Cons: Expensive in price; long waits on rides during the peak summer season.

Pros: An all around great park with high-quality rides, food, and shows.
Cons: A few of the attractions could stand to be updated.

Pros: Friendly service, good food and a good time. Interesting crafts.
Cons: Yellowjackets in season. Some attraction and eatery closings in slower season.
Summary: What can I say. I call Dollywood the 'Disneyland of the South'. People mistakenly think sometimes that the part is has a Dolly Parton theme. That is not true, but rather, it's theme is the way Dolly grew up: Southern hospitality, ...

Pros: clean, beautiful, great shops, awesome food, friendly
Cons: NONE

Pros: Shows! Rides! Fun! Disability guide!
Cons: Tickets are pricey.
Summary: I have to tell you that I am not an amusement park fan. My kids are. They are the ride lovers not me. It is for them that I was dragged, reluctantly and protesting, to Dollywood this past Christmas. They said that even I would have a great time there. I ...

Pros: Stroller and wheelchair accessible, shaded, for everyone
Cons: long lines, hot weather
Summary: What a beautiful setting in the heart of the Smokey Mountains. I didn't know how much I'd miss it until I moved out of the area. This "theme park" is one of a kind with something for everyone. I do mean everyone. There are kiddie rides, thrill ...

Pros: Rides are good when you get to ride them
Cons: Don't be surprised that rides are not working; inefficient notification. Inefficiencies abound.
Summary: We went to Dollywood in April and May. At busy times, there are still the trams loading people very, very slowly. The long line to get on a tram squeezes through one exit from the parking lot, to move onto the long tram. Why not have multiple entrance ...

Pros: Scenery, Value, Food, Friendliness
Cons: It takes 15 hours to get there from my home :-)
Summary: I am a regular visitor to Dollywood for the last 10 years. I previously had family in the area, which introduced me to the park. Now, I make a point to get there every 18 months or so even without another reason to visit. When looking at value, I ...

Pros: Unique, clean, and family oriented
Cons: Rude employees
Summary: I went in August of 2002 with a friend of mine. I had been curious about visiting the park for some time. But wanted to go on a day when Dolly herself would be there. So we went on this day because there was going to be a filming of the John Walsh show ...

Pros: A big park with loads of stuff to do and see.
Cons: Sometimes smaller is cozier.
Summary: Dollywood has been my amusement park stomping grounds for many years. I’ve always loved Dolly and her music, and I live about 4 hours from her park. Though Carowinds (on the NC/SC border) is a bit closer, I’ve always liked Dollywood...

Pros: Safe, clean, quaint
Cons: Over-priced food
Summary: My family and I visited Dollywood in the September "shoulder season" in 2001 and 2002.
Although I was surprised at the high entrance fee -- almost $100 for two adults and a child -- that also covered all the amusements inside. I've never been...
