Dollywood • the Parkway • the Smoky Mountains
Pigeon ForgeTennessee
Coasters climb above the foothills, dinner-show marquees light the Parkway, and cabin decks look out toward the Smokies.
A Smoky Mountain getaway
Coasters, cabin decks, and a Parkway that glows after dark
Ride the Dollywood Express, explore Craftsman’s Valley, find a table after a day of rides, or settle in above town as the foothills fade into evening. The Smokies are close enough for a separate mountain morning.
Dollywood beyond the coasters
Wildwood Grove and the thrill rides share the park with live entertainment, Craftsman’s Valley, the Dollywood Express, and Southern food stops.

The Parkway after dark
Dinner-show marquees, mini-golf courses, arcades, mountain coasters, and The Island keep the roadside corridor bright well into the evening.

Cabin hillsides and hotel doors
A ridge cabin adds a deck, kitchen, and winding drive; a Parkway hotel puts restaurants and attractions close to the lobby.

Beyond the Parkway
A morning in the Smokies
Trade the bright signs for a creekside walk near Sugarlands, or make a longer drive to Cades Cove for mountain scenery and historic buildings. Check road conditions and parking-tag rules before setting out.
Getting here and aroundDollywood, the Parkway, cabins, and the Smokies
Coasters, crafts, neon, and wooded cabin roads
Dollywood pairs major coasters with live music and working crafts. Along the Parkway are dinner shows, mini golf, arcades, and The Island’s wheel and fountains, while cabin roads climb into wooded foothills near Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
