The Dixie Stampede Dinner & Show is one of the most iconic attractions in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (it’s also popular in Branson, Missouri); be sure to purchase tickets in plenty of advance. Dinner includes plentiful portions of comfort food, and guests can expect to hear country music and learn about the region’s history. The special effects are fun, too. Afterward, purchase a souvenir in the gift shop.

Show times vary; the venue is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
