MagiQuest

Brought our daughter for her fourth birthday. I think mom had just as much or more fun than her. The staff, and can’t state this enough, was AMAZING!!! The young man who was there to provide guidance went well beyond his normal duties and made sure our daughter had a great time. I wish I could give the young man a raise because he certainly deserves it. I wish I knew his name so I could thank him again for taking care of us. Customer service is so important to me and this was some of the best.

We stopped by MagiQuest after the exterior caught our four year-old’s eyes. For $ 20 a person we did putt-​putt, a laser race, mirror maze (awesome!), and MagiQuest. We spent about three hours there– and could’ve done more. We are from Orlando, and $ 20 for an attraction is unheard of. I highly recommend this for kids four & up. Lots of fun– especially on a rainy or snowy day!

We love MAGIQUEST. And yes we are adults with no kids but nerds and gamers at heart. We are almost done with all our quests sadly all we have left is the Silver Dragon. We both have our wands better thay way to save the game stats abd play again. All the workers are so friendly and helpful. The bathrooms need atrention but other then that no complaints. If you kid loves Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or you are an adult how play D&D this is the place for you. Be ready to splurge you pay per person per hour and first time you buy wands as well. But worth it. The mirrormaze is pretty confusing and awesome but the black light mini golf sucked. We will visit again to finish our quest alas next year… til then silver dragon… til then.

My kids LOVED this place. It is conveniently located, so older children can be dropped off while Mom and Dad eat at one of the near by restaurants. One thing to keep in mind is that it is pricey. I’ve seen some of the reviews here find their prices to be very reasonable. So maybe my husband and I are cheap. Our children, ranging in age from 9 to 15 thoroughly enjoyed the game section with the wands. It took a couple of visits for them to defeat the dragon. Perhaps that is why we found it pricey. They were able to re use the same wands on the second visit.

What a great deal! We have small children (age 2, 4 and 6), so finding something we can all do together, that isn’t going to be impossible with a 2-​year-​old but will be fun enough for the older two, is a constant challenge. Plus, with young children, we never want to spend too much on something because we may or may not get the value out of it. MagiQuest met ALL our criteria.
You can pay up to $ 40 here for the all-​inclusive package that enables you to buy your own wand. We chose to just borrow wands, so spent $ 19.99 per person. Our 2-​year-​old got in free, but they still gave her a wand so she could «play,» too.
If you haven’t been to MagiQuest, here’s a little more information: the top level is like a «magical» scavenger hunt, where you get to choose individual quests, some more difficult than others. Each quest requires you to wander around and find treasures hidden around the complex. The easier levels require you to find things like a sword in a stone, which isn’t «hidden,» at all. A harder quest we did required first finding a secret room, interpreting the clues by the door that led us to find the «key,» then going back to the secret door, opening it and finding the treasure we’d originally been seeking. It was somewhat challenging for me, but DEFINITELY challenging for my 6-​year-​old.
The street-​level floor consists of three areas: a mirror maze, black light mini golf, and a laser game, where you have to duck under and climb over laser beams, as quickly as possible, to get across a little room. (Think «Mission: Impossible).
The kids loved the black-​light mini golf course. It was actually my 6-year-old’s favorite activity. We went mid-​morning, during a non-​peak time, which helped a ton. The adults could actually play the game, while the little ones explored, without us having to worry about them getting lost in a crowd. The holes themselves were pretty straight-​forward, so if you’re a mini golf aficionado, this probably isn’t for you. But we just wanted to have a bit of fun, so it was perfect for us.
Our whole family loved, loved, loved the mirror maze. Our 2-​year-​old thought it was absolutely fascinating! My husband loved the challenge of the laser beam room, but it was very short. He was through in less than a minute. But it was a little extra added fun.
The facility was clean and well-​maintained. We spent 2 – 3 hours there altogether, so the $ 20/​person seemed like a pretty good value, all things considered. I’d go again.

MagiQuest is basically 2 parts that are completely different. The top part is some sort of sorcerer Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Willow type stuff. Don’t know what Willow is, Google it. My little brother watched that crap 3 times of day back in 1991, it’s terrible. Basically they give you a wand, you point it at crap and then you are like Merlin in a Choose your own adventure book. My kids did this back in 2009 when they were 7 and 9 years old. They hated it and so did I. I guess we are just not into that sort of thing.
The bottom half is pretty cool. There is a laser maze called The Vault, There is a mirror maze called Odyssey and an 18 hole black light mini golf course. The Lazer maze is the fast 10 seconds of losing your money but the kids think it’s fun. The mirror maze is a blast. You can hear the kids screaming in delight as they navigate through the maze. The golf course is in the dark except for all the glow in the dark type stuff. It’s a lot of fun.
You can pay for each individual thing or get discounts if you buy a all 4 package or you can buy a 3 item package as we did for a cheaper price. Get a coupon brochure at a ton of places to save yourself a few bucks.

