Arcade City Pigeon Forge

Arcade City Pigeon Forge is the larger-format Face Amusement Group arcade on the Parkway — more square footage, more game variety, and a selection that extends more meaningfully toward the teen and tween audience than the company's smaller Big Top location.

The game mix includes the standard redemption games (skee-ball, basketball, prize dispensers) that drive the ticket-economy fun for younger kids, alongside racing simulators, first-person shooter games, and rhythm games that older players specifically seek out. This range makes Arcade City one of the few Pigeon Forge arcade experiences where a 7-year-old and a 15-year-old in the same family both find exactly what they want without compromise.

Racing simulators are the centerpiece for the older crowd. Full-cabinet racing games with force-feedback steering wheels, pedals, and a competitive leaderboard — this is what teens who've been dragged to one too many family attractions finally get to choose on their own terms. Budget extra tokens and time for this section.

The card-based system (as opposed to tokens) is standard in modern arcades: load a card, swipe at each game, accumulate tickets for prizes. The card format makes it easier to budget since you can see remaining balance at a glance.

As a rainy day option, this ranks well — indoor, self-paced, broad appeal. The Face Amusement combo with 7D Dark Ride is worth evaluating if you're planning to visit both on the same trip.
