Do you get wet on rides at Dollywood?

Dollywood is a pretty sizable theme park and a bit hilly. You'll want to make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes to move around all day. Bonus if you don't mind them getting wet from a couple of water rides! If you don't like wet shoes, you can pack a set of flip flops for the water rides to be safe.

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.)

Depending on when you come to Dollywood, weather in East Tennessee can change within a day or two. I suggest bringing light layers. Also, remember loose articles are not permitted on rides. It's great to wear pockets with zippers or bring a fanny pack to store small personal items.

Each guest may bring in one unopened bottle of water, which can be refilled at stations throughout the park. Free cups of ice water are also available. One more thing worth noting: Dollywood does not serve alcohol inside the park.

Dollywood is closed for the off-season. With the way the calendar falls this year, that means our teams have 67 days to reset and ready the park for another great year of operation. Dollywood re-opens March 11 (March 10 for Season Passholders).

Spring and Winter are less visited seasons at Dollywood. Generally, you'll find Dollywood is most crowded in summer and fall. While going to Dollywood in the low season is ideal, visiting on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday during summer is the best way to dodge crowds and long lines.

Flip flops and water shoes. Pavement can get hot in the summer, so wearing flip-flops or water shoes around the park can be helpful. Some rides allow you to wear certain shoes; other rides allow you to take them off and carry them on the ride with you.

Dollywood is a large theme park, but perhaps more importantly, a very hilly theme park. If you have even moderate mobility issues, you might be intimidated.
