There's so much to see and do at Dollywood. Since you'll likely be there all day (or two), a backpack is probably one of the best bags to bring if you must bring something. Better than a purse, carrying a bag on your back will keep you hands-free and give you an extra place to store your beverage, keys and keepsakes.
Free Water StationsDollywood always offers guests free ice water at any culinary location to make sure everyone stays hydrated while having fun. We've installed water bottle refill stations around the park so you can fill up your own water bottle without waiting in line at a food location!

As for the rush through the gate, we often see crowds from around 10 a.m. until about noon. The secret is to arrive early so you can be in line before that rush. Or, wait until early afternoon so you can capitalize on playtime while a lot of folks are looking for lunch.
Not only is Dollywood less crowded in the spring, but the weather is great, too. March through May have mild temperatures in the 60s and 70s and reduced humidity. This creates a pleasant environment for many entertaining outdoor activities for the whole family.
Tickets and airfareFor people aged 10 to 61, a one-day Dollywood ticket costs $89. Kids aged 3 and under can enter the park for free, while those aged 4 to 9, plus seniors 62 and over, get a discount of 10 silver dollars, making their tickets $79.
Standard ParkingHowever, parking is FREE if you purchase a Dollywood Gold or Diamond Season Pass. Initial parking fee is non-refundable for Gold and Diamond Season Passholders. Free parking applies for visits after Gold or Diamond Season Passes are purchased.
Should you bring them or do we have them? We recommend you bring towels for your day at the water park. While towels are available to purchase, they are not provided. (If you're in the market, we offer two Dollywood's Splash Country towels for $25.)
You'll be on your phone a lot, so you'll want to bring a portable charger, too. You can purchase a charger if you forget yours. You can download the Dollywood app on your phone and use its GPS to easily get from one ride to the next.
there are large rides in each area, but again the layout makes it impossible to re-do several of your favorites with out having to walk forever. in a 10 hour span we walked almost 22,000 steps (9 miles). a tiring day to say the least.
