Dollywood is the creative brainchild of Dolly Parton, iconic singer from the heart of Tennessee. I've been to this theme park twice, the first time was stellar, with short lines and fun rollercoaster…Full review by Charlotte N

We planned this trip months ago, thinking Dollywood would be a fun holiday trip for our family from Washington State. While we made the most of it, I wouldn't go again. It was a long drive from Knoxv…Full review by E7587NAjenniferk

We enjoyed the Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration. The shows and lights were amazing. We were there on a fairly crowded day and still got to do so many things. The key is to have a plan and eat ear…Full review by 766lanap

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.
