Dolly’s Big 3: Unforgettable Smoky Mountain Fun for the Whole Family

Dolly Parton is a legendary country singer and philanthropist and her legacy started right here in The Great Smoky Mountains. One of the ways she has given back to her community is by starting her many businesses in the area. The big three are Dollywood, Splash Country and The Dolly Parton Stampede. They are each things you’ll want to add to your bucket list when you visit!

 

1. Dollywood

Dollywood is known as a place to make memories. Perfect for little kids and adults alike, everyone loves visiting America’s number one theme park. Don’t miss out on rides like The Wild Eagle and Fire Chaser and don’t forget to stop in and try some of Dollywood’s famous cinnamon bread which you can smell throughout the whole park. When you go on vacation with your family you want it to be a time that you remember and Dollywood is certainly a wonderful place to do this.

 

2. Splash Country 

Right next door to Dollywood is its sister park, Splash Country. Perfect for those hot summer days when you still want to be outdoors but can’t stand the heat, Splash Country is filled with thrilling rides and so many ways to cool off. If waterslides aren’t really your thing, don’t worry! Jump into the wave pool where you can coast along the life-like waves and float along across the current.

 

3. The Dolly Parton Stampede

Nothing says The Great Smoky Mountains like going to a rodeo and there isn’t a better rodeo in town than The Dolly Parton Stampede. With cowgirls and boys and some very talented horses, this dinner show is a one-of-a-kind way to spend your evening. Enjoy crowd involved games and sit back in awe of the incredible abilities of the performers. If you’re looking for an Appalachian event, you’ve found it at The Dolly Parton Stampede!

 

No matter the way you choose to spend your Dolly inspired day you’ll need a comfortable cabin to lay your head at night. Check out Dogwood Townsend Lodging for authentic log cabins in the Smokies and stay right down the road from Dollywood, Splash Country and The Stampede.
