Best amusement park in Tennessee. Lightning rod just opened and it's the blast. Also thunderhead is perfect if you like roller coasters . Make sure to ride the train at night during Christmas

Martin Lewison

Buy your parking online in advance to save time at the entrance. We got the Preferred online in advance and they direct you to the Preferred Lot, which has a separate entrance gate to the park .

Coaster Addict

Considered by many as the most family-friendly amusement park outside of Walt Disney World. This world-class theme park has a little bit of everything for everybody! Great service and great times!

Jeremy

Great ride. Don't miss the hidden gem of the park , Blazing Fury. Combination dark ride and indoor coaster, its old but it's awesome. Currently running a Christmas theme overlay.

Kate

Went on a Friday during the school year, didn’t wait for any of the rides or to get into the park . The park is clean , disability friendly , and everyone was very friendly . Get the cinnamon bread !

Daniel Walker

What’s not to love? It gets very crowded on weekends but the shows are very good and the rides as well . The park is expanding but could use some updating on preexisting areas.

Cowboy Bill

Nice weekend day in December? Remember that everyone else in the area thinks so too. Pick a cold, breezy day if you want to avoid the crowds. Dress warmly.

Aundria Costellow

Everything. The shows are fantastic, the food is excellent and they are disability friendly .

Kevin Mullins

A very family friendly place to visit. There are many new rides with more coming. Get the Gold Pass . It will pay for itself if you attend twice each year.

Jami Craps

Great as always. Rainy days are the best time to go. If it is not lightning, everything is open. No waiting for any of the rides! We got front seat in everything we went on including Wild Eagle !

Lesa Moore

Lightning Rod is the best! Zero to 45mph on the 20 story climb is a rush. 165' drop reaching 73mph and wide open till the end. Front seat arms up the entire way. Love that air time 😁❤️❤️❤️🤣

Larry Mullett II

When buying season passes, have at least one person in your family or group get a Gold Pass . Yes its a little more but you will SAVE more than the pass cost just on food, drink and parking alone!!!!!!

George Darden

Warm but great time of the year to go. Hardly any lines ,july. Longest wait 25 min; Screaming Eagle only 10 min wait and A++ Ride. Was amazed at all the coasters for different levels. Will return

Kenneth Vaughn

If you live close by, visit late in the day during the week. There will typically be less crowds and most rides and shows you can walk right on or have a very short wait .

Charles Graves

Wild Eagle ride was great as well as Tennessee Tornado but did not enjoy Woden coaster ride as much but still fast ride. Safety first on ALL rides. Zip line was fun but only 4 zips & took time.

Brandon Roberts

They've got it all. My favorite parts are the train , the eagles, and the huge sausage and onion grill you have to see at the entrance!

Angela Moore

Find the Woodwork and Gifts . I wish I could describe where it is at...but look and ask. I bought my Mom the coolest family plaque . It has little "people" for each family member. Love it.

Jamie Miller

The friendliest staff of any park . Also, be sure not to miss going the Chasing Rainbows.

Brian Adams

Park your car at Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge and take the Fun Time Trolley to Dollywood. It's 50¢ per person each way. Easier and cheaper than parking at Dollywood. Have the correct change though.

Kory Wilcox

Unique and exciting rides... Really great for even our young kids with things sitters can ride alone. Parent swap is a FANTASTIC idea!

Jeremy Taylor

The park is very clean and attended to. Just the right amount of attractions and good food! You must try the cinnamon bread !!!!

Kelly Younce

I recommend riding the Eagle. Even if you don’t like rides or don’t ride anything else. You don’t wanna miss this one.

Sharon Marion

Love Aunt Granny's restaurant ! The sugar cake at the mill is to die for! Do not miss seeing The Kingdom Heirs gospel group!

Matthew Small

Dollywood is amazing. It is one of the nicest, if not the nicest amusement park that I've ever been too. The lines weren't too bad compared to grander amusement parks such as DisneyWorld & Cedar Point

Debbie Cote

Great place for the family. Little pricey . Lots of shaded areas and little nooks to rest during your full fun packed day.

Chris Mcgonigal

Great park , we go to Walt Disney World all the time and I was seriously impressed by the quality of the Dollywood experience.

Adam Ashley

Dollywood is incredible! Best food of any amusement park . I put it on par with Disneyland & DisneyWorld.

Norine Moss

Stop by the Q2Q by the fountain and get the kids measured. They get a colored band that corresponds with the rides, so you can plan your day and fit more in!

Jan Kehrli

Lots of winding pathways lead to great shows, rides, water activities. Very nice park , sweet shops, realistic, family-oriented commercialism.

mary pinson

there isn't enough dolly themed stuff at the gift shops , but there is plenty of neon. other than that it's a great place! definitely worth it!

Jacob Bernier

Everything is awesome here! Loved the shows as well ! Kids had a blast. Def a must go if your in TN! 👍

Chastyn Minton

Really fun & family oriented! The shows are always super fun and amazing & the rides are thrilling and fun!

Jeremy Wilson

The Park was packed yesterday and a nice pumpkin display and a lot of food and drinks and food

Brenton Marcom

Hello Ms. Dolly! Ask the employees if they’ve talked to her. Some fun stories!!

DebraLynn Mims

Miss Lillian's Chicken buffet is the best deal and IMO the best food in the park , particularly with a 20% gold pass discount

Rides are great something for everyone. Love the shops and the bread from old mill awesome.

Mandie Caton

What a great day! So many coasters and delicious fall treats too.

Christina Bullock

Had an awesome time with my family at Dollywood. Nice staff , great food, awesome rides and attractions . Totally worth it!

Jason Cadden

Save $7.50 on parking by riding the trolley to Dollywood. Great way to save money and time. You won't have to pay to park and you will not have to wait in line to exit the park at the end of your vi

Ron Jarrell

all you can eat buffet has good fried chicken . Most roller coasters can't handle big or tall folks. Glassblowers are great to watch.

Andrew Moran

Don't try to be a hero on hot days - take care of yourself. All food service locations offer free cups of water so stay hydrated! It'll make a difference!

Jessica Allen

Great Place to spend an entire day! Rides, shows, decently priced food, a staple of my summer since 1993 (the first time I remember going)

Alix Record

Better than average theme park . A kiddie heaven. Rides are fun. Food is not good and overpriced (theme park standard) train is great fun

Laura Kreider Patterson

Wear super comfy shoes !!! The park is built on a mountain , a lot of ups & downs & the ground changes constantly!!! Save your feet!!! Choose comfort over fashion when coming here!!

Bill Benson

Great family fun. Especially if you go on a day where there aren't many folks.

Eva Alom

Dollywood is great for roller coasters and all.... But I must, this is the LEAST vegan friendly place I have ever been to.

Eugene Ponder

if your coming back more than 2 times get the season pass, if you upgrade to gold pass after you park 4 times it covers the cost of the gold pass

Zach Mullins

Wild Eagle is awesome, but occasionally has a wasp problem. Middle of the week visits are best due to smaller crowds.

John Garrett

Gold pass worth its weight in gold if you visit multiple times

lexie bell

It is amazing I highly recommend the drive for this one it is worth it. #love #life #perfectforfamilys
