One of my favorite tips to share with people who are unfamiliar with Dollywood is to keep your eyes open: beyond the beauty, there’s a lot of fun at every turn. Whether you notice tongue-in-cheek signage, colorful characters, or an intentional mouse hole tucked away in Craftsman’s Valley, you will be delighted throughout your day.

You ask, what was that about a mouse hole?
It’s a sweet story that illustrates the Dollywood culture.
