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. Visitors are guided through well-lit pathways showcasing stalactites, stalagmites, natural chimneys, and underground streams formed over thousands of years.

The caverns stay at a comfortable 58°F (14°C) year-round, making it a perfect escape from summer heat or rainy weather. Along the way, you’ll learn about the cave's rich history, from Native American use to early 20th-century moonshine production.
