Shane went above and beyond to make sure everyone was buckled in properly. As the kids waved, he waved back and acknowledged them which made them super happy! He was just an awesome employee who actually put care and effort into making sure everything was top quality. We went to the supervisor and bragged on Shane I hope he gets some kind of reward for being a great employee.Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Rebecca. We're delighted to hear that the kids had an excellent time, and we're especially thrilled to hear about Shane's outstanding efforts at the go-carts.

- Jim H4 contributionsRockin redeemed itselfWe were there for jeep invasion this coming weekend, and gave rocking another chance. The arcade was absolutely amazing. First off Rosie greeted us and helped us getting our cards and had so much info to help us decide, Emma helped a member of our group at the wonka machine. later Ryan helped us at the greeter stand reloading our cards, even saw Ryan use a translator on a phone to help a Hispanic couple explaining how the cards work. Then came the best part at redemption we were helped by A kind gentleman named Steve who may have been new I am guessing he would ask Rosie for a little help. But he was a very nice man. I was very pleased and will Definitely come back.Jim, thank you so much for giving Rocking a chance. We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience at the arcade. It's wonderful to hear about the exceptional service provided by Rosie, Emma, Ryan, and Steve. We are so glad that they were able to assist you and make your visit memorable.

First, we went to Big Top Arcade and I was disappointed by how small it was, so we went to Rocking Raceway Arcade instead. MUCH bigger. I would recommend this arcade or Arcade City right outside of the Island, Pigeon Forge. They look identical so it’s easy to confuse the 2. Now with any arcade, you spend a lot of money for very cheap prizes. We spent $100 and won 7,300 tickets and the best prize available was a toy gun with 6 bullets for 7,000 tickets. So a $10 prize at best for $100 worth of play time. If you just want to play fun games and don’t care about prizes this arcade is great. I’m putting 4 stars only because of the prize selection. In theory you would need to spend probably $500 to get a $60 prize. Our kids (ages 3 and 8) loved it though and enjoyed the games, we spent 2 hours just playing games. You get $145 of play value for $100. If you plan on spending a significant amount of time there I would recommend the $100 play card, it is the best value and it took the full 2 hours to use the $145 play card split up on to 2 cards.

Rockin’ Raceway Arcade is hands-down, the best arcade in pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We stop here every time we make a trip to pigeon Forge. It has the best selection of games and prizes, the best prices, the games are always working as they should, you’re never cheated out of tickets, and sometimes on certain games you can win double or triple the amount of tickets. We bought two $50 game cards and it lasted us about two hours. Out of our 5 day vacation we stopped here 2 or 3 times because we like it so well. Also, Steve, the guy who checked us out and helped pick out our prizes, was incredibly kind and patient as we had 50,000 tickets and were splitting them between multiple kids. He was happy and cheerful and definitely made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this arcade out!
Pictured is all the tickets we won playing the Willy Wonka game trying to get the golden ticket. If you win all the cards and the golden ticket, you get 15,000 tickets and I wasn’t leaving until we got it 🤣🤣 we had a blast!

It smelled nice in here most of the arcades on the strip smell like urine & sweat but not this one I know such a strange thing to say. I will say though it was a little on the pricey side when most the games cost quite a bit I would maybe suggest a bundle deal especially for families with more then 1-2 children. All of the games were working though didn’t have any problems with that or taking money it never did that. My kids won a lot of stuff out of the claw machines & enjoyed themselves.

With so many other options, I will never go back. The go carts opened 15 minutes late and the VR was more than an hour. No one told me they had different hours while making the purchase and the the two women up front got an attitude when I asked when the VR would be available (twenty minutes after I was told it was going to open). I spent about $180 and left without doing VR and go carts because we were done with being treated with unnecessary disrespect.

Been coming here several times a year for several yrs . Bought a Groupon as always use to save money waited like 10-15 minutes for assistance before hateful lady came to counter she was probably mad cause I complained about the wait . She refused to issue a go kart / arcade card unless I showed drivers license which I have never in 6 yrs been asked for . My license where left at home and my husband doesn’t have license due to health issues so we had to leave my crying kids not understanding why they couldn’t ride as they always do went down street to lazerport and rode without question . Will not return and no can’t get money back from Groupon once I print voucher off

Arcade
They had a sweet deal, $200 of credits for $100. The kids had fun. Lots of games from new school arcade stuff and old school arcade stuff. The prizes are cheap dollar store stuff but that’s to be expected. The staff was helpful. All the games worked as they should. Only complaint, there is really no place for adults who aren’t playing to set down and there are no food or refreshments.
Raceway
Kids said it was okay. We did the 3 races for one price. The kids said that some of the carts were slower than others. Seems a little outdated. Some of the carts broke down while we were there. Don’t use the vending machine, charged us $4 and $6 for what we’re supposed to be $2 cokes.

We had a great experience with Chris tonight when my son was redeeming his points! He turned a “don’t have enough points” experience for my 4 year old around. Chris’s customer service skills went over and beyond any service that I have received at Rockin’ Raceway in the last 15 years. By the way-it’s also Chris’ birthday!!!

After we ate breakfast my daughter saw this place and want to check it out and I said ok. Everything was ok when the machine starts giving us problems the claw where you drop the roll of ticket if you drop it and it push it to the hole you will get that roll I didn’t get that so it happen twice and did not get both. Move to a different one which my whole family was their playing the wizard of oz that you will drop the green/ red chips and the card. Some red and green chips drop but never get it. I asked the lady I should’ve get her name and told her the situation and with her grouchy expression on her face she told me that all silver coins doesn’t come out and I told her a lot of times not talking about the silver coins I’m talking about the green and red chips instead of checking the machine she went at the front and start talking to another employee with the same face as hers who know what she’s saying to him… move on my kids want to play the VR and so I paid for it and the same guy that the lady was talking helped us but I don’t know about this people working for y’all but they seem looked that they don’t like their job. They did not talked or even make my kids understand why they’re doing that for. Just put on the gear and let them do their thing. I told my kids that we are leaving because you can’t get any friendly faces here. Finally before we left there was a different lady at the front told us have a great day and thanks for coming.

They have a full vr set up with movement. Omni arena is awesome. Was sad it was closed but they are opening it back up this Saturday. The staff was awesome and we helped with a test run; shout out to Billy! Well worth the money. Prices on other arcade games are similar to other arcades ($1.00 for most games, same card packages) but they have a lot more games and the didnt have any down that I saw, versus other arcades that all seem to have at least a few not working.

We visit multiple times a year. The Arcade is always presented clean, games are working, and friendly staff. I personally work in an arcade in my hometown and this arcade rocks compared to most in the area in terms of speedy service. Prizes could be improved with a widely selection especially some more high end prizes like Game Consoles, etc. But overall worth a stop while in pigeon forge. The Go Karts are pretty sweet as well!
