Redefining Family Fun
Top Concepts
Top Concepts began its journey in the heart of Pigeon Forge with a bold mission: to create unforgettable “OMG Experiences” for families visiting the Smoky Mountains. Since its founding, the company has grown into a leading force in family entertainment, blending creativity, storytelling, and high-energy fun across a lineup of unique attractions. What started as a vision to reimagine how families vacation together has become a collection of must-visit destinations.
The adventure started with TopJump Trampoline & Extreme Arena, Pigeon Forge’s first trampoline park. Designed to get guests moving, bouncing, and climbing, TopJump quickly became a go-to for active families. With open jump zones, ninja courses, climbing walls, and a huge arcade, it set the tone for Top Concepts’ commitment to energetic, all-ages fun.
Building on that momentum, Crave Golf Club opened next, turning mini-golf into a candy-themed wonderland. With both indoor and rooftop courses, escape rooms, mini-bowling, and one of the region’s largest candy shops, Crave became a fan favorite and earned national recognition as the top mini-golf course in the country.
Next in the group’s portfolio, Paula Deen’s Lumberjack Feud Supper Show, a live-action, family-friendly competition where real lumberjacks battle it out in axe-throwing, log rolling, and more. Set in an open-air amphitheater, the show combines thrilling stunts with comedy and southern charm.
Soon after, Top Concepts introduced a new twist on childhood nostalgia with Toy Box Mini Golf. Here, guests putt through towering toys and playful obstacles across a vibrant 18-hole outdoor course. With a candy and toy store rounding out the experience, Toy Box became another hit with the young and young at heart.
In 2023, Top Concepts unveiled its most ambitious attraction yet—Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay. This groundbreaking indoor and outdoor mini-golf experience combines immersive storytelling, elaborate set design, live characters, and fantasy-driven theming to transport guests into a world of sky pirates and mermaids. As the first of its kind, it redefined what mini-golf could be. This solidified Top Concepts as an innovator in location based entertainment earning multiple awards including USA Today’s 10Best Awards as America’s Best New Attraction and Best Mini Golf in America in 2025 as well as a Brass Ring Nomination for Best LBE in the World from IAAPA.
