Dollywood theme park with live shows and attractions in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Dolly Parton's Theme Park - Dollywood
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Grist Mill at the entrance to DollywoodWhen people think of Dollywood they come to think primarily of rides at an amusement park, but Dollywood is much more than fun-loving rides; it is The E-Pod of the South with Exploration, Entertainment, and Education.

As you enter the gates of Dollywood you will begin your Exploration through the “Craftsmen’s Valley” that offers a shady walk through a genuine holler past all sorts of working craftspeople, chefs cooking in huge cast iron skillets over open fires, and a winding brook. The Steam train takes you on an exploration of times gone by with over 5 miles of track. You will explore the high ridges of the Smokies and back again on this unique visit in the Smokies.

Around the bend you will be Entertained by Gospel Groups, Musicals of the 50’s, Celebration Shows of the Heritage of The Great Smoky Mountains, and so much more. The shows are some of the best entertainment at Dollywood. Why, you will even meet some of Dolly Pardon’s relatives that are a part of the show!

Allow your children to be Educated as they see where “Challenger” the Bald Eagle lives. Yes, Dollywood is the place that houses the Eagle Foundation. You will see demonstrations of how Eagles, Owls, Hawks, and other endangered species are cared for. You may have seen “Challenger” at National Football Games, The World Series, or at National Events in Washington as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence. It all happens at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.Challenger, The Bald Eagle at Dollywood
