DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY!!!! GO TO RIVER RATS. My family and I went there while on vacation for a family friendly river tubing. Their website bills this as safe for children and this is not what we experienced at all. We had children ages 3 to 12 on this trip and this was not for this age group. To begin we arrived to signed waivers, asked the clerk behind the counter if this was safe for young children to which they replied that it was a safe and calm "lazy river" experiences. Even the driver on the trip up to the beginning stated that "the hardest part of this is getting out of the parking lot". What we experienced should have had a disclaimer letting customers know this is a mild rapid river not what you would consider a "lazy river". My 6 year old daughter ended up getting stuck on rocks and separated from the rest of the group (not a scene any mother wants to see). My husband went back up river to help her and ended up coming down without a tube and then my brother in law had to swim to the middle of the river to get her out of the rocks. Several people including my daughter ended up being tossed out of their tube while going through the rapids without helmets!!! It was a horrifying experience but my issue is not that the river was more intense it was the fact that River Rage failed to inform their customers of the dangers of this section of river. River Rats was not allowing children younger than 12 on this section of the river because of its intensity especially because of the recent rainfall. River Rage should have informed its customers which route was appropriate for young children, even getting into the river was hairy without proper steps and no mention of needing proper footwear. BUYER BEWARE...DO THE RESEARCH ON THE REVIEWS AND THEN GO.

The only reason why i gave this one star is because i have to. First off even though its cheap and sounds fun its not. We came to pugeon forge in a group of 12, decided to get to this place. You have to sign a paper saying you take full responability for anything that happens well after we signed the papers the woman at the desk said only the slow river was open because the water level was up, we said okay and she told us where to go. We thought it would be fun but several uf not all of us almost drowned and the water was so choppy that none of us could stay on our floats. We didnt even get half way threw and we quit we were scared for our lifes. Mind you that all 12 if us got seperated we couldbt find each other and the bus driver to bring us from finish to start was rude and had a big attidude and was getting mad at us because we couldnt find 3 people of our group. We will never do this againand i really advise you not to do iit. They should have it posted that it is very dangerous and nobody under 18 years of age should be able to do this. All ybey have posted is you will get cuts and scrapes but it is far worse than that.
