Very busy time of year and extremely hot but otherwise still a wonderful park to visit with family. Plan to wait in lines for over a hour during this time of year and have lots of water on hand. Ther… Full review by Ashley T

We live about 90min away so we have visited DW dozens of times. But never before have we been so disappointed than we were on 12/30/2024. We knew it would be a busy day and we were prepared, or so … Full review by haileyb310

Dollywood was a huge disappointment for our family. My wife and I took our 3 kids (16, 14, 12) and her dad on December 30, 2024. The park was not set up to handle the crowds on this day. All of the r… Full review by pointcollector

There are three levels of season passes, silver, gold and platinum. Gold is best option and is about $245 normally. Dollywood is very supportive of military and offers better discounts than most. You have to enter you're proof of being in military on website to get pricing.
Planning to go right after Christmas. I was told the lights are still active into the first week of January. Never been before. Is one full day enough to take in everything or do we need multiple days? Traveling with small children.

The lights end Jan. 5 and the park closes for the season. Stay till 8:45p.m. to see fireworks. If you just walk the park one day is enough. The rides are still running but lines are short due to the cold. Enjoy. It's a great place.
1st time to Dollywood and traveling with dogs! We have never been and it’s my birthday on Thanksgiving day. We are hoping to visit earlier that week to avoid crowds. Can anyone recommend a day that might be less busy than another? We were thinking Tuesday the 26th, maybe? I am VERY interested in the holiday offerings and lights and would love any advice there too (and any do not miss things). Finally, looking for advice on Doggywood. Many thanks in advance.
A:
Before Thanksgiving will be better. Very crowded after Thanksgiving.
