There are actually three museums in one location. The Life of Jesus is told in a 360 degree panorama. The Shroud of Turin is very interesting and informative. We started in the Hall of Fame Gospel Singers rooms...displayed well. Ordered tickets online with ease and service on property was no problem. The building and location were convenient, clean and nice bathroom.

Price is way too high for what you're getting (more later). Can justify the $55ish you pay. 2. Food is traditional southern food. Sits heavy and fatty. Baked potatoes, sad-looking fried chicken tenders, pot roast, pulled pork, broccoli, corn, mac 'n cheese, wild rice, turnovers for dessert. Honestly not great but it is all you can eat. 3. The worship show was nice! About 45min while you eat. The main guy is a pastor at a new church out of Pigeon Forge high school and that is pushed on you a lot during the service. Musicians were definitely talented. 4. Show was meh at best. Went to see the Prodigal Son, a great story. Acting was not the best and most of the visuals were holograms. 5. Seats were old and a bit lumpy and not comfortable. 6. Theater itself was dirty. Napkins and straw wrappers on the ground, etc. 7. Waitress comes around with drinks (water, sweet/unsweet tea, lemonade). Not much to do pre-show either. The Southern Gospel Music exhibit right in the main lobby is interesting for 5-10min and there are random souvenirs around. Cafe for coffee, sodas was closed (July 3rd). Great idea but a bit misfired.

But this place is a Local Hit! I recommend getting there right at 7pm or a bit earlier because this place fills up fast, especially if you are doing a holiday Triple-Feature. Feel free to bring your own food! No grills. They have a concessions with burgers and hotdogs and ice cream and refreshments at great prices. Nice burgers under $5!! But remember you can bring your own! People bring coolers full of whatever they want or bring in fast food or pizza. I just love that you can bring your own food & drink. Sound for the films come through your car stereo. Sound quality is pretty decent. Film quality is a lot better than I expected. They must have a high quality projector. We saw Xmen:DoFP & Rio2 and it was really clean quality. Honestly I have no complaints of this facility and WILL BE RETURNING! 5 STARS!

I booked a seat at the concert of Graham Nash, which I was looking forward to. Alas, I am having foot surgery about 2 weeks before the concert. The Bijou has a ZERO refund policy, I called to find out what I could do. Ticketmaster would not let me sell the ticket online because of this policy. I talked to a sweet young lady who said she would see what she could do. Not an hour later, she called me back with the good news. Because this was not an issue I had any control over, being confined to my home for the recuperating period, they granted me the refund for my ticket! I cannot believe the generosity of this venue. They went above and beyond the capabilities of their policy to grant me the refund. so, THANK YOU BIJOU!

I really wanted to love Pink Cactus because the concept is so fun and unique. Karaoke rooms in an…read moreold two-story house is something we don't have anywhere else around here, and I think there is a LOT of potential. Unfortunately, the execution just wasn't there for us. When we arrived, the bartender took us upstairs to our room. It would have made much more sense to have someone actually take our drink order at the bar so we could bring drinks upstairs, because once we got to the room, everything had to be ordered through a QR code. Even then, the bartenders weren't paying much attention to the incoming orders, so we eventually had to go back downstairs to let them know we had ordered drinks. The drinks themselves were fine, but definitely on the sweet side. We also ordered a flatbread, which unfortunately wasn't very good, and it came out only about five minutes before our hour in the room was up. And that brings me to my biggest issue: one hour is simply not enough time for karaoke. You have to search for every song yourself using a remote and YouTube, which takes quite a bit of time between songs. There's no song queue/deck where you can load up several songs ahead of time. By the time we figured everything out, we only got to sing about five songs before being told it was our last song and our hour was up. The staff was very strict about the one-hour cutoff. The entire place was also freezing. When we went downstairs to close out, one of the bartenders was sitting at the bar eating food she had brought from home in a Tupperware container, which just didn't give the best impression. I genuinely love the idea of Pink Cactus and would love to see it succeed, but right now it feels like a great concept that needs a lot of work in the execution. Add in how difficult parking is in that area right now, and I'd probably choose Knox Box for karaoke instead. I hope they work out the kinks because there's definitely something here. The concept is too good not to.

