Dollywood

Activity

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.)
