Nerf Action Experience – Not Dead? Facility Coming to Tennessee After All!

After plans for a joint Nerf/Crayola entertainment venue fell through in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, Nerf Action Experience appeared to be dead. However, that’s not quite the case.

After some retooling, the new developers have partnered with Hasbro to create a Play District featuring everything from Nerf to Peppa Pig to Transformers. The Nerf part features plenty of activities (how many involve actual dart blasting is unclear). Given the sheer number of families that vacation in the Smoky Mountains every year, some kind of development was bound to happen. It’s nice to hear the original idea isn’t completely dead – I enjoyed swinging through the Nerf Action Experience when I was on vacation in Great Britain, and that’s also gone, too.
