Dollywood is such a beautiful park built into the mountains of Pigeon Forge. This park is a must if you are a coaster enthusiast or theme park goer!!!! Make sure you pack you walking shoes and be prepared to walk up and down some hills and steps but it will be worth it! The only complaint is the food pricing and quality. The food pricing is on the higher side of $14 or more and the quality is ok. The real great perk is the souvenir cups have unlimited refills for the season. Definitely try and go during the week when school is in for low wait times.

Everywhere throughout the park there are advertisements for the New Night Flight attraction stating "be the first to ride" yet there is nothing stating that the ride is not open or coming soon. Walked around for 30 minutes looking for an attraction that was shown on the park map yet again nothing states that it coming soon or that it is not yet open. Drive over 500 miles to see and wasted my time

Dolly Parton is a woman worthy of admiration. She started out singing to her chickens with a tin can microphone, and was married to one man all of her life. The exhibits on her history were nice. I love steam trains, the sound and smell of them, and Lady Klondike did not disappoint. I can't comment on the coasters as I do not ride them any more. I appreciate that chilled waterbis available everywhere. Once you buy a bottle of H2O, you can refill it at any soda station. The food prices we encountered were fair. The orange creamsicle milk shake was only 9 bucks, took some effort to make, and were eye candy with cup swirls, whipped cream, and a cherry. It was a nice crowd, completely free of city types running around cutting lines, , knocking people over, and causing uneasiness on purpose.

My first time at Dollywood (and definitely not my last) was amazing!!! Dolly is a national treasure for SO many reasons and these parks are certainly a few of those reasons. I'm unsure whether I'd be able to stay a full day at Dollywood due to not caring for the food far offered (Aiken to fair food IMO) but I could certainly spend more than half a day. The lines were short, the rides were exciting, and the world they've created is fully immersive. Worth the ticket price but avoid Doggywood if you don't necessarily need to utilize it.

It's always such a great experience at the beautiful Dollywood! I visited this past Friday on the last day of their 2025 Spring Flower and Food Festival, and had a great experience as always! Dollywood has some of my favorite roller coasters I've ever ridden, my favorites being the Lighting Rod & Wild Eagle. I definitely recommend spending the extra $99 on the Unlimited TimeSaver pass if you can! It's soooooo worth it! They also have super high quality Broadway-caliber entertainment here. I enjoyed From The Heart: The Life and Music of Dolly Parton so much! The food at Dollywood is also excellent, especially for a theme park. I really enjoyed my Kale Street Corn Salad from one of the restaurants in the Wildwood Grove area of the park. I'll definitely be back and can't recommend this park enough!

We arrived at 10:30 a.....Not too crowded..... $20.00 to park in general parking.... $93.00 to get in the gate.... Only one roller coaster was operating??? Park is in need of updating and possibly adding more rides and exhibits.... I can't really see the attraction...

Really enjoyed it! Glad I went on a Tueday after Labor Day. Easy parking, 5 minute walk to park. Very polite & helpful staff, reasonable prices, unique place, and lots to do. Enjoyed the Dolly Experience and the railroad the most. A real coal engine that actually "choo-chooed!" Great shopping, enjoyed the brisket sub I had. I went alone and had a great time. Highly recommended. Loved the water bottle "policy." Purchased a bottle of water before going in, was allowed to keep it, and able to refill it for free! A lot of surprises too, like the bald eagle sanctuary, the replica of the house here Dolly was raised, the one room schoolhouse and the chapel. Was told by several locals I met before going to try the cinnamon bread. Awesome stuff. Thanks, Dolly!

We just love visiting Dollywood! Everyone is so friendly, the park is immaculate and the rides are so much fun! We had a fantastic lunch and then sampled the world famous cinnamon bread-which was incredible! We are excited to visit again soon!