Our little (9yr old) guy’s favorite spot on our trip. It was a little confusing figuring out the necessarily equipment (wand) and plan to buy as a first timer, but once that is figured out, it was great fun for him. I think we had 90 minutes of time and it kept him literally running the whole time back and forth finding the clues. He tells everyone he meets what a great time he had there!

Don’t waste your money. Had a groupon for a 1 hour quest with a loaner wand. 4 of us and none of our wands worked consistently. Took it to one of the employees and he said «your problem is you have a loaner wand and they always have issues.» Money trap to make you purchase your own wand. Such a horrible experience that my 10 year old wanted to leave before out hour was even up. Would highly recommend the mirror maze. It’s one of the better ones I’ve been in.

I would love to give them more than one star because my son LOVES this golf place. We go every year but bad customer service and over priced.
I have 2 toddlers so needless to say we don’t really go «mini-​golfing» one was 1 and the other was 3. But my 3 year old loved the pirate golf.
They told me kids where free, my son only wanted to play. But we had to pay for an adult admission when that’s pretty much impossible with 2 toddlers. So we had to pay $ 12 for my son to play one round of golf! Absolutely ridiculous!
After our round of golf I said so how much does a child pay to play golf, I believe it was $ 7 she said. So why did we have to pay $ 12 for my 3 year old!?! The poor girl at the counter clearly was working with a full deck of cards and defended their «policies» and that because he was a toddler we need to pay for an adult. But if he was a year older we could have just paid $ 7. Makes no sense at all. We have spent a lot of money there in the past and it’s crazy they want to lose a good customer over such a small amount.
This has been a while back but I will definitely be talking to a manager and maybe updating my review.

It’s not cheap, but it was worth every penny to see my 3 year old, my 6 year old, my 60 year old mother, and my 54 year old handicapped uncle in a wheelchair all with huge smiles on their faces! The maze was fun and nice… even large enough to be handicapped/​wheelchair accessible and the Quest game with wands was super fun for everyone even if the little ones didn’t «get it» perfectly and just enjoy the magic of it all. ;)

Maze was amazing, golf was horrible, quest was ok… But the worst was the laser and the rude guy who was watching it today… And by being an idiot pissed me off and caused a 4 star to a two star… We had 4 of us & a two year old, so you can imagine how much money I dropped… Got to the lazar and you walk thru a little room maybe 10×15 and have to step thru lazers, well I started out with the last person, who was my 2 year old and was helping her thru it when he popped his head in and said, you only had 4 tickets… Now this is one of the lamest things I have ever seen and my 2 year old was suppose to be free, I basically said whatever dude and walked out. I was thinking, maybe they had a line… Walked out and they had no one… Rethinking this has now dropped it to a 1 star. Everyone else in this place was really nice so I will push it back up to two stars… I think the kid knew he pissed me off and I would normally have asked to see the manager but it was not worth it… You will loose it in a customer who comes to Tennessee very often and will post it to all my friends also to stay away!
On the quest my awards did not work… Had to replace them both! But not to worried because they were nice about it…

My daughter and I love this place. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is because it needs updated. They should shut down for a couple days and rearrange the location of some items. Other than that, it is an awesome magical scavenger hunt.

Family fun without much replay value. The first time that I went here it was amazing, never seen anything like it before. Now after my fourth time it has really lost its luster. Having an interactive world that responds to the wave of your wand can be very magical, I just suggest you buy your own wand as the rentals don’t work well. The main point of this place is to go on different quests, fight dragons, ogres, evil fairies, and make the people happy as you gain additional powers. If you are witty enough to figure out all the riddles the whole thing can be completed in within an hour and a half. There are secret doors and rooms as well. The downside of the game is that it is now graphically inferior when you get to fighting monsters, noticeably so, also that for the past 5 years only one new things has been added. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give me any reason to go back. Other actvities here include a mirror maze, which is pretty awesome, a laser vault game, boring, and a pretty basic black light putt putt. This is a great place to visit once or twice but I would stop there before your fond memories of it fade.

