An underground adventure through ancient rock formations and crystal-clear grottos.
Located in Sevierville, Tennessee, just a short drive from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Forbidden Caverns offers a fascinating underground journey into one of the most spectacular cave systems in the Smoky Mountain region.
