About Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Supper Show
Two families, a pile of logs and an all-you-can-eat Southern supper. Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud Supper Show is the lumberjack competition dinner show on the Pigeon Forge Parkway at 2530, and it is a crowd-pleaser for families who like to yell for a team.
The competition
The show is a family-friendly contest between the Dawson and McGraw families. It mixes timbersports, comedy, stunts and plenty of crowd participation, so you are part of the rivalry rather than just watching it. After the show, guests can meet the lumberjacks and take photos, which gives kids a natural finale.
The venue is an open arena with ceiling fans, and a guest review on the official page says anywhere you sit there is a good view. That is one reviewer's experience, but the arena layout is simple enough that you should not worry much about a bad seat.
Dinner
An all-you-can-eat Southern supper buffet is served before the show, and dinner is part of your ticket. Plan to arrive hungry and early. The official site does not itemize the menu, so call ahead if you or someone in your group has a dietary need.
Tickets and bundles
Individual show prices are not listed on the main page, but several bundles are. The site lists a Mini Golf Park Bundle at $34.99, a Mini Golf plus Slick City bundle at $54.99, a Dinner Show plus Mini Golf bundle at $69.99 that includes a one-time show ticket, and an Ultimate Adventure Pass at $89.99. The Park Hopper Pass gives 14 days of unlimited access to Toy Box Mini Golf, Crave Golf Club and Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay. Prices change, so confirm on the official tickets page before you buy.
Schedule
The show runs year-round, though showtimes are not posted on the main page. Check the Tickets page for current times. The site also advertises a seasonal Jack-tober Fest from September 19 to October 31, so if you are visiting in the fall expect some seasonal programming around the park. For questions, call 865-366-3330.
Planning tips
The bundles are the smart way to make an afternoon out of this stop. Play a round of mini golf in the daytime, then settle in for supper and the show, and you have covered most of a day in one spot. That bundle logic also helps with budgeting, since you can see the combined price up front.
Behind the arena at Lumberjack Square you will find the Evanswood Magic Theater, which makes an easy second show on another night of your trip. For families deciding between Pigeon Forge dinner shows, this is the pick for kids who like physical competition, chopping and climbing, and for adults who enjoy a big, loud and friendly crowd. The official site has more detail on the show and bundles.
