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.
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.)
Parking is $22.80 for all standard length vehicles, $27.35 for oversize length vehicles such as RVs and trailers. However, parking is FREE if you purchase a Dollywood Gold or Diamond Season Pass.
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.
Some would say three days is even better! For some of us, however, we are burdened by time constraints and all we have is one day at Dollywood. Yes, it can be done, but to have the most satisfying experience, it takes some strategic planning and prioritizing.
There are so many other things to do at Dollywood, even if you don't like rides. Dollywood is known for its fun rides, but if you want to skip the coasters, you can still plan on a day of fun. Dollywood offers a multitude of attractions that you can enjoy with both feet planted on the ground.
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.
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!
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.
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.)
I typically squeeze in my trips to Dollywood in one day, and I've enjoyed every one of them. The one time I took two days to visit Dollywood, I enjoyed it even more! Some would say three days is even better! For some of us, however, we are burdened by time constraints and all we have is one day at Dollywood.
