Dollywood

Dollywood’s 125 acre setting is more than enough to feature something for the entire family! Thrilling rides, children’s play areas, live shows and a wide spread of dining options all come together for an experience that can easily last the entire day. That’s not all though, aside from the sheer fun that can be found at Dollywood, visitors will find an authentic representation of Smokies mountain heritage and culture at nearly every turn.

Dollywood’s Splash Country

If you’re looking for a fun way to beat the Smokies summer heat, then look no further than Dollywood’s Splash Country. Designed as a sister-attraction to Dollywood, Splash Country features a variety of lazy rivers, flumes, tubes and slides that can offer a wide range of experience. Whether you’re looking to languidly stay afloat under the summer sun or fly through pitch-black tubes to raucous wave pools below, it’s completely up to you how you spend your day at Dollywood’s Splash Country. And while the park doesn’t offer the same spread of live shows as Dollywood, you will still find numerous dining options to ensure that you’re energy is on high throughout the entire day.

RainForest Adventures

RainForest Adventures may not pack the thrilling action of a theme park, but there’s no doubt that this zoological attraction is every bit as intriguing as any theme park out there. This all-indoor exhibit contains hundreds of animal species, as well as numerous sites you’d expect to see in their natural habitats, including a working 25-foot waterall! From snakes and other creepy crawlers to exotic bird species, there’s a site to capture the imagination of one and all at RainForest Adventures.
