Best Time to Visit

Escape rooms typically cost $30-40 per person depending on the room and time selected. Free parking is available at The Island complex. No outside food is allowed in the rooms, but The Island has numerous dining options steps away.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round with consistent hours (8:00 AM - midnight daily). Indoor attraction makes it perfect for rainy days or extreme heat. Book extra early during spring break, summer vacation (June-August), and the weeks between Christmas and New Year's when Pigeon Forge sees peak tourism.
