Nearby Gatlinburg, in Pigeon Forge, is Dollywood amusement park. I love to spend a midweek day at Dollywood, especially in the fall. The park is always decorated festive and the food, music, shows, and rides will keep you feeling young at heart. It spans over 150 acres and has more than 40 rides!
Dolly Parton opened this theme park over 35 years ago. She grew up near her theme park and she wanted to give back to the community by providing a lot of jobs in the area. If you grew up watching and loving Dolly Parton as much as I did and do, you will not want to miss her Chasing Rainbows museum in the park. She narrates her life’s journey through the Great Smoky Mountains.
If you are a thrill seeker make sure you ride the Wild Eagle. It is one of my favorite roller coasters of all time. You will feel like an eagle soaring through the air as the coaster free falls down the tracks.
