Steve’s take
Dolly Parton's theme park, and it is absolutely wonderful. The rides are great, the shows are genuinely entertaining, the cinnamon bread from the Grist Mill is worth the drive alone, and the whole place has a warmth to it that the mega parks in Orlando don't match. If your road trip to Florida allows a one-day detour in the Smokies, Dollywood is the play. Your kids get a theme park day, you get mountain views and live bluegrass, and Dolly gets to be Dolly. Everyone wins.
