Dollywood Parks & Resorts is officially open for its 2024 season! The Smoky Mountain theme park’s 39th season will offer the brand-new Dolly Parton Experience, which opens Friday, May 25.
NEW! Dolly Parton Experience
The Dollywood Company will debut the multi-faceted “Dolly Parton Experience” as part of the company’s half-billion dollar, 10-year expansion plan. The new interactive experience features curated exhibits and live entertainment designed to make guests feel as if they are alongside Parton as she journeyed from humble beginnings in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, to elaborate stages around the world.
The exhibits span Parton’s iconic career, examine the inspiration for and results of her biggest dreams, focus on the importance of her family, and even offer a glimpse of her signature style through the years. The Dolly Parton Experience is three times the size of the former Chasing Rainbows Museum, which closed after the park’s 2019 season. The enhanced museum experience is housed in three buildings and Parton’s former tour bus.
Big Bear Mountain
Elsewhere in the park, roller coaster fans will delight in the second year of Dollywood’s newest ride, Big Bear Mountain, and the transformation of Lightning Rod, which will feature a new, high-speed chain lift that gives guests a more consistent and efficient ride experience.
