There’s a common misconception that holidays at Dollywood are extra busy. Aren’t you glad you have me to set the record straight? With Labor Day weekend fast approaching, I wanted to give you confidence before you finalize your plans. In the theme park world, big crowds usually follow good weather—not a specific date on [...]
Sometimes, it’s the simple tips that make the biggest difference in your experience. Example: I’m going to tell you about a pizza you need to try before Dollywood’s Splash Country season ends in a few weeks. It’s going to make your water park experience even better. I happened to be at our water park [...]
At Dollywood Parks and Resorts, our whole purpose is to help families create lasting memories that they want to come back and repeat time and time again.

Dollywood’s Splash Country is celebrating its 20th season this summer. That kind of staying power comes with some great perks. Why choose to spend your time at an established park? I’ll give you my top five reasons, though there are certainly more! The Dollywood Brand When you visit Dollywood’s Splash Country, you are visiting [...]

But in order to regain some normalcy, our team worked with a lot of experts (including doctors, government officials and theme [...]
Last summer may seem like a distant memory, so we want to revive those thoughts of warmer, brighter days. We decided it would be fun to play a game of “Memory” with images from Dollywood’s Splash Country. We can’t wait until we can open for our 20th anniversary season! Until then, play along with [...]
Our water park’s season runs from mid-May through Labor Day. Off-season work begins almost immediately to prepare Dollywood’s Splash Country for the next year.
