Deals This Week: Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville (Nov 4–10)
This week’s deals lean toward big-group nights out: a dinner-show coupon, a magic show for two at half price, a morning zipline tour and two mountain coasters. We checked each one on the business, tourism or Groupon page, and we’ve noted the town and which of our cabins it’s closest to.

If we only used two of these
With a group of 10, we’d book the Stampede dinner show for one night (dinner and the show in one stop, so nobody has to agree on a restaurant) and spend one morning on the Wahoo Ziplines tour before the Parkway wakes up. Everything else on the list is a good 30-to-60-minute add-on on the way home from the park.
Most of the Pigeon Forge coupons below come from the city’s free Passport to Savings mobile coupon book. Sign up with your name, email and phone, the coupons arrive on your phone, and you show the coupon when you pay. One redemption per coupon per visit, and they can’t be combined with other discounts.
Dinner show · Pigeon Forge · closest to The Bear Club
Dolly Parton’s Stampede: $3 off adult admission
Our Dolly pick for Pigeon Forge. The Christmas show runs daily now through January 3, 2027, and we always tell our guests to reserve weeks ahead, because the dinner shows do sell out, especially in busy seasons.
- The deal: $3 off adult admission, up to 6 people, with the Passport to Savings coupon
- Where: 3849 Parkway, Pigeon Forge
- How: Show the mobile coupon when you buy your tickets
- Ends: December 31, 2026 (Passport validity)
Groupon · Sevierville · closest to Bear Mountain View
Wahoo Ziplines: zipline tour from $71.20 (regularly $89)
The adventure pick of the week. The Groupon only covers the first tour of the day, which is 10 a.m. from November through February, and that suits us fine: zip in the morning, then head for the park or the Parkway.
- The deal: From $71.20 per person (regularly $89), for 1, 2 or up to 6 people
- Where: 605 Stockton Dr, Sevierville
- How: Buy the Groupon, then call 865-366-1111 to book your tour. Not valid on holidays
- Ends: the promo value expires 60 days after purchase, and you need to book 48 hours ahead by calling 865-366-1111 (10am-4pm). Price as shown Nov 4; Groupon prices change often, so check before you buy
Groupon · Sevierville · closest to Bear Mountain View
Impossibilities magic show: admission for 2 at $40 (regularly $80)
A good indoor night when the weather turns, and a fit for mixed ages. With a group of 10, the 4- and 6-person options save you buying five pairs.
- The deal: 2 tickets for $40 (regularly $80); 4- and 6-person options too
- Where: 1548 Parkway, Sevierville
- Fine print: Groupon says the amount you paid never expires
- Ends: no end date shown; check the price before you buy
Online ticket · Gatlinburg · closest to The Last Firefly
Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies: $3 off online admission
Our rainy-day go-to in Gatlinburg. Our tip: go at an off hour, like dinnertime, because the aquarium is usually packed on rainy days.

- Where: 88 River Road, Gatlinburg

Groupon · Gatlinburg · closest to The Last Firefly
Ripley’s Mountain Coaster: 7 days of unlimited rides, $28.13 per person
If your crew rides once and wants to go again, this is the one. Seven days of rides means you can do a run after dinner on more than one night.
- The deal: $28.13 per person for 7 days of unlimited rides (Groupon doesn’t show an original price); one person per Groupon
- Where: 386 Parkway, Gatlinburg
- Fine print: Voucher expires 90 days after purchase
- Ends: 90 days after purchase; check the price before you buy
Coupons · Pigeon Forge & Wears Valley Road
Two mountain coasters and indoor snow tubing
We treat a coaster as a 30-to-60-minute stop on the way home, not a day. Here are this week’s three.
- Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster (Groupon): 2 tickets for $26 (regularly $36) at 867 Wears Valley Rd, on the way to and from Bear Mountain View. No reservation needed; the voucher expires 120 days after purchase. Still live this week

Food · Pigeon Forge · closest to The Bear Club
Corky’s Ribs & BBQ: $5 off a $25 food purchase
Feeding 10 adds up fast. A BBQ platter night is an easy one for a big table, and this takes a little off the bill.
- The deal: $5 off a $25 food purchase with the Passport to Savings coupon
- How: Show the mobile coupon when you pay
- Ends: December 31, 2026 (Passport validity)
Sweet stop: Cinnaholic, Pigeon Forge
The Cinnaholic at Mountain Mile (2655 Teaster Lane, Suite 220) runs its offers through its app, so check the Cinnaholic app for current offers before you go (Pigeon Forge store page).
Duster’s tip: zip first, pancakes second 🐻
“The zipline Groupon only works on the 10 a.m. tour, so set an alarm. Zip, then pancakes. Then the coaster on the way home. That’s a whole bear day.”
Checked as of November 1, 2026: Passport to Savings coupons from the City of Pigeon Forge’s 2026 coupon book (valid through December 31, 2026); Ripley’s Aquarium price from Visit My Smokies’ booking page; Groupon prices are the regular Groupon prices we saw (not sale-code prices); Stampede Christmas show dates from the Stampede’s site; Rocky Top hours from its site. 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 coming for Thanksgiving, our Thanksgiving week day-by-day plan pairs well with this list, and the Alpine Coaster fits right into our Wears Valley adventure day. Missed last week’s list? Here it is (some of those coupons run through December).
