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.
Can I take an empty water bottle to refill inside of Dollywood and are small purses allowed? Yes & Yes. Dollywood allows you to carry in any empty container as long as it is not glass and you can carry in any size purse or backpack, but it will be searched at the front entrance gate.
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.
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.
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!
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.)
With its recent rise of prices, one day at Disney's Magic Kingdom now costs families $99 per person. For the same level of entertainment and excitement, a family can go to Dollywood for only $46 per child (ages 4-11), $58 per adult (ages 12-59) and $53 for seniors (ages 60+).
Can we bring our own food and drinks into Dollywood? According to their website, Dollywood does not allow coolers, outside food or drinks into the park.
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.
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.
It's also easy to forget Dollywood is really a park tailor-made for uncooperative weather. A majority of outdoor attractions operate in steady, light rain and only close when there is lightning and heavier downpours.
If you've got an open schedule and can afford to plan your whole trip around the best time to visit Dollywood, opt for April or September, both sunny and beautiful times of year without being too hot. (Make sure if you go in spring to avoid Spring Break week, though.)
You may leave the park and come back same-day, but Dollywood must stamp your hand. Make sure you have your ticket to show at the gate when you return. You can bring your own or Dollywood offers strollers for rent on a first-come, first-served basis.
Before entering the Dollywood park, all bags must be searched by park staff or security. To expedite this process, here are a few tips: Bring in as few bags as possible. Have your bag open and ready to search before reaching the gate.
