ups) can burn off energy before dinner.

• The deal: From $19.00 (was $22.00), so you save $3. The total with fees showed $21.17 on November 11
• Where: Governor’s Crossing, Sevierville
• Good to know: Jump and grip socks are included. Everyone needs a signed waiver, and it’s good for a year
• How: Book online on the linked page for instant confirmation
• Ends: no end date posted; price as shown November 11, 2026, and it may change

Sweet stop and a bonus coupon book

The Cinnaholic at 2655 Teaster Lane, Suite 220, in Pigeon Forge runs its offers through its app, so check the Cinnaholic app for current offers before you go (store listing).

Bonus: Pigeon Forge’s free Passport to Savings mobile coupon book is worth signing up for before your trip. Its coupons are good through December 31, 2026, and you show the coupon on your phone when you pay.

Duster’s tip: buy the Ober pass the night before 🐻

“Same pass, $15 less, just for buying it a day early. With 10 people, that’s a lot of cocoa.”

Checked as of November 11, 2026: Anakeesta, Pirates Voyage, Array and Sevier Air prices from Visit My Smokies’ booking pages (authorized reseller); Ober Fun Pass rates and what the pass covers from Ober Gatlinburg’s official tickets page; Groupon prices are the regular Groupon prices we saw (not sale-code prices); Passport to Savings validity from the City of Pigeon Forge. Prices and offers change without notice, so open the link and confirm before you buy. Tax and fees are usually extra.

Until next time

Save a little, explore a little more

Pick one deal, put it on the calendar, and leave room for porch time. If you’re here for the lights, our Winterfest lights town by town guide pairs well with this list, and if you’re coming for the holiday, our Thanksgiving week day-by-day plan has the rest of the week. Missed last week’s list? Here it is (some of those coupons run through December).
