The let down is certainly the food- it's expensive (no surprise) but also bad. They ran out of things constantly and there is nothing worse than having your seven year old granddaughter looking forward to her Bear cone only to be told, none too nicely either, that they are out of Bear cones- okay, a regular cone and sprinkles- nope, out of sprinkles. I don't even remember what the third ask was but, alas, not to be had. Finally, the woman said they had cones and M&ms, that's all. Instead of disappointing my granddaughter three times, why the heck not just say up front all she had was a regular cone and M&m's? Anyway, it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth, pun intended.

The ONLY reason for not 5 stars is the ridiculous price it costs to get in. People say the most…read morevalue is getting a season pass even if you'll never go again because perks include a free pass and discounted passes. I paid about $365 for 4 people. They do senior pricing and kids but its only $10 less and they tackle 12% tax which is insane. The great part about this place is you can bring food and drinks in. We brought a back pack with bottled water and lots of snacks. They have an entire area (country fair) for kids ride. It literally looks like a fair. For us, this was a one time thing (we are 6 hours away). But it was definitely a site to see.

Dollywood was INSANE!!…read more The rides were really good, just don't go on the Lightning Rod unless you want 6 minutes of vomiting. Food was great, especially the corn dogs. A few other rides I don't recommend going on is the Big Bear Mountain, Blazing Fury, Daredevil Falls, and the Drop Line. These rides are all great, I just don't recommend them for people who are scared and vomit easily. Overall, 5 stars easily. Recommend going here

Ample parking. Indoor and outdoor pools. We did the mobile check in with no issues. Make sure to…read moregrab a physical key if you want access to amenities as your digital key will not work on them. The exercise room is well equipped with weights ranging from 5-50 lbs, exercise ball, wall balls, treadmills (disposable headphones available at front desk), water, towels, weight machine, bench, etc. the rooms are clean. The breakfast is fresh, ready and available daily from 7-10 am. The front desk and breakfast staff are helpful and friendly. Convenient to many downtown areas but away from the noise of the strip. Highly recommend and will be back again!

i would say it's a nice average hotel. staff is nice not overly friendly but nice. free bfast with…read morecoffee, waffles, bagels, muffins, eggs, cereal etc. but bad at all. the room wasn't as clean as i would like. they don't stock it for enough people, they knew we had 3 adults and a toddler, we need towels and more than 2 individual coffee packs, so you gotta ask for stuff. they only clean every other day, which if you don't have a small child is okay but we have diaper etc so it's not ideal. parking is easy and free. about 15 mins from gatlinburg with no traffic but there's always traffic. the shower didn't get hot water quickly and it would go fast. tv stations didn't match what would come on tv, for example the tv would read "disney" but what would be playing is "hallmark". it's annoying. overall it's an average place. not super pricey but not cheap.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by friendly staff that helped us check in and arranged to have our baggage taken up to our room. They do offer valet parking and complementary self parking. They have an indoor pool, outdoor pool, fire pits, arcade, gym, spa, and even complementary s'mores in the evening. The service and staff were all wonderful! You get free preferred parking at Dollywood and timesavers for everyone in your party. 5/5 Star experience - we will 100% stay here next time we are in the area.

This review is all about the SPA!!!…read more Can a husky, bald, 56 y/o man get a massage?? HELL YEAH!!! Wife and I did a couples massage (a first) since we were looking for couples opportunities. And this didn't disappoint. It was very relaxing and both wife and I felt very comfortable. I did apologize for my feet (I have gravel grippers) but they trooped on. The therapists were engaging as to what we'd like (I asked to kneaded like a bad pillow, and wife was less needy). But they adjusted accordingly and we were very appreciative It can be pricey (we had a resort discount though), but this is well worth the cost. It's okay to be a dude and get massaged with eucalyptus-coconut oils. I will not judge you.

The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge is truly one of the most incredible and memorable experiences…read moreyou can have. From the moment you arrive and see the massive ship replica, you can tell this is something special. The exterior alone is stunning and immediately sets the tone for what's inside. As soon as you walk in, you're given a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger or crew member, which adds a deeply personal and immersive element to the visit. Throughout the museum, you follow their journey, and by the end, you find out their fate--it's a powerful and emotional touch that really connects you to the history. The exhibits are extremely well done and very interactive. You're not just looking at displays--you're experiencing them. From touching a real iceberg to feeling the sloping decks that simulate the ship's final moments, everything is designed to help you understand what it was like on board. The attention to detail is incredible, with beautifully recreated rooms like the Grand Staircase that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The museum does an amazing job of balancing education and emotion. There's so much history to learn, with real artifacts, detailed information, and stories about passengers and crew that bring everything to life. It's clear that a lot of care and respect went into telling the story of Titanic in a meaningful way. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate, which made the experience even better. The entire facility was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, allowing you to take your time and fully enjoy each part of the museum. Overall, this is an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond a typical museum visit. Whether you're a Titanic enthusiast or just looking for something unique and meaningful to do, this is an absolute must-visit. I would highly recommend it to anyone--definitely a five-star experience.

The exhibit is full of fascinating artifacts, all clearly labeled and easy to follow. There are several interactive elements throughout, including a station where you can touch the water to feel just how cold it was that night. They also have a section with memorabilia from the movie, plus an impressive LEGO model of the Titanic that comes with a really cool backstory about the person who built it. Overall, it's engaging, informative, and memorable. I would definitely visit again.
