Fast forward to 2026 and it was my first time coming out to Pigeon Forge to check out Dollywood as I was in town to participate in the inaugural Run Dollywood Half Marathon. Although I had a 2-day park ticket, I needed to save my legs for the race. Parking was $25, but thankfully, it was free for race participants and spectators. For both days, I didn't stay very long. It was raining the first day, so I mostly walked around to check everything out. It wasn't too large, but a decent size. Over the 2 days, I did go on 2 rides: Lightning Rod and Blazing Fury. The Lightning Rod was a pretty thrilling ride. They really do have you strapped in tight! The Blazing Fury was entirely indoors, kind of weird, and much more tame in comparison. Some other rides that I saw were Demolition Derby, Lemon Twist which was their version of Disney's Mad Tea Party, and The Amazing Flying Elephants which was their version of Disney's Dumbo. They had quite a few more rides. It was a good mixture of rides for the little ones as well as for the older thrill seekers. While they had a lot of fair type foods at various locations, I only made sure to visit the Grist Mill to try their famous cinnamon bread. I don't have much of a sweet tooth and I thought it was indeed worth it and lived up to the hype!

They do senior pricing and kids but its only $10 less and they tackle 12% tax which is insane. The great part about this place is you can bring food and drinks in. We brought a back pack with bottled water and lots of snacks. They have an entire area (country fair) for kids ride. It literally looks like a fair. For us, this was a one time thing (we are 6 hours away). But it was definitely a site to see.

Dollywood was INSANE!!…read more The rides were really good, just don't go on the Lightning Rod unless you want 6 minutes of vomiting. Food was great, especially the corn dogs. A few other rides I don't recommend going on is the Big Bear Mountain, Blazing Fury, Daredevil Falls, and the Drop Line. These rides are all great, I just don't recommend them for people who are scared and vomit easily. Overall, 5 stars easily. Recommend going here

The exercise room is well equipped with weights ranging from 5-50 lbs, exercise ball, wall balls, treadmills (disposable headphones available at front desk), water, towels, weight machine, bench, etc. the rooms are clean. The breakfast is fresh, ready and available daily from 7-10 am. The front desk and breakfast staff are helpful and friendly. Convenient to many downtown areas but away from the noise of the strip. Highly recommend and will be back again!

This review is all about the SPA!!!…read more Can a husky, bald, 56 y/o man get a massage?? HELL YEAH!!! Wife and I did a couples massage (a first) since we were looking for couples opportunities. And this didn't disappoint. It was very relaxing and both wife and I felt very comfortable. I did apologize for my feet (I have gravel grippers) but they trooped on. The therapists were engaging as to what we'd like (I asked to kneaded like a bad pillow, and wife was less needy). But they adjusted accordingly and we were very appreciative It can be pricey (we had a resort discount though), but this is well worth the cost. It's okay to be a dude and get massaged with eucalyptus-coconut oils. I will not judge you.

The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge is truly one of the most incredible and memorable experiences…read moreyou can have. From the moment you arrive and see the massive ship replica, you can tell this is something special. The exterior alone is stunning and immediately sets the tone for what's inside. As soon as you walk in, you're given a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger or crew member, which adds a deeply personal and immersive element to the visit. Throughout the museum, you follow their journey, and by the end, you find out their fate--it's a powerful and emotional touch that really connects you to the history. The exhibits are extremely well done and very interactive. You're not just looking at displays--you're experiencing them. From touching a real iceberg to feeling the sloping decks that simulate the ship's final moments, everything is designed to help you understand what it was like on board. The attention to detail is incredible, with beautifully recreated rooms like the Grand Staircase that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. The museum does an amazing job of balancing education and emotion. There's so much history to learn, with real artifacts, detailed information, and stories about passengers and crew that bring everything to life. It's clear that a lot of care and respect went into telling the story of Titanic in a meaningful way. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate, which made the experience even better. The entire facility was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate, allowing you to take your time and fully enjoy each part of the museum. Overall, this is an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond a typical museum visit. Whether you're a Titanic enthusiast or just looking for something unique and meaningful to do, this is an absolute must-visit. I would highly recommend it to anyone--definitely a five-star experience.

The exhibit is full of fascinating artifacts, all clearly labeled and easy to follow. There are several interactive elements throughout, including a station where you can touch the water to feel just how cold it was that night. They also have a section with memorabilia from the movie, plus an impressive LEGO model of the Titanic that comes with a really cool backstory about the person who built it. Overall, it's engaging, informative, and memorable. I would definitely visit again.

We'd read enough good things that we weren't about to risk a long wait, so we played it safe. Ended up being the second group seated. The manager who sat us wasn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Led us to the table, dropped the menus, and walked off with no greeting at all. We were the only table inside and still sat there for a solid 8 minutes before anyone came over for drinks. We were about 5 more minutes from leaving before our server showed up. Thankfully she was attentive, and genuinely friendly. It turned our moods around very quickly. We started with drinks and the Elote Ribs. The drinks were perfect and those Elote Ribs were a great way to start our meal. For mains I went with the Birria tacos and my wife got the chicken fajitas. The Birria tacos were amazing! The meat was incredibly tender, full of flavor, and the rice that came with it was seasoned perfectly. It would be hard for me to order anything else there because that's how much I liked them. The chicken fajitas were just as good. The chicken was cooked right and seasoned well, and came with that same rice as my tacos.
