Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum Attraction Christmas Decorations

November 30, 2012 By Lindsay 1 Comment

As you know, I love it when I get to feature the Titanic Museum Attraction. It seems like they are always coming up with something new to display that makes me want to go back and visit. Just in time for holiday season, the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge has been decorated for Christmas! That’s right, they have put up greenery, lights, and Christmas trees around the museum! I was able to take a tour of the newly decorated attraction a week ago and was very pleased with it.

Titanic Museum Attraction Christmas

For starters, the outside of the ship is decorated. The light poles have ribbon bows and greenery wrapped around them. Then, there are wreaths on the outside of the museum. Additionally, there is the huge pile of gift boxes (pictured above) outside in front of the bow of the ship. It is perfect for taking pictures with. There’s even a little spot for you to sit down and do so. I love that the packages even say “Titanic” on them so you know where you were when you took the picture.

Christmas Inside the Ship

The inside of the museum is decked-out, too. They have strategically placed decor around the museum so that you are reminded that it’s almost Christmas without it being over the top. For instance, my boyfriend liked that the bags of mail had bows on them. He suggested that kids had written letters to Santa that were being mailed. Additionally, the suites are decorated, too. The second class passenger room had some neat little things while the first class suite had a full size Christmas tree in it.

They also managed to make the grand staircase look even more beautiful. There are two Christmas trees at the bottom of it. Then, there’s pretty greenery and red bows on the staircase. This also means that when you have your picture taken, the background of the grand staircase includes the pretty Christmas scenery. It’s a really nice touch to complete the overall Christmas takeover of the museum.

Vising the museum was the perfect way to kick-off the holiday season. All of the pretty decor definitely helped get me into a more cheery mood. Now, I want to decorate my home for the holidays. So, will you be visiting the Titanic Museum Attraction this holiday season?

Titanic Museum Attraction 100 Years Anniversary Giveaway

March 16, 2012 By Lindsay 46 Comments

It’s no surprise, that I love visiting the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge. I mean I’ve been lucky enough to visit a couple of times and post a couple of Titanic Museum reviews. So, when I was offered the opportunity to tell you about the Titanic Museum Attraction 100th Anniversary Tribute Event going on at the museum (and host a giveaway), I jumped on it.

Both of the Titanic Museums in Pigeon Forge and Branson are hosting a Titanic Tribute Event on Saturday, April 14th at 8:30 pm. These are the only 2 places in the United States where guests can attend a tribute event. It is called “A Night to Remember: An Original Musical Tribute to Titanic,” and it will feature musical performances, historic ceremonies and appearances by actual descendants of Titanic’s passengers and crew! Wow! Won’t that be a lovely event and tribute to those who were on the ship? Oh, and in case you were wondering, April 14th is the 100th anniversary of the night the ship hit the iceberg. So, the tribute will have some real meaning to it.

I’m actually going to be receiving passes to the event. However, one lucky reader will win a family pack of tickets to the museum to visit during the 100th year anniversary. The tickets will be good until August 31, 2012 with one day they can’t be used: April 14th. So, 2 adults and up to 4 kids can visit the museum with these passes.

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED!

Disclosure: The prize tickets are being provided by the Titanic Museum Attraction. Also, I will be receiving free VIP tickets to the tribute event at the museum for hosting this giveaway. The opinions expressed are my own.

Titanic Museum Audio Tour Review

June 15, 2011 By Lindsay 8 Comments

A year ago, I went to the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge and did 3 separate Titanic Pigeon Forge Reviews posts on it. Well, this past weekend, I was lucky enough to make a return trip to the museum with my mother to witness their new audio tour!

The Titanic Pigeon Forge Audio Tour is pretty cool. For an additional $6 (or 2 for $10), you receive a cool personal handheld speaker device. The device has numbers as well as volume controls. There is an adult and youth version of the audio. Around the museum they have several plaques up which have numbers on them. You simply enter this number into your handheld device and press the green button to hear about this part of the museum. The cool thing about this is that you can hear either the adult and/or the youth’s version since both are stored on the device.

I really enjoyed the added audio. It means you can get additional information not written up in front of you. Plus, the extremely cool thing is that some of the audio is from interviews with actual Titanic survivors from years ago. So, you can get the facts, plus the experience from the people who were there! I thought that was so neat!

My mother and I tried to listen to both formats of the audio. The youth’s was a little more exciting/fun than the serious adult. However, they are both good. I liked that you can control the volume and you hold up to your own ear. That makes the experience more personal. I definitely think the audio adds something to the experience of the museum.

My mother really liked the museum, as this was her first time seeing it. It was a nice experience that is wonderful for the whole family. As you know from my previous posts, there is something for everyone at the museum. The addition of the audio just makes it even more open for the whole family. Plus, it’s a nice place away from the heat of the day. Haha!

You can keep up with all of the new additions and events at the museum by liking the Titanic Museum on Facebook and following TitanicUSA on Twitter. Additionally, you can text TITANIC to 62447 to receive event information or text ICEBERG to 62447 to receive a discount in the gift shop! 😀
