New Attraction in Pigeon Forge Tennessee - Xperia Ocean Journey


 On Monday, August, 5, 2025 I had the opportunity to visit a brand new attraction in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. This attraction is Xperia Ocean Journey, this is a state of the art attraction that uses high quality screens and visual effects to bring you into the city cans of the world and the sea creatures that inhabit it. This attraction is located at the Tanger Outlets shopping area in Sevierville Tennessee. 

The attraction can be experienced by adults and kids alike, and the duration of the experience can be from 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Since this attraction is different from an aquarium with live animals, Xperia Ocean Journey brings a Sea Turtle named Banjo to life through high quality immersive screen technology as well as other sea creatures such as squids, killer whales, sea lions, sting rays, and more through the use of screens and digital technology. Xperia Ocean Journey uses this digital technology as a safe way to learn about the worlds oceans and the sea creatures that live in it, while an aquarium has live animals that can be frightened if the guest does something that may cause a sea creature to react or by someone simply touching the sea creature when it’s not allowed. Xperia Ocean Journey is also an interactive attraction that offers family friendly games for kids and adults to enjoy as well as interactive relents such as bringing a sea lion to life and you having to be in the shoes of a sea lion trainer. Other interactive elements include fun digital games that kids and adults alike can play, as well as the way to be a sea lion trainer through the use case f the digital technology that Xperia uses in the attraction to bring sea lions in front of you in which you can bring out your inner sea lion trainer instead of having real sea lions at the attraction. 


If you’re interested in learning more about Xperia Ocean Journey you can see my interview I had with Andi who is in charge of group sales at the attraction. Interview link is below:
