Dollywood's Splash Country

Dollywood was INSANE!! 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

Our first time at Dollywood and we loved it!!! We wanted to take our 3 year old somewhere different especially for the holidays. When we found out that Dollywood does it big with her Christmas festivities, we knew instantly that we had to plan a trip here. We visited the park for two days and I have to say that this place is huge! The park is filled with various amounts of rides, shows, exhibits, and activities for all ages. What I really like about this park is that they have an area (left side of the main entrance) where you can have your child's height measured. They'll give you a color coded wrist band for their height and a map with the list of rides that they can ride. Then, you simply just show the ride attendant your child's wrist band and then you're on the ride. It's so easy rather than waiting in line the entire time only to be told your child doesn't meet the height requirement for that particular ride. My son loved all the rides he could go on but his favorite one was the rockin' roadway where he was able to sit behind the wheel and drive. He loved the ride so much that we went on it several times. Another big plus is the ability to use the Dollywood app around the park. I loved how you can go on the app and see how long the wait times are for each ride and even find out where the nearest restrooms and restaurants are located. The food here is ok. We got chicken tenders and fries for our son and it was a bit dry and hard. The dipping sauces made up for the dryness. We got the Christmas punch which was delicious and refreshing but the cinnamon knots we were really hard. I agree with everyone that the best thing to get while at Dollywood is her famous cinnamon bread. It was so good. I can see why people wait in line for the cinnamon bread. We bought two cinnamon breads to bring back home with us. We decided on getting the Smoky Mountain Christmas tour as an add on for one of the nights we were visiting the park. The tour includes having a guide show us around the park, getting reserved seating on the Dollywood Express, and enjoying hot cocoa and warm cinnamon bread all while walking through all of the beautiful Christmas lights on display. Definitely worth every penny! One of the hotel guests told us the wait time for Dollywood express the night we went was about 1.5 hrs and they were all packed in like sardines. By having the guide with us, we boarded the train comfortably on the reserved cart and did not have to squeeze in like the others did. The train ride was fun while going through the park listening to Dolly's Christmas songs and other Christmas favorites and watching all the lights on display. After our train ride, we walked around the park while getting fun facts about Dollywood. My son's favorite part of the tour was seeing snow at the tree with butterflies. He had so much fun running around with the other kids and chasing after the falling snow. It was so cute. Overall, we had a great time at Dollywood. My husband and I agreed that we have to come back but when our son is older so he can enjoy the rollercoasters. We also want to go during the time the water park is open too. We will be back again! I definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed it! Glad I went on a Tueday after Labor Day. Easy parking, 5 minute walk to park. Very polite & helpful staff, reasonable prices, unique place, and lots to do. Enjoyed the Dolly Experience and the railroad the most. A real coal engine that actually "choo-chooed!" Great shopping, enjoyed the brisket sub I had. I went alone and had a great time. Highly recommended. Loved the water bottle "policy." Purchased a bottle of water before going in, was allowed to keep it, and able to refill it for free! A lot of surprises too, like the bald eagle sanctuary, the replica of the house here Dolly was raised, the one room schoolhouse and the chapel. Was told by several locals I met before going to try the cinnamon bread. Awesome stuff. Thanks, Dolly!

Dolly Parton is a woman worthy of admiration. She started out singing to her chickens with a tin can microphone, and was married to one man all of her life. The exhibits on her history were nice. I love steam trains, the sound and smell of them, and Lady Klondike did not disappoint. I can't comment on the coasters as I do not ride them any more. I appreciate that chilled waterbis available everywhere. Once you buy a bottle of H2O, you can refill it at any soda station. The food prices we encountered were fair. The orange creamsicle milk shake was only 9 bucks, took some effort to make, and were eye candy with cup swirls, whipped cream, and a cherry. It was a nice crowd, completely free of city types running around cutting lines, , knocking people over, and causing uneasiness on purpose.

