The Ripken Experience
Bring your game face to Pigeon Forge. The Ripken Experience is a premier youth baseball and softball complex set against a Smoky Mountain backdrop, hosting tournaments, All-Ripken Games, and week-long team experiences nearly year-round. With six pro-style turf fields modeled after iconic ballparks, a 14,000-square-foot clubhouse, batting cages, and a "climb to the majors" atmosphere complete with walk-up music and player announcements, it's no wonder thousands of teams travel here every season to compete on a Big League stage.
Make Compass Hotel Pigeon Forge your team's home base for the tournament. Located just minutes from The Ripken Experience and the Parkway, our hotel gives players and families a comfortable, convenient retreat to recharge between games. After a long day at the fields, stretch out in spacious, modern rooms or two-bedroom family suites, fuel up with our complimentary Sunrise Breakfast, and unwind at The Backyard or 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill. With easy access to Pigeon Forge's shows, shopping, and attractions, Compass Hotel is the perfect place for the whole family to celebrate a win — or shake off a tough loss — before heading back out to the diamond.
