If you are used to going to many major amusement parks, this will be disappointing for you. There are quite a few kiddie rides, but the older child to adult rides are limited and few. The setup is more of a shopping mecca rather than an amusement park. If you aren't planning on getting wet, the number of rides is extremely limited. I couldn't imagine spending a full day there. We were repeating rides after about an hour.

This is a very fun place. Everything is clean and in good working order. The lines went fast, so we could ride as much as we wanted. The landscaping is gorgeous! Their tram system from and to parking is very efficient.

They sell MANY things to eat, but they will give you a FREE cup of ice water if you ask for it at any concession.

Dollywood is quite a large amusement park in the Smokey Mountains in Gatlinburg. It has a wide assortment of rides. Top-notch roller coasters, faster rides, log flumes, and plenty of other rides are fun for the whole entire family.

Along with the rides, there is a wide assortment of craft areas where you can watch the workers perform their crafts. Some of the crafts you can view are candle-making and glass-blowing. Then, of course, there are stores where you can buy the freshly made wares made from extremely talented people right there before your very eyes.

Also throughout the park are some good eateries (for amusement-park standards). There are funnel-cake stands and restaurants that serve down-home Southern cooking that’s not too shabby.

If you are a fan of country music, or even if you're not, there are plenty of entertaining shows throughout the park with singing and dancing, comedy, and magic.

You can definitely have a very fun-filled day at Dollywood and not run out of things to do. If you are lucky, you may even catch Dolly Parton there, as she does perform at the park at times. (I have never lucked out and seen her there.)

The park is nestled in the mountains; it's built to look like living in the Smokys. One section is shops and craftsmen; another section is dedicated to Dolly's life; there is an area with rides for children and adults; several pavillions with performers and restaurants; and food booths along the way. It made for a very enjoyable day for everyone.

If you like parks and family fun, then I recommend it, and it only takes a day to go through the whole park. Very nice shows for the adults too.
