The upside-down house is gearing up to celebrate two decades of inspiring imagination, discovery, and unforgettable memories
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (June 30, 2025) – When WonderWorks Pigeon Forge opened its doors on June 8, 2006, they envisioned being a place that locals and tourists would enjoy for years to come. Entering their 20th year of providing nonstop “edu-tainment” for guests of all ages, they have surpassed those expectations, landing a spot as a top provider of educational fun in the Pigeon Forge area. The iconic upside-down attraction is reminiscing about their history and looking ahead at all the great things still to come as they reach this new milestone.
“It’s hard to believe we’re coming up on two decades of wonder!” said Joe Baumgartner, general manager at WonderWorks Pigeon Forge. “Thank you to all who have visited us over the years. Planning for next year’s 20th birthday bash has already begun!”
Since opening in 2006, WonderWorks Pigeon Forge has provided millions of guests with countless hours of educational fun, memory-making, and more. Over the years, a wide variety of fun activities have given people a chance to get up close and personal with STEAM topics, learn new things, and make learning fun so that it is more engaging and memorable. WonderWorks has also upheld their mission to give back to the community through countless fundraisers, service appreciation deals, and giveaways.
In the year ahead, many guest-favorite programs will return, including National STEM Day, local appreciation specials, teacher open house weekends, the SMART student art contest, and more. WonderWorks also continues to work closely with teachers and local homeschool groups, helping them provide students with a meaningful field trip experience that allows students to learn more about topics they are exploring in school. These field trips and other educational programs introduce thousands of students to STEM-based concepts and careers by providing unique opportunities to learn about them.
