No corporate feeling here, it feels as if the folks from the local neighborhood have done their best to make the corner block party the best that it can be. Uncle Charlie and cooking up those peppers and onions with sausage right in front of you. There is no machine processing them. Auntie Belle is squeezing those lemons to make... More

We enjoy Dollywood! However, they need better crowd control. This was our second visit and during a very busy long holiday weekend and everything was just way too crowded. Lines were way too long, food lines/drink refills were way too long. So it gets tiring and frustrating...with that being said...if you can go during a non crowded time you will... More

I was expecting more rides, more crafts, more eating places and this was a big disappointment. I thought it would be a small Busch Gardens type but definitely not worth price of admission. More

It's grown up in the last few years and is starting to hold its own with other amusement parks, so I find the price of admission fine, but the price of the food and drinks is prohibitive even compared to other amusement parks (BASIC meals for two will cost $30; two lemonades over $10 ...a water, $3). Conversely, clothing and... More

Dolly music all the time but very attentive staff. Managers are great when we had a rude employee. Rides are fun. Get there on a weekday or sunday. You better get there at 9 or 10am! Make everyone go from ride to ride so you beat the lines then go to lunch and a show during the heat. Buy gold... More

As season pass holders we knew our mini-vacation had to include a stop at Dollywood. Once again, a great time!! Although the weather was not great, it did not hinder our good time. The park was not at all crowded and we barely had any wait for rides. The only downside I can think of is the prices of food... More

What can you say about this place other than it's a fun way to spend the day - very clean, lots of activities for all ages, reasonable prices. The parking lots fill quickly and early, so maybe take a trolley and avoid the rush of finding a place to park close by. The staff, mostly older retired people, are very... More

I like the selection of free shows and the park is very well kept! This park is very similiar to Silver Dollar City with many small shops and few rides. If you enter the park after 3PM, you get free admission the next day. I would recommend taking advantage of this due to the lines at the rides. Parking is... More
