We recently visited Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. And let me tell you, it was the highlight of our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We rode exciting roller coasters, saw fabulous shows, and ate some delicious food! Dollywood is a great place to take the whole family. There’s something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t just take my word for it – Trip Advisor named Dollywood the #1 Theme Park In The United States in 2022. The park also won America’s Most Beautiful Park Golden Ticket Award in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re planning a trip to the Smokies and are thinking about visiting Dollywood, here are a few things you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dollywood Parking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Standard parking at Dollywood costs $22.80 per vehicle. Oversized trailers and RVs are $27.35. Preferred parking is also available at $41.00 per vehicle. Preferred parking is closer to the park entrance, with no tram rides. Parking is free for Gold Season Pass holders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not sure about where to go, just follow the butterfly path to the closest tram stop. From there, you can ride the tram to the front of the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passes to Dollywood include admission to the theme park only. You will need separate passes if you plan on also visiting Dollywood\u2019s Splash Country Waterpark. You can purchase multi-day and combo park passes that will allow you to visit both parks. It\u2019s recommended that you buy tickets in advance. Be sure and check the park calendar – the park season is usually open from March \u2013 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also purchase a Timesaver Pass, which allows you to jump to the front of the line on 8 rides. Or, you can get the Timesaver Unlimited – go to the front of the line at all participating rides and shows (see the link below for more details). You can also pre-pay for parking. We did this and it was so easy and convenient. They just scan your parking ticket and then head on in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
