About
The Outdoor Gravity Park is home to the iconic New Zealand adventure, zorbing. Don't miss out on the opportunity to go zorbing! You can fly 6000 miles to New Zealand, or you could just come to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The OGO (giant ball) is 11 feet high, 11 feet wide, and bouncy and sits perched at the top of a 1,000-foot hill. In a moment, you will go rolling towards the bottom, slip & sliding, no tumbling - but only after a couple of things happen. First, one to three people dive into the sphere's belly. Then, some of the park's attendants toss ten gallons of water into this signature attraction, and finally close the door. The water makes for a slippery ride, though one without tumbling -- your fast and adrenaline-packed descent down our 1000 foot hill is more akin to a bouncy water slide or a rolling Jacuzzi. Bring your swimsuit and towel and come join us as we are open rain or shine. Don't forget to book your tickets online to reserve your spot!

    Awesomeness!
    What an awesome experience for our teenagers! Staff was all friendly and great service. Recommending for anyone that likes water slides. Traveled from Wisconsin to do this and spent the weekend in the great city of Pigeon Forge.

    Best new experience
    Such a different type of experience that I would do again. I was worried about my husbands back but inside the ball you stay very level and safe. I would recommend getting the go pro it is so cool to see your trip after.

    Worth every bit.
    You will definitely need a reservation . But in our experience it didn't seem like it mattered what time your reservation was for. It's a fast ride so you might consider taking more than one. My kids was so fast on the one that goes back and forth that the first ride they didn't know what was going on.

    A great time on a rainy day!
    Went on a big family outing and we had a blast, adults and kids all took turns with rolls. Be prepared to want to go down a second time, but twice is all we needed. It rained, but it didn't slow us down, and the family who didn't roll were able to watch under umbrellas at the picnic tables on the landing. The staff was outstanding, so happy we went!

    One of a kind experience!!
    This was a fabulous experience and one you should make time for. Reserve in advance as the times fill up fast. Our entire family, parents and children (age 9, 15, 19) had a blast. The workers are very kind and helpful and the experience is one you can't find anywhere else. 100 percent recommend this place!!

    HIGHLIGHT of our trip!!!
    This was the unexpected winner. The attraction that caught be by surprise. We went with our two teens and we all LOVED it. We even bought more rolls. I didn’t want it to be over! I went on the red hill with my two teens together at the end and it was exhilarating and hilarious!! Wear a swimsuit. Plan for fun. Enjoy the ride. So excited to do this again next time we visit, as it’s currently the only place in the US to do Zorbing!!

We had such a good time. If you want something fun do this. My friend and I much have watched our video 100 times. It is so funny. The staff was great. Warm and friendly. I would do it again in a heart beat. Cost was far.

We planned out our visit online and planned to get tickets online, but instead of buying online we wanted to use our $5 off coupon that we had from this link (OMITTED) (I took a screenshot of this in case they tried to take it down)

So, we drove a good 30 mins+ to get there. We arrived about 30 mins before they closed, at 2:30pm ET. I told them I needed 3 tickets, but I'm going to pay for 1 adult and 1 child and that my father-in-law was going to pay for the other child. I told her that I had a $5 off coupon to use which was off each ticket per the coupon. They immediately told me that their management told them NOT to honor ANY of the $5 off coupons but they could offer a FREE GoPro video. I told them we brought our own GoPro and I wanted the $5 off each ticket. They told me that they couldn't do that and then after requesting a manager, they said they could take $5 off one ticket but that was the best that they could do. I said that was fine, because the price was just $44 online, so $5 off that price would be just $39 for 2 rides. So she said one was $20 and the other one would be $25. She told me that my total was $78.47! I was taken back and told her that there must be some sort of mistake. She said there was no mistake and that she was only charging me $20 for one ride and $25 for the other one. Well still, that's only $45 so how in the world did we get to $78.47 from $45? So you are telling me that there is $33.47 in tax on 2 tickets priced at what should be $45? She said there was no mistake and I told her that I will gladly go spend my money elsewhere and I was not paying nearly $80 for 2 rides. That's DOUBLE the price then what is advertised online! I found tickets at Tripster for just $18-19 per ride here: (OMITTED) and here: (OMITTED)! Then I found tickets for just $44 for 2 rides or $22 for 1 ride (before the $5 off coupon) from here: (OMITTED)