My first time at Dollywood (and definitely not my last) was amazing!!! Dolly is a national treasure for SO many reasons and these parks are certainly a few of those reasons. I'm unsure whether I'd be able to stay a full day at Dollywood due to not caring for the food far offered (Aiken to fair food IMO) but I could certainly spend more than half a day. The lines were short, the rides were exciting, and the world they've created is fully immersive. Worth the ticket price but avoid Doggywood if you don't necessarily need to utilize it.

We took the family to Dollywood for a day out to Dollywood. The weather was excellent with cool temperatures in the morning and a slow warm up in the afternoon. I recommend getting there 1 hour before opening and drive to the far right to pay for parking. Taking the tram was easy and fun. The six of us explored Dollywood and had some food. We rode the train which was fun but had over half hour wait to board. I thought the repetition of rules before and during boarding was excessive. While on the ride I had ash scattered on my body. If you have sun glasses wear them. Train seats were very narrow and uncomfortable. We saw a group of Eagles held in the sanctuary. Family enjoyed the Dollywood experience which tells about her childhood and rise to stardom. The wait and viewing of Dolly's tour bus was not worth it. I highly recommend bringing a backpack with empty water bottles to fill up for free at any restaurant. The flatbread pizza at one location was alright but not satisfying. I did enjoy the ice cream at the sweet shoppe. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Overall the experience was good but would like to see more things for individuals who don't go on rides. Two family members had to wait in line for 1 hour and 15 minutes to get on a roller coaster ride for it to last roughly 3 minutes long. Not worth the wait. I would recommend Dollywood add more signage as it was difficult in some areas to find things. I would suggest visitors go during midweek during the school year for less crowds.

We had such a wonderful visit at Splash Country! We purchased tickets in advance and utilized their military discount. I also purchased our parking pass in advance. I was able to show a QR code for both tickets. We arrived at 9:45 and found parking to be very easy and close. Right by the preferred parking lot. We were in the park very quickly! We brought towels, sunscreen, our son's Eli pen and four unopened water bottles with no issues. We stood in a large crowd waiting for the "park" portion to open so we could find seats in the shade. We had no issues securing chairs for our group. We only "saved" two to ensure others had shaded seats as well. The longest line we stood in for a ride was about 20 minutes. I found everything was run very smoothly! The food ranged from 8-17 bucks for the items our crew wanted. We did rent a small locker to hold our keys, phones and wallets. I would definitely return!

It's always such a great experience at the beautiful Dollywood! I visited this past Friday on the last day of their 2025 Spring Flower and Food Festival, and had a great experience as always! Dollywood has some of my favorite roller coasters I've ever ridden, my favorites being the Lighting Rod & Wild Eagle. I definitely recommend spending the extra $99 on the Unlimited TimeSaver pass if you can! It's soooooo worth it! They also have super high quality Broadway-caliber entertainment here. I enjoyed From The Heart: The Life and Music of Dolly Parton so much! The food at Dollywood is also excellent, especially for a theme park. I really enjoyed my Kale Street Corn Salad from one of the restaurants in the Wildwood Grove area of the park. I'll definitely be back and can't recommend this park enough!

We arrived at 10:30 a.....Not too crowded..... $20.00 to park in general parking.... $93.00 to get in the gate.... Only one roller coaster was operating??? Park is in need of updating and possibly adding more rides and exhibits.... I can't really see the attraction...

We had the best time at Dollywood and can't stop talking about it! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service that made us feel so welcome. The entire park is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully blended into the forest and mountains, with colorful flowers, peaceful wooded paths, and lush landscaping everywhere you look. It truly feels like a park set in nature, not just built on top of it. There's something for everyone, thrilling coasters, gentle family rides, charming shows, and so many little surprises throughout the day, and We loved how short the ride lines were, Everyone in our group had an amazing time from start to finish. The food options were great! We loved the warm, soft butterfly shaped pretzels (so cute and so good!), the savory andouille sausage, and the crispy, flavorful pork rinds among others unique treats that really make Dollywood stand out. Of course, the famous cinnamon bread was a must have too! Everything tasted homemade and full of Southern flavor. The shops were full of beautiful, high-quality Southern merchandise, from crafts to home décor and clothing, they felt like little boutiques instead of typical theme park stores. We found some really special souvenirs to take home. Compared to the big Florida parks, Dollywood was not only more relaxed even though crowded, but also much more fairly priced. It felt like such a great value for the experience we had, very clean, friendly, beautiful, and packed with fun. And to top it all off, the fireworks and drone show at the end of the day was spectacular, a heartwarming way to end a perfect visit. We're already planning about going back. Dollywood is a park with soul, beautiful, exciting, and full of joy. Highly, highly recommended! 5 Stars for this awesome park!!

We just love visiting Dollywood! Everyone is so friendly, the park is immaculate and the rides are so much fun! We had a fantastic lunch and then sampled the world famous cinnamon bread-which was incredible! We are excited to visit again soon!

I love all the Holiday Decorations and the Holiday feel. Just was not impressed by the park its self . It's great if you just want to walk around eat and watch a few shows. The day I went most of the shows were not being done , and I love riding rides but disappointed in the rides themselves. A lot of kids running wild and cutting in front of people that was waiting and none of the employees saying or doing anything about it My friend and I thought about upgrading to a season pass , but changed our minds when we got three different answers on what the price would be to upgrade . I LOVE DOLLY and the park is great if you're older and if you have kids . The Staff over all was Fantastic

The best theme park I've been to! Dollywood is clean, the coasters and rides are so much fun! The food is amazing and real! The atmosphere of just being in Dollywood is so much fun! Prices are fairly cheap in my opinion for regular day tickets, but they also have upgrades! We ordered the timesaver pass which is lifesaving if you only have 1 day at the park. It allows you to skip to the front of the line for certain rides with this pass.

Honestly I was expecting more but it was refreshing to not be inundated with the typical amusement park atmosphere. The roller coasters were great but there was not a lot else to do if you don't like coasters Food was good

Such a good time! The friends I went with are not ride people so we mostly wandered, ate and saw shows. It's a very low key park, less staff than other big theme parks but all so nice. We got there early to sign up our group for glass blowing but it's very limited. Despite all of us being there only two of us could do it to allow other groups to participate. There are maybe twenty spots? If you aren't there first thing on a busy day, you may not get a spot. The food is meh, but cheap by California standards.

A beautiful park. Clean, laid back. Everyone is friendly. Lots of rides. Compared to Disney the lines are much much shorter!

Hands down, this is the best overall amusement park that I've been to. It's clean, well planned out, fun for people of all ages and SO much more. The cost to get in, the food prices and even the gift store items were all reasonable (considering the prices at most other amusement parks). Several of the roller coasters are fantastic (although a few of the rides are a little shorter than I would expect). All of the park employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. One of my favorite aspects of the park is the views around the park. The mountains, the trees and all the surroundings were beautiful. I would drive a long distance to return. I hope you will give it a try.

I had been joking recently with my friends that I was going to go to Dollywood. Just a flat out joke, then I find myself nearby and made it a point to follow through on the joke. I just never expected it to be a spur of the moment decision. The night before, after settling into the hotel, I went online to see how much it would all cost me. I will say, if you want to have a decent day, it is not going to be cheap, but it is cheaper than other amusement parks. Or maybe it isn't, I don't know. I did purchase my ticket online the night before, I also purchased parking online as well. It came out to a hefty amount, but I kind of expected it. Getting through the entry gates for parking can be a bit cumbersome, so prepare yourself some time to wait, your first line of the day. If you picked the VIP parking, which I did, you are away from the crowds and a closer to an entrance. One where you won't need to use a tram to get to the entrance. Once inside, make your way however you see fit. I downloaded the park app so that I had a map already. I also used it to check the wait times for the rides that I wanted to go on. I will be honest here, all I rode while here was the rollercoasters and the app really helped out on that. I must have walked miles this day because I zig zagged through the park to jump from line to line. Do be careful on the walkways, with the misters they can be a bit slippery, I slipped once and kept that in mind for the rest of the day. As an overall experience, this was a great park. Rides, shows, exhibits, shops, and restaurants. All doable in one day. Pricing for food, drink, and souvenirs are what you would expect for an amusement park. Bathrooms throughout. Themed areas. Designated smoking areas in the park so you don't have to exit. Gift shops a chalk full of items. Staff in the park are pleasant and courteous.

After visiting Dollywood I now know why it's voted the #1 theme park!! Awesome ride selection and all of the roller coasters are fun! The food was amazing! Staff was super nice! I also thought that it was awesome that they had people set up throughout the park to help you with any questions you have about the park and where things are! The decor for fall is super cute!!!! Only complaint I have is with the train ride. It's kind of boring and you get soot all over you. But that would be my only complaint.! I highly recommend this park to everyone! Lots of shade and places to sit as well!!

Dollywood is beautiful and full of country charm. The food options were pretty good, and very geared to southern dishes, and there were vegetarian options too. It's a dry park, so a bit of a let down if you want a beer or cocktail, although for many this is a plus and I get that. During the day multiple adults were smoking, so while you can't get a beer you can get secondhand smoke here... seems like a dated policy but not a huge deal as it wasn't rampant. It also has great people watching and some fun characters doing meet and greets. Some of the rides need some upkeep ( log ride, river ride, old fire roller coaster) but they have clearly invested in the roller coaster's, which my family loved. We went during harvest fest and the decorations were great, especially once the sun went down and we could see all the lights. I think the park may need to look at their fast pass/premium rider process (ratios used to calculate flow rates and line times), as it resulted in many more premium riders than the normal line and the line times didn't seem accurate on the app. We are fans of fast pass but opted out since it was a Wednesday, and it was only a couple rides that seemed wildly off in terms of wait time (big newer coasters). The park did not seem overly crowded and we were able to do the things we wanted, and it was clean.

We took our 5-yr-old granddaughter today for the first time and we all had so much fun. We were impressed by the kindness of the employees, the cleanliness of the park, and the amount of rides that were age-appropriate for one that isn't into thrill or high adventure rides. Getting her picture taken with Flutter the Fairy was extra special. I loved the walkway with all the umbrellas. We got our pictures taken there but sadly we forgot to pick them up. My husband enjoyed one of the roller coasters. We enjoyed tasting some of the special foods that were part of the Flower and Food Festival. Highly recommend!

Many of you may have read, or seen on the news, the flooding that occurred in Dollywood about a week ago. Well they are open and in fine shape with no indication, at least not to visitors, that any storm rolled through the park. We went yesterday on a warm summer day and the park was beautiful. We wandered around enjoying the shows, the train, the smells and the food. We ate at The Front Porch Cafe (Dollywood) and the meal was delicious. I got the fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Both were superb, with unique flavor, and the mashed potatoes were the best I have ever eaten. The service was excellent and it gave us a respite from the heat of the day. Enjoy the rides, walk through and talk with the people, take in the smells of food, flowers, and the mountain air; Dollywood has something for everyone. Follow me on Yelp for more places to see and things to do in East Tennessee.

Expensive!!!! Lots of walking for little kids and older adults! One day you're allowed on rides next day nope too short! 3 people cost $300 plus nothing is less than $15 when you get In the park. Is it beautiful yes but not worth the cost! $25 to park each day! The island is the best deal if you ask me. Plus if you have darker skin like my little boy, be prepared to be treated differently by some workers. It's funny when some workers let you ride rides that are for 48 inches and then others won't after they take a look at you. Be prepared.

It was EXTREMELY fun. Rode a bunch of rollercoasters and rides. When eating, some ducks arrived . It even had a wife ‍ We fed them some food and it was so cute! Food was amazingly delicious. You NEED to ride the Mystery Mine. It is so much fun! Best ride for sure. I really recommend this park. BETTER THAN DISNEY

Truly a 5 star experience! This is our second time at a Dollywood park and we loved it! We spent two days at the water park and had a blast! The whole place is family and kid friendly! The only issue we had was there are no accessible rides for anyone. My son is really too small for the rides anyway, but it won't be something we can do in the future. I took my daughter on the rides and she loved it! We stayed busy the full two days. I highly recommend renting a cabana and wearing good water shoes! You will walk a lot!

I love this amusement park! The park grounds are beautiful and there is so much to see and do there. My favorite rides were Mystery Mine and Tennessee Tornado. As a season pass holder I will return several times a year to enjoy the park and attractions. Thank you Dolly!

Crowded bad. Do not go in the summertime. Dollywood is run like a chain restraunt. Employees hate themselves and you. Sevierville hates you as well. Food is basic everywhere. Traffic is a nightmare. In dollywood as well. Go experience this nightmare yourself.

The roller coasters are super intense with the lightning rod being super good. I love the Tennessee tornado and wild eagle as well because they have lots of loops and dips. Park is very nice and beautiful and cinnamon bread is to die for :D

Dollywood was a great place to visit. This was the first time for us. We visit Pigeon Forge often and never been to Dollywood. I'm glad we decided to visit the park it was beautiful and entertaining. The employees were so nice and friendly. The food was delicious. All of the shows were amazing. Dollywood had some great rides and the rollercoasters were fabulous. Looking forward to returning this fall for Halloween and Christmas.

Every Thing was So great LIKE the pizza and popcorn and the rides were a blast and maybe the splash mountain was great and funny

My husband and I came here yesterday ! The park was not as busy as it was a few years ago when we went ! We went into every store and every employee was so kind and welcoming ! We also tried so many different places to eat snacking and snacking and snacking some more - again , great service from all the employees and all the different foods we tasted were super delicious! We also picked up a loaf of the famous home made cinnamon bread from the old grist mill to bring home for the next day - super fresh and so delicious! The gospel and county music throughout the park was absolutely beautiful and so fun to watch - We even rode a few rides which were super fun ! The park was decorated with so many pumpkins and Halloween themed items and at dark it was all lit up ---- it was super cool !!!!!! Then of course to see Dolly Parton items everywhere - the dolly experience was amazing and so informative as well ! I highly recommend this amazing place - my husband and I are in our sixty's and we both had a blast - can't wait to come back for another visit !

Chaperoned a youth event on a Tuesday. Got there early. early 90s music DJed all day which was a pleasant surprise if you happen to be Gen-X like me, probably less so if you are any other age and hoping for some country, Rides were pretty tame compared to Dollywood, lines were very long. The water coaster was the only ride maybe worth the line to me. I think paying the extra money for fast pass would have been substantially different experience. Think when I go back to Dolly world I'll buy the package which includes fast pass , I think it was $15 more per ticket and we waited an hour at some rides while watching several groups of people hop on three times on and write off Food was over priced and underwhelming as would be expected. Mediterranean restaurant gyros with steak um meat for 16 bucks, frozen chicken fingers, space ice cream, and a frozen pretzel All in all, this isn't Typhoon Lagoon and it definitely is not action park which I was lucky enough to go to in the 90s

Unless you are a Waterpark fan I would pass on splash country. When it's busy it's packed and my experience was frustrating. Long lines to eat, ride slides, and even rent lockers. We were disappointed after having an awesome visit at the theme park, thinking this park would be more of the same. Unfortunately,we were wrong. In 3 hours we managed to ride 2 slides and do the lazy river. After it looked like we would be waiting in line 30 minutes for a hot dog we left to get food off the park and opted to return to the theme park for the rest of the day. Something to note: the set up at the water park allows you to watch those with fast passes bypass the line. So after sitting for 45 minutes in line you'll continue to see people jumping to the front. At the theme park fast pass holders bypass the line-but you don't see them generally because of how the rides are set up (seperate stairwell, side entrance, etc) This may not sound like a big deal but add in heat, hunger, and kiddos griping about waiting and it becomes fairly aggravating. Reviews online suggested only buying fast passes on weekends or holidays. We took our chances and went without because we went on a Tuesday. Maybe my review and experience would have been more positive if we had done this? If you've got an extra 50 per person to drop and love water parks I'd say go for it. 3 stars for cleanliness, friendly staff, cool rides and cold water.

We visited on a Monday, and the lines and crowds were not too bad at all. Longest wait was maybe 25-30 minutes for the big raft ride! There is so much for the family to do here! Slides, raft rides, a couple of kids areas, wave pool, lazy river, and a pool. There were life vests available for my 1 year old, and it was definitely family friendly! There was plenty of seating at each area! The price was definitely worth it! We stayed from open until close, and I definitely feel the $40 price tag per person was worth it! The food lines were very long. Like, 45-60 minutes. The food seems pricy, but it's really no more than what it would take to bring my kids to a regular restaurant, so I think it's worth it! There are lockers available, it's stroller friendly. Definitely a good time!

Edited: ON THE WAY OUT WE FOUND A SNAKE. (Kids walking by unaware!) The water slides are large but take hour(s) to get on. The food and drinks are overpriced, as expected, but the worst part was the restrooms. I was in Boy Scouts and went to summer camps in the boonies, but these restrooms were beneath even those. Human feces covered the floor and stalls were full of trash. I can't believe Dolly put her name on this.

Just to went to this place a few days ago and loved it! I was expecting to go on more rides but just like any water park there are lines. I did go on a Friday afternoon though and for that time the lines were actually pretty short! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going on the ride "river rush" sometime while you are at this park! It does have the longest line, as it is one of the fastest rides in the park. But there are fans in this line with mist that sprays out to keep you cool! You are also high up in the trees and if you look down there's even a river below when you get closer to the ride! This ride is green and large on the far side of the wave pool and you'll be able to see it hidden in the trees. If you are more of a thrill seeker I recommend the "Fire tower falls". They won't be hard to miss as you enter the park. They are two extremely tall beige slides that you shoot down pretty fast! It's cool to say you've been there and done it! Overall, this park wasn't too crowded when I went and it was overall pretty clean! Definitely recommend this water park!

Splash Country - overall park was ok and had a good day. Went on a few rides. Fast passes are a problem when people need to wait 2 hours for a ride and you see same group with a fast pass go through multiple times. This needs to be limited. Fast passes are getting more value for their money than those without. Need to put a limitation or time constraints on going on the same rides.

Not very (small) child friendly aside from the lazy River so make sure you have an extra set of hands if you're the parent who plans on going down BIG slides and such. Was clean however, and lifeguards were very attentive to the rides. They do have a few areas that are kid friendly but children bust teach a certain height, parents are not permitted on the slide with their child so making sure kid knows water safety prior to going is a MUST.

Terrible service tried to walk in and got yelled at for nothing. Terrible customer service you should fire Rick., just saw people do the same thing and didn't get yelled at (it's because we're darker than they were). fire Rick!!!

Love this park! It is so clean and the employees are fantastic. There are lots of slide and pool options for all abilities and preferences. Make sure to check out the "racer" slides at the front. They are my favorite and vecause they are so close to the entrance, there is rarely a line. I gave 4 stars because there are not enough food stations in the park. If you plant to eat after about 11:30, plan to stand in line for an hour. Even the Beaver Tail dessert line is usually 15-20 minimum. It would also be nice to see more fresh options. Otherwise, this place is great and I highly recommend getting the season pass!

Splash Country Waterpark ~ We traveled from West Texas to visit this waterpark so my fiancé's 13 year old daughter could have a fun, memorable experience. I grew up in Boone, NC and had been here a couple times before. First off, there is ONE tram going to and from the entrance. Not so bad for us, but a difficult time for his daughter, who has special needs (tip-toe walking), especially walking back to the truck after an all day experience. I would have given this one star, but the food here is amazing. Service at food stands...not so much. Highly unprofessional at every one we stopped by. Lifeguards at the end of each ride just literally sat in their covered chair with no offer to help if we struggled at the end of the slides. At the top of the Big Bear Plunge, the three of us had to take it upon ourselves to figure out the ride was ready. The two teenage girls working there, were WAY too busy telling every guy there that "I'm 17!" and "I'm 19!" and flirting with every young male that came through the line, asking their age. The 17 year old kept announcing and clapping that some guy from yesterday actually asked her for her gmail and not her Snapchat! Definitely a not-so-fun memorable experience - not once acknowledging our presence as a family, telling us where to sit on the raft, to hold on (common sense, I know)...but come on! It's a family park, not a dating scene! Then, when we came to the end, the tube hit so hard in the water that our necks jammed into our backs (actually popping loud), our lower backs got jammed up so badly and we had a hard time getting out! The Mountain Twist tore us up!! The three of us each took a lane to see who could get to the bottom first. My fiance came out of there with a bloody knee, bloody toes, and nearly came off the mat. I came out with a busted elbow, bloody toes, a lung full of water and bruised shoulder. Which we covered up our wounds accordingly. Not sure why we weren't allowed to wear our water shoes on these slides as we purchased them inside the park. What's the point of having water shoes if we can't wear them?! But thank God we bought them. There were fresh blood "puddles" (big ones) all over the concrete in various places. Overall, this park could use some pretty major updates/improvements. Instead of building more resorts for the property, updates to the parks should be a requirement...as well as hiring employees who aren't out there looking for a "good time" ... but ensuring families have a great experience! The wave pool was a joke. There were so many people all you could do was stand in place, or be floated into other kids and other adults. The "lazy river" was more of an "anxiety river!" Way too many people fighting over tubes at the entrance, kids swimming underneath people, racing and screaming on-foot, floating into other kids and adults and was just plain out stressful! There is nearly ZERO covered/shaded areas, and the SMALL bungalows must be rented days prior to your visit. Who knew?! The entire park rides still looked like they did when I was there in 2000. I love giving great reviews, and hardly EVER give any bad ones. But I feel families should be treated a bit better. This visit was just not at all what we had hoped for. Here's to the 17 hour drive home! Then to New Braunfels, Texas' Schlitterbahn waterpark. Much better waterpark, overall, with great employees. *rant over*

Go! Go! Go! Really great park. Clean and the staff is wonderful. If your budget allow splurge and get a Deluxe Retreat. It allows for personal space with big screen tv, refrigerator, complimentary water and wait staff. Perfect place for families. We enjoyed such a lovely day there. Please make sure to go and relax in the wave pool. Btw the warmest water in the park.

We always enjoyed Dollywood splash Country, this weekend was good but some of the rides was closed and although we purchased the soft drink refill all the time there was not enough xarope but what bothered us the most was people smoking in non designed area close to the pool and family and no employees to pay attention and take care of it.

No time saver pass for paying the ridiculous rates to stay at the resort, no benefits at all for being a season pass holder, if you think flying out of Atlanta is bad, it has nothing on the cattle hearding going on here, maybe because it was 90 degrees it was way overcrowded, but it was nowhere near as enjoyable as the theme park but with twice the wait times for the slides.

Do not come - Do not come. Almost all food is shut down a d most rides are closed. Full price tickets and the worst experience. I completely understand staffing issues but sell less tickets.

Loved this place! We rented a retreat (cabana) which was accidentally double booked but the staff handled it well. Very clean park with lots of fun for everyone. I was expecting a little more pizazz in the food but overall very edible and reasonably priced. This has by far been the best thing we have done in pigeon forge.

Just wanted to write a special thank you to the kids running the River Rush ride! We had waited in line, but when we got to the ride, my 7 year old niece became really scared and started to cry. These folks stopped the ride, and "babysat" her when we all rode the ride! They talked her down, and tried to get her to be brave enough to ride it! In the end, they let my other niece take her place, so I think they got to ride it twice! Here's a shout out to Mikayla and Austin, who were so kind to all of us, even though they didn't need to be! You two made your moms proud today! Well done! I hope my kids grow up to be as empathetic and as caring as you both were last weekend!

I had a great time at splash's country! My family had a wonderful time riding the rides and enjoying the pools especially the lazy river. The food was good, and I appreciate the free refills with the Dollywood cup purchase. So family friendly and affordable! Best water park I've been too. The lines we not that long the day we went but it's worth the extra money for the fast pass.

Reasonable prices on certain days. We really enjoyed all the slides and rides, though several were closed. Definitely a one day visit will suffice. Kid friendly. We did wait over an hour to order our lunch, however, which was a bummer. Otherwise no issues other than understaffing.
