The welcome center is very small but easy to get in and out of. The hours are kind of short but troops working there are fast and helpful.

A friend was very persistent and was able to snag 4 spots for a night tour to go see the…read moredismalites, and I'm so thankful she invited me to join. The tour was wonderful. We got there right before sundown so we got to look around before it got dark. The gate and entrance are super cute, and we got a glance at the terrace by the gift shop, which looked like a lovely lounge. After introduction and signing of waivers, our guide took us down to the canyon where we got to see so many glow worms! It was really a living galaxy, so special. Similar bugs are only found in Australia or New Zealand, so if you get a chance, try to go check this out. The glow worms appear around April-May and also September-October, so keep an eye for that. Getting reservations is tricky as you gotta call, so you definitely need persistence but it's worth it!

1 star The website…read moresays dogs are welcome, so we drove two hours to Dismal Park on a Thursday morning in late September with ours. We were turned away at the gate. In the parking lot, a woman asked if our dogs were friendly. I don't let strangers pet my dogs, so I said "no," which is my standard answer. That was the whole conversation. She turned out to work the ticket booth. When my husband went in for tickets, staff told him we couldn't enter because our dogs were unfriendly and claimed one had lunged at her. It didn't. That dog is so sociable that our daycare uses him to socialize other dogs. My husband tried to explain, but staff talked over him and wouldn't let him finish a sentence, lecturing him about dog bites and visitors who are afraid of dogs. As a private business, the park is free to turn anyone away. But the lot had three cars in it, and they refused a paying family over a false claim without any interest in hearing our side. We would have spent about $200 on admissions and food. If dogs aren't welcome, or are welcome only after a screening, say so on your website. And if you advertise dogs as welcome, treat the people who bring them like guests. So much for Southern hospitality.
