    Now that's a tire!
    Alex J.

    When you first walk up to the ticket window at Dig N Zone theme park you may think holy makeral! This should be called Dig N Zone "ream" park. Yep, the prices seem to be a little steep, but believe me, the adventure for the little ones is well worth the price of admission. The kids are going to have fun, while us older construction workers will be able to act just like the real workers that we see as we drive by construction sites....standing around watching other people work! Only in this case, we get to watch as our precious new hires drive, dig, roll, and ride their way into countless dreams. We big kids can do many of the activities too, but it's much more fun to watch. Sure, I hopped on a few of the real, true sized, pieces of equipment, but it was always with my young grandkids on my lap. Did I mention dreams? It was a true life dream for me. My six year old grandson operated a real excavator! Digging and dumping all on his own. The confidence he showed climbing onto the machine and strapping himself in, ready for work, he dug circles around me. LoL, I couldn't seem to get the darn thing to do what I wanted it to do! But he had no such issue. He mastered that yellow beast within minutes. About midway through our adventure we ducked under the shaded picnic area. Shade is at a premium at Dig N Zone. There's no shade trees to be had for a quick shadow quench. An umbrella would be a good idea to bring along. We brought our lunch, but you can get a bite at the Cafe. I didn't venture inside because I was told that there wasn't any ice cream. A cone after lunch would have been refreshing. Maybe they'll get around to it. This season being their first in business, I'm sure that there'll be a number of improvements on the horizon. I did hear of expansion plans. New attractions and such. Let's hope ice cream is one of these. The crew running the show are a mix of youngsters and seasoned veterans. All having their own charm and personality quirks. Friendly as all get out, and not a carnie in the bunch. We all have our dark memories of carnies. A sometimes unsavory bunch they can be. But there'll be none of that here. Strictly on the up and up. Bring the family for a fun filled morning. I say morning cause until they get more shade, you'll have more fun when it's a bit cooler. But heck, if those brave souls who actually have to work in the adverse conditions can do it, so shouldn't we all?.....LoL, just not me! Quick Tip: Don't eat before you go on the Decimator. If you know what a Rainbird sprinkler is you know what I mean.

    The decimator! Not for the week can make you nauseous...

    Everything went perfectly! We had an absolute blast and so much fun. The staff was incredible--shoutout to Jeremiah, Stacey, and the awesome guy running the dirt excavators! This experience feels like a true rite of passage for any little boy: exciting yet surprisingly relaxing! Highly recommend!

    As parents of toddlers who absolutely love construction equipment (like many others, I'm sure), we were excited to plan a trip to Dig Zone. After checking hours, we saw that during the "winter season," they were only open on certain days. We decided to visit today, a Friday, and paid almost $300 for admission for our family (2 adults and 2 kids). To our disappointment, when we arrived after our 5 hour drive, we found that the park was short-staffed. Several rides were closed, and for others, one staff member was responsible for operating two rides at once. This meant that the lines were incredibly long, as rides could only run one at a time. For example, if you were next in line, you had to wait for the staff member to leave, operate/supervise a different zone, and then come back. While I understand that staffing challenges can happen, we would have appreciated being informed of the situation beforehand so we could make an informed decision about whether to proceed with our visit. Unfortunately, there was no discount or compensation for the inconvenience, and many kids were visibly disappointed. When I inquired about whether being "short-staffed" was typical, I was told that this was due to "winter staffing" and was then told about other places that aren't even open, implying that we should be grateful they were operating. Yikes. In addition to the staffing issues, we also noticed that some rides, like the jeeps, had multiple cars that were out of service due to broken vehicles. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that future visitors are better informed, and to suggest considering better communication and accommodations to guests when facing staffing or maintenance issues.