The decor is colorful and quirky and we love that they loudly share their love of kindness and equality through some of their signage and decor choices. With this being a newer business, we will give them a pass on some of the growing pains, but there were a few parts of our experience that were not ideal. 1. We had no idea where to park, especially with construction out front. Signage would be helpful. 2. We had no idea where to go and check in for our designated 9 pm karaoke reservation. Again...signage, please. 3. After getting drinks at the bar, it was 9 pm and they said they were kicking out the last group and getting our room ready. 9:15 rolls around and we are still waiting. They give us free birthday shots (yay!) to ease the pain. by 9:30, we still aren't in our space and they haven't had the previous group leave. We had already paid for our room but had to be home by 10:15 for our babysitter to leave. By the time we got in our room, we could only sing 3 songs before we had to take off. Bummer. We would like to come back and support local, fun businesses, however, they need far stricter reservation times for starting/stopping. This may impact when we come back, since we are usually on a tight schedule. Fun concept and location (the old Landing House location-a legit house in South Knox). If they iron out the kinks, this will be amazing.

Great Haunted House Fun!…read more This is a really great haunted house! We like it so much we drive 2 hours each way to go a few times in a night. We actually made it 7 times through the attraction last night! FYI: Get season passes you so you can go more than once AND enjoy the Christmas haunted house and other holiday haunted houses. I think it's 5-6 times a year! We opted for fast passes too since we like to go more than once! This crew does a really good job with some great actors putting in good effort and taking time outside for photo ops while you are waiting. Screw Hand: This "HOSTEL" movie style leather outfit with mask and screw arm found the right actor to wear it. He has a tattooed snake from arms across back. He is very interactive with everyone. Pickles: the scary guy with a shovel wins for creepiest creature outside in the lines he even has theatrical scary eyes and speaking shovel or shoes. He is pretty interactive stalking around and sneaking up to people in crowds. Carrot Fingers was cool outside walking around taking pictures. This creature stealthily roams the lines and doing photo ops. Pumpkin Girl: My son absolutely loves the pumpkin girl, she took the time to take multiple pictures with my son as he was so excited each time she came by. This creature really makes her rounds all over even at time dancing around. Outdoor Staff: everyone was great. People are friendly and fun. They really have a good crew of people who seem to be having fun. The Attorney: He is funny and gives you a funny intro liability waiver speech. Door Characters: Friendly and good story intros. They get you primed for your tour. Dr. Blinken: he is your entry point and does a great job being a mono toned robot like humanoid who brings you into the factory and decontaminates you. Red Eyes: He is one of the first characters. Red eyes and a hawk mask with a violin bow screeching on a metal thing. Girl in black on the bed with metallic ball fingers: She did a great job and our first time here she was the one who got me the best as I didn't see her at all until she burst out so fast. I laughed really good since I'm hard to scare! Good job! Caged Zombies: They are a cool section with 4-5 actors doing different noises and reaching through the bars. This was a favorite section for sure. NOT to miss mentioning the wild screaming girl right before who jumps out from behind a curtain. She is just before the zombies. That girl has a great scream! I don't know how she can do that great of a scream all night! I like the animatronics, the electrocuted man is a good one, zombie from the ceiling is also a good gotcha moment. The werewolves are cool, could be louder for a bigger fright but cool. The dollhouse pop out is a really good one. The pumpkin king is huge with a surprise animatronic also. The dragon is the scariest according to my son, he somehow thought it was real each time! There is a T-Rex style dinosaur too that's cool and surpassing! The sliding knees guy: this guy really gets you every time. He runs down the hall and slides on his knees when you turn the corner. That really takes some effort and a younger persons knees! The blonde cult leader girl: She was a cool and friendly section with funny comments. She was engaging and fun. The necromancer girl: She had a fun story and zombie she brings to life. She sends you on your way to be sacrificed. She was very interactive. The chainsaw guys: at the end are a great finale. We loved seeing how terrified people would get and cringe up as they searched for a way out of the foggy smoke. The insane asylum crazy person really does a realistic job. The bone sticking out of head guy: He got us good on one trip through. If I forgot to mention any others it's because I'm still tired and there is so much to remember! This is around a 30 minute tour or so. All in all a great job. It stinks some people made bad reviews about stuff that doesn't make sense. So I made a good review with real details. Hopefully some more people make some good and honest reviews since these guys deserve it.

My hubby and I are into real paranormal so we love a good fun haunted house to get our scare on too. We got there about 7:35 and we didn't get in till 8:25 so it was a long, LONG wait outside in the cold. Especially because each group of 2 or 4 was 5 minutes apart. I'd suggest that they add some heaters next year. But it was so worth the wait. I think we were inside for over 20 minutes. The decorations were superb and the actors were great. For $20 a person we really had a great date night. We'll definitely be back next year. It was awesome.
