Are you looking for something free and definitely unique to do?
Then head over to Country Barn Gift Shop. They are located at 2869 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, TN, right beside Three Bears General Store.
They have the first outdoor Selfie Park in the United States. Also, it’s FREE! They created this fun place you can let the kids run around pose with all kinds of fun murals, an Elvis statue, painted lawn mowers, bear statues, a red headed man wood carving and around 15 wall murals. Most of them are murals you can stick your head in.
Just go into the Gift shop and when you start heading towards the back you will see a door clearly marked for their outdoor selfie park. They have signs EVERYWHERE. The employees kept encouraging us to go out there and have fun. I am so glad they did because I felt silly going in there and not buying anything.
We spent close to 30 mins if not more out there exploring. My kids are 3 and 5 and didn’t want to leave. They loved the painted lawn mowers. They do have a donation box at the exit if you would like to make a donation to the artists. This is something you can stop to do when needing let the kid burn off some energy. It is fenced in and can only be accessed from the store.
They did have a few full lenght wall murals that you could pose your family in front of. I guarantee you won’t have Smoky Mountain photos like anyone else. These will make great shots to put on Instagram or anywhere on social media. You will be laughing and cracking up at your family and friends with what they will come up with.