Beautiful Shops and merchandise

We had the best time at Dollywood and can't stop talking about it! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service that made us feel so welcome. The entire park is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully blended into the forest and mountains, with colorful flowers, peaceful wooded paths, and lush landscaping everywhere you look. It truly feels like a park set in nature, not just built on top of it. There's something for everyone, thrilling coasters, gentle family rides, charming shows, and so many little surprises throughout the day, and We loved how short the ride lines were, Everyone in our group had an amazing time from start to finish. The food options were great! We loved the warm, soft butterfly shaped pretzels (so cute and so good!), the savory andouille sausage, and the crispy, flavorful pork rinds among others unique treats that really make Dollywood stand out. Of course, the famous cinnamon bread was a must have too! Everything tasted homemade and full of Southern flavor. The shops were full of beautiful, high-quality Southern merchandise, from crafts to home décor and clothing, they felt like little boutiques instead of typical theme park stores. We found some really special souvenirs to take home. Compared to the big Florida parks, Dollywood was not only more relaxed even though crowded, but also much more fairly priced. It felt like such a great value for the experience we had, very clean, friendly, beautiful, and packed with fun. And to top it all off, the fireworks and drone show at the end of the day was spectacular, a heartwarming way to end a perfect visit. We're already planning about going back. Dollywood is a park with soul, beautiful, exciting, and full of joy. Highly, highly recommended! 5 Stars for this awesome park!!

The best theme park I've been to! Dollywood is clean, the coasters and rides are so much fun! The food is amazing and real! The atmosphere of just being in Dollywood is so much fun! Prices are fairly cheap in my opinion for regular day tickets, but they also have upgrades! We ordered the timesaver pass which is lifesaving if you only have 1 day at the park. It allows you to skip to the front of the line for certain rides with this pass.

Such a good time! The friends I went with are not ride people so we mostly wandered, ate and saw shows. It's a very low key park, less staff than other big theme parks but all so nice. We got there early to sign up our group for glass blowing but it's very limited. Despite all of us being there only two of us could do it to allow other groups to participate. There are maybe twenty spots? If you aren't there first thing on a busy day, you may not get a spot. The food is meh, but cheap by California standards.

We took the family to Dollywood for a day out to Dollywood. The weather was excellent with cool temperatures in the morning and a slow warm up in the afternoon. I recommend getting there 1 hour before opening and drive to the far right to pay for parking. Taking the tram was easy and fun. The six of us explored Dollywood and had some food. We rode the train which was fun but had over half hour wait to board. I thought the repetition of rules before and during boarding was excessive. While on the ride I had ash scattered on my body. If you have sun glasses wear them. Train seats were very narrow and uncomfortable. We saw a group of Eagles held in the sanctuary. Family enjoyed the Dollywood experience which tells about her childhood and rise to stardom. The wait and viewing of Dolly's tour bus was not worth it. I highly recommend bringing a backpack with empty water bottles to fill up for free at any restaurant. The flatbread pizza at one location was alright but not satisfying. I did enjoy the ice cream at the sweet shoppe. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Overall the experience was good but would like to see more things for individuals who don't go on rides. Two family members had to wait in line for 1 hour and 15 minutes to get on a roller coaster ride for it to last roughly 3 minutes long. Not worth the wait. I would recommend Dollywood add more signage as it was difficult in some areas to find things. I would suggest visitors go during midweek during the school year for less crowds.

A beautiful park. Clean, laid back. Everyone is friendly. Lots of rides. Compared to Disney the lines are much much shorter!

One of the great roller coasters.

Do u have elevators that go to the top of some rides for someone who can't walk up all those steps?

No elevators You could probably rent wheel chairs.

My family and I visited The Island in Pigeon Forge early on a Monday morning, and it turned out to…read morebe a great time to go. We parked across the street in their free parking area, which had plenty of available spots at that hour. The walk over was less than a mile and very manageable. Although the weather wasn't ideal--light rain and chilly temperatures--it didn't take away from the experience. We started by walking around and taking everything in. There are so many cute shops, unique stores, and plenty of great photo opportunities throughout the area. We did a little shopping, sampled some food, and purchased tickets to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, which was a highlight. Before heading out, we made one last stop at Ole Smoky Moonshine, which is always a fun experience. Even though the weather didn't fully cooperate, we still had a great time and really enjoyed our visit. The Island has a fun, lively atmosphere and offers something for everyone--we'd definitely go back!

This is a very beautiful shopping place in Pigeon Forge. I really loved the dinosaur figurines…read moreoutside; cool! With that being said, we found it a bit of a tourist trap and pricey, but that was to be expected for the area and kind of place this is. There are tons of alcohol tasting places and food places through out here. We did do a stop and tasting at Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine, which was unique enough since I am from the west coast visiting, and fun. I still think if you want more authentic tastings and food, to go to downtown Gatlinburg instead (it's all similar enough though). We also did a wine tasting here and all the wines were so sweet for my palette. I did enjoy the shops and pursuing around this beautiful area. A great spot to get some steps in. Many places also offer free samples of food to (like the candy store) so don't be afraid to go in and try.