If you look on the page I just posted for the $22 & $44 rides.. You'll see that they are advertising 2 different prices and they actually are telling you that the pricing is $20 if you book online but they are making you pay $22. You can see where I highlighted that here: (OMITTED)

Furthermore, you should be able to use the $5 off coupon that they are advertising online, so you technically should be able to get the tickets for just $15 per person, per roll. BUT, they won't honor this at all and they want you to pay $25 for a ride and won't take any coupons or honor any other pricing available, even though they are advertising various prices through various sites. Stay away from this place! Very shady & bad business practices! Don't fall victim to this scamming from Outdoor Gravity Park. The owners and the management don't care about you or your family, they don't want to talk to you or discuss this with you under any circumstances and are telling their staff to tell you that no managers are available and we are unable to contact our managers or whatever other excuse they come up with. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR BUSINESS! STAY AWAY! I believe the girl whom I dealt with was Megan or something like that if I remember correctly. She said she was new and she had only been there a couple of weeks or a month or so. She had a story and she said her management team told her not to honor any special pricing or accept any coupons. In other words, they rather get in trouble and have ethics violations for false advertising than to honor what they are advertising in their bait and switch scam!

They did not want to honor ANY discounted online pricing NOR did they want to honor ANY coupons! They refused to get me a manager when I asked for one and said that there was nothing that a manager could do either. They rather just loose the business than discount their pricing. Sooo... let's show them that we mean business and we rather not go there than to give them our business and fall victim to their scam! I will also be reporting them to the BBB for this as well. They are false advertising with their coupons and discounted pricing and then doing a bait and switch when you get there and telling you that you can't have any discounted pricing or use any coupons! They ARE being reported to the appropriate channels... BBB and Dept of Commerce TN.

I told her that I was paying for 2 rides and she proceeded to tell me that the total was $78.47! So... if they are offering tickets for $18, $19, $22 or even $25/each, then how do we get from $36, 38, $44 or even $50 for 2 tickets all the way up to nearly $80? A TOTAL SCAM IF YOU ASK ME! THEY WERE TRYING TO SCAM ME! LUCKILY, I told them I was going to spend my money elsewhere and I did! Instead I took my kids to The Track, Mountain Top Coaster & Rowdy Bear Park cheaper than what I would have paid for just 2 zorbing tickets AND we had more fun!

I would highly suggest that you stay away from Outdoor Gravity Park as there are MANY bad reviews that the value is not worth what you pay for the super quick ride. You can have way more fun going downtown Pigeon Forge and doing other attractions with your family and kids! DO NOT DO THIS ATTRACTION. THEY WILL TRY TO SCAM YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED AND THIS IS MINE AND MY FAMILIES STORY. I wouldn't have sat down and written all of this and wasted my time if this were not true. Save your self the long drive to this park in the middle of nowhere and don't fall victim to a scam like I almost did!

If something like this happened to you and they are not honoring these prices for you as I shared... please post online here about them so other people are warned! Don't take your business here!

You will definitely need a reservation . But in our experience it didn't seem like it mattered what time your reservation was for. It's a fast ride so you might consider taking more than one. My kids was so fast on the one that goes back and forth that the first ride they didn't know what was going on.

My wife and I had previously experienced zorbing where it originated in New Zealand and were excited to discover it was available more locally to share with our extended family. Unfortunately, we picked a day where it started to storm in the middle of our session and we did not get to finish. But the staff was very friendly, pleasant and quick about refunding us. And the one run we did complete was fantastic fun for everyone! The kids especially were so excited! They raved about it all day. This is definitely something worth trying if you are in the area! And well worth the price! But be prepared to wait... a lot!! The only reason I won't give five stars on this review is because of the inexcusably-long delays. We waited nearly 90 minutes in a line for the bus to get up the hill for a 60-second ride back down. This company is 100% in complete control of how many spots they make available for each session. They could and should schedule fewer people to reduce the excessive wait times. We only paid for two runs per person. By the time the storms came, we had already been there (including check-in) for nearly 2.5 hours and we were still about fifty people back in the bus line for our second run. It only takes 1 minute to get down the hill. If you can't get do it twice in 150+ minutes then the place is too crowded!

Please know that we continuously strive to improve our communication and operations to minimize wait times and enhance the overall guest experience. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging situation. We value your feedback and take it seriously as we work towards providing the best possible experience for all our guests.
