Pros: great rides, great variety for everyone

Summary:
Dollywood is a wonderful family park for year round visits

Pros: None
Cons: Waste of money and time
Summary: Perhaps we should have known it was not a good idea when we had to park in the next county OR perhaps the woman leaving the park with a newly casted arm was an indication, but we were not prepared for just how unpleasant our day at Dollywood would ... read more

Pros: Plenty to choose from
Cons: Little pricey, but what theme park isn't
Summary: This is my second epinion about Dollywood and I want to dedicate the whole thing to the food and concessions at the park. Reason being? I personally think some of the food and concessions are very unique only to Dollywood.

Pros: Good for all ages
Cons: Terrain is hilly making it difficult for some physically impared people
Summary: *****Disclaimer…I decided to break down this epinion into a couple different Epinions (yet to come) due to the many different things you can do at Dollywood. If I included them into one article, you would give up on me (and Dolly) midway through. This ... read more

Pros: Nice gardens...OUTSIDE
Cons: Very pricey, couldn't afford to get in
Summary: I have always applauded Dolly Partons effort in helping the people of Pigeon Forge. The fact that she gave scholorships, and created jobs for many of the people there is heartwarming. This is one of the reasons my family and I decided to vacation ... read more

Pros: great rides, great food, delightful music, gorgeous setting (mountains)
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!
Summary: Take it from a local that lives about thirty minutes away from Dollywood, it is a great fun-filled amusement park for a family or for a pack of teenagers! The rides there are incredible. The lines are usually not too long, either.

Pros: Lots of trees for shade, and lots of benches to rest on.
Cons: The food and drinks were very expensive.
Summary: If you are looking for some great family fun, Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tennessee is the right place to go. First of all I will start off by telling you about parking. It cost $5.00 to park. You will also need to remember your letter (A-Z) because it ... read more

Cons: Big Disappointment In The Flesh
Summary: My wife and I, along with two young sons, visited Dollywood the first year it was open. As theme parks go, it was so-so, but because it was new (or because there are a heckuva lot more Dolly Parton fans than I was aware of - loved ya in "9 To ... read more

Cons: Slow Paced, especially if you're looking for fast paced excitement.

Pros: It is better than some smaller amusement parks I have been to...
Cons: It is nowhere near what you would expect from modern major amusement park...
Summary: I have to say that Dollywood didn't live up to my expectations as a national level amusement park. It compares more like a minor league team vs. to a major league team. I like the Dixie Stampede more than I like Dollywood itself.