    This place is awesome! It is a perfect way for young kids to get up close and experience heavy equipment in a safe and fun way! My personal favorites were the mini gocarts! I enjoyed it as an adult. The park is immaculate. All of the employees were friendly and interacted great with kids-especially Jay on the skid steers! Arcade was fun with an easy to use card to load up for credit and use to redeem for prizes. We got there when they opened on a weekday and had 2 people in the park ahead of us and had no waits for rides until we were heading out (with a less than 5 minute wait on a couple things) after being there for about 2 hours. The gift shop also had some more unique themed gifts that were not ridiculously overpriced. Hands down we thought it was worth it for kids who are into trucks/construction and their first up close experience with the equipment. We spent about 2 hours there and did everything and repeated several things. It seems expensive but after being there I can see why the costs are as they are to maintain the quality of everything and pay all of the employees who keep things clean and reduce any waits! I also enjoyed the historical signs with older construction pieces donated from the Trump family. Really interesting!

    We traveled here from Franklin, TN and we had so much fun. We went for my sons 3rd birthday and it was a hit. It was low key, not an overwhelming theme park experience...but it was very manageable with little kids. Our 3 and 5 year old were just tall enough for most of the rides, there were just a couple they couldn't go on. We would definitely come again, it's a perfect spot to bring your construction loving boys. The only reason I'm giving it 4 star was because the cost was on the higher side. It was $178 for two adults and one child. Plus arcade was separate. It is a new theme park, so perhaps by the time you're reading this the entry price will be lower. However, we understand it cost a lot to turn this place into what it is, and we had a blast. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, but just full disclosure on the cost. Scott and Joesph at the arcade were so cool! They were very professional, fun, and our kids loved them. Having a great staff is so important, and these guys are doing just that. Everyone was super welcoming and kind. We are happy with our experience!

    My kids and us parents had an absolute BLAST!!!! My 2 year old could do everything my four year old could do!! If you're thinking about taking your kiddos, DO IT! Lines were quick never waited over 5 minutes! Everyone was so nice, the worker name Jay offered to take our picture, and was the best worker we've ever meet! He was so sweet and got down on my kids level which means the world to me! I think me and my husband had more fun than my two boys!!

    So perfect. Clean. Fun. Staff super friendly and helpful. Our boys, 4 and 6, had so much fun and learned so much and so did all the adults. What a great idea!!

There's a great mix of shops, restaurants, attractions, entertainment, and plenty of colorful details that make it an enjoyable place to explore. I visited during the fall, and I especially loved all of the seasonal touches. Pumpkins, mums, hay bales, a vintage tractor, and other autumn decorations made the entire area feel festive and gave me plenty of fun photo opportunities. Of course, the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel is the landmark you can't miss. Riding it gives you a completely different perspective of Pigeon Forge and the surrounding area, and the enclosed gondolas make for a comfortable ride. My biggest hesitation is the price. Since you pay per person, taking an entire family up in one gondola can become expensive pretty quickly. Overall, The Island is a fun stop whether you want to ride attractions, grab something to eat, shop, people-watch, or simply walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. Even if you don't ride the wheel, it makes a pretty spectacular backdrop! Four stars from me--fun, photogenic, and definitely worth exploring, but some of the attractions can make a family visit pricey.