MagicQuest is great for the whole family to include letting out your inner nerd as an adult. It offers blacklight indoor golf, a 5000 sq. ft. mirror maze, a laser maze to make you feel like a secret spy to get to the other side, and has the popular attraction of getting a wand, accepting quests, and gaining power to ultimately fight the dragons or one another. Awesome place!!!

This is my favorite place to go in pigeon forge it brings out the child in me magi quest it’s like a huge video game it’s so much fun and I’m 24! There mirror maze was pretty awesome to it took me and my friend about 30 mins to get out but we had fun while we were In there and there pirate themed black light putt putt is the best around! A little pricey but it is so worth it to spend at least a couple of hours in this place having fun great for a rainy day!

Being the huge nerd that I am, the moment I saw MagiQuest’s castle my girlfriend knew she was in store for a few hours of torture. Ironically, I think she had almost as much fun as I did.
After spending an hour running around trying to solve riddles, we realized that children were more intelligent than a couple of twenty-something’s. Despite our less than magical results, we had a really good time trying. Next was mirror maze. Here we felt a bit smarter. Though still challenging, we made it out without having to call emergency services to send someone in after us.
The laser maze was an embarrassment. We tried to go through it together and only proved that I’ll never be a master thief or a Sam Fisher.
Lastly, the pirate golf under the black lights was really fun. As far as mini golf courses are concerned, it left a bit to be desired. This was the first I had ever played under a black light though, so it did have that going for it.

This place seems really costly, but when you look at how much you can do for that cost, it was totally worth it! (Considering at another place we paid about $ 50 just to mini-​golf.) The kiddos loved it. The Laser part was really quick but this kids liked to see who could do the best. Mini-​golf was fun. Not to difficult for the kids, so they loved being able to sink a shot with 2 – 3 strokes. We sent the kiddos into the mirror maze alone. They had a blast, although they did end up bailing out at the halfway point because they kept taking wrong turns and ending up back at the beginning.
Would have given this 5 stars, but once it starts to get crowded it is near impossible to get far in the quest, so go early! Also you end up getting whacked in the face with wands by frustrated parents who didn’t pay attention to how to properly wave it. Also, this place would probably be lost on any kid under age 6.

Fun for all ages. Not good for small children. Parents be prepared for your children to «think they know more» than you do. Good practice for teenage years. Staff is very helpful. Did not do the rest of the stuff. Only MagiQuest.

The mirror maze is really fun and hard. You never know which way you’re supposed to go.
MagiQuest, the video game, is really fun. Make sure you stick with your kids so you can help them know which room to go to. You will need the Ancient Book of Wisdom. I recommend that you buy your kids a wand and not just rent it. But, if you’re an adult you might want to just rent one.
It’s all worth the money and your kids will have a blast there!

I was swindled into going here by my two little seedlings who unfortunately never forget a promise!!! I promised them last year I would take them to MagiQuest next time we come to town, and well, here we are.
I suppose there could be worse ways we could spend our money, like two years ago when our now 10 year old wanted to bungee jump off a tower. The problem with that was the company running the operation has a notice when purchasing your ticket that states: NO REFUNDS if you change your mind after reaching the top of the tower. Well, sure enough, we put too much faith into the plea’s of a 8 year old. But considering we don’t plan to return to Pigeon Forge for a while, we are allowing a little extra spending budget for this trip.
MagiQuest is fairly expensive. $ 24.99 for one single person if you just do the Quest and $ 29.99 for everything (laser, mini-​golf & mirror maze). There are also other add-​on that make your kids plead on hands and knees and before you know it, you’re around $ 75 per kid. We stayed frugal and did only the Quest, one wand topper (out of their own saved money) and I opted for the $ 5.99 charge to walk around with the kids during their 1.5 hour allotted time to finish the Quest. THAT’S RIGHT, for $ 24.99, you get 1.5 hours that WILL NOT allow you enough time to finish. But never fear, they have more ways to milk you of your money!!!
For another $ 12.50, you can come back for ONE HOUR the next day to hopefully finish your game. But then there are other add-​ons like special keys to open additional rooms during your Quest, that of course «enhance your experience» and cost even more money. Face it, this city is a tourist trap loaded with vacuums to suck your money clean out of your pocket! If you come anywhere near THIS place with kids, you will literally hear the sucking noise as soon as you enter the parking lot. But it will be our last time for a while, as we turn our future vacations towards National Parks like Yosemite.
NOTE:
The Quest was more fun than I thought it would be, but still not worth the money in my opinion. The only thing that made it easier to stomach was the fact that Daddy did what Daddy said he was going to do. Can’t put a price on that!!!
