If you love the mountains, the people of the mountains and the excitement of amusement parks, then there is one place that you should put on your to do list. That one place is called Dollywood.

Dollywood is an amusement park that began as a tribute to the livelihood and resilience of the mountain people. With crafts and artisans sharing their talents with the visitors. Dolly Parton became a partner on the Silver City amusement park and helped to revitalize it with new rides and since she became a partner the park has become one of the most visited amusement parks in the country.

Rides in the park have grown since the park first opened and each year something new is usually brought to the park. Dollywood is open through most of the year with special treats for the Christmas visitors. There is the Ploar Express train that takes your family on a special Christmas adventure. Other holiday specials take place at Dollywood.

Splash Country

Now there has been the addition of the Splash Country water park. This has brought in people that are looking to cool off for the day and enjoy some of the unique water features that are available. There is the opportunity of water rafting as well as sliding and intertubes. The park is a full day's worth of over 30 water rides and slides.

Dollywood and Splash Country are both located in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