I'm also a cancer patient who doesn't know how many vacations that she has left in this lifetime. So, when someone offered us a chance to take this trip, we were over the moon and jumped at the chance. So writing this review is quite painful. I've always heard that Dollywood employees are the best so I was expecting kindness and helpfulness, but I was mostly disappointed. I want to start this review by saying that I could not do what the employees at Dollywood do all day in the blistering heat. They have to deal with people all day long and people can be unpleasant on a good day and vicious on a bad day. I deal with people in my job and it can be difficult. I know and I sympathize. It started when I had to rent a mobility scooter. Trust me, I hated having to rent that blasted thing, but I had a cancer treatment two days before our visit and my treatment can zap the energy right out of me. So, I went to rent a scooter even though I was embarrassed to have to do so. The young lady behind the counter was unfriendly and unprofessional. I was surprised really by her complete lack of kindness. She never once even cracked a smile and her behavior at my questions was rude. I was also disappointed at the employees lack of help when you asked for directions. We only had a day in the park and we had some specific things that we wanted to accomplish. When asked for directions, the employees were short with me and seemed annoyed that we even asked. I ceased asking employees and began asking other park goers. They were kind and helpful. Then there was the candy store near the train depot. The gentleman behind the candy counter was amazing. He was friendly and encouraging. Just when I thought we wouldn't find any employees up to park standards, he showed up and with his sunny disposition really brought a bright spot to our day. Then, my hopes were instantly dissolved when we checked out at the register. The female employee at the register was utterly rude and blatantly disrespectful. I was shocked and wanted to match her energy, but I didn't want to set a bad example for my kids. Also, the kindly gentleman was right next to her and I just didn't want to cause a scene. Also, the employees who deal with people with disabilities on the rides just treated us like we were an imposition. That's just not the way you treat people who are already struggling. Most people who have a disability would do anything to be normal. I know I would have loved to have not known this information about the employees who help people with disabilities. I believe some sensitivity training is in order for all the employees who come in contact with people with disabilities. We already feel like a burden and we HATE it. There were some employees that went above and beyond which is the reason I didn't give a one star review. I've already spoken of the gentleman at the candy store. He needs a raise. There was the sweet young man in the jewelry booth by the Mystery Mine ride. He was an absolute gem and was so helpful. There was a sweet young lady at Miss Lillian's where we ate. Two of my kiddos have severe food allergies. It makes it difficult to find food that won't land us in the ER. This young lady went out of her way to make sure that our food wasn't contaminated by allergens and she even found chips for my son who couldn't have the other side dishes. Bravo to her!!! She deserves a gold star, a crown, and a wand. Also the tram conductors were fabulous They were funny, kind, and helpful. Whoever trained those guys needs to train EVERYONE in the park. The employees involved in the Dollywood Express were another standout. They were kind, hilarious, entertaining, and really did help to make the day memorable especially for my son who has a popular YouTube channel about trains. It wasn't all bad, but there were enough disappointments to prompt me to write this review. I really hated writing something negative. I absolutely adore Dolly Parton. She is one of my heroes. I feel terrible for saying anything negative about something associated with her. I'm hoping this review will encourage some additional training for employees who deal with people with disabilities. Those people sitting in the mobility scooters could be on their last vacation and you could make all the difference.

You kind of feel like you're going to fly off the tracks during the ride, but you won't. It seems safe enough, and the ride goes by so fast (it's definitely less than 10 minutes). Before you know it, you're done and wish you could go again. (I didn't, but I'm sure kids would.) You can control the speed, which is nice.

The entire operation is a giant cash grab. In order to do most of the activities, an additional fee is required. As the storm moved in, they were still taking people's money. Definitely there are better options for families in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge areas that are more reasonable in costs and better value. Wanted to have a good time. Left disappointed. No plans to come back. Not how I expected to be treated as a paying customer. Young employees not trained to respond to the situation. Just disappointing the unsafe conditions they put every family that was that was at Anakeeesta in. Just unprepared and unacceptable. There are other situations that require emergency responses, and I highly doubt they are prepared to respond.

It feels like more than just a "museum," and we easily could've spent half a day exploring and still not hit everything.What really stood out, though, was the military discount. As soon as we asked, the staff knew exactly how it worked, applied it with no hassle, and knocked a nice chunk off the total. That savings made a big difference for our group and turned an already good deal into a great deal.. Between the amount of stuff included in the ticket, the chance to replay laser tag and rides as much as you want, I honestly don't understand how anyone could rate this less than 5 stars. If you show up early, plan a few hours, and take advantage of the discount, it's one of the best values in Pigeon Forge.

The best part was the laser tag -- everything else was pretty underwhelming. The 4D simulator was only partially working, and the glasses felt cheap. The earthquake experience was disappointing... my car on a straight road moves more than that. Plan to go with plenty of time, because between everything, time flies and you'll easily spend at least three hours inside. If you're thinking about going after 6 pm, I'd recommend leaving it for another day and going earlier. And if you're choosing between this attraction and another one... there's really not much to think about.
