Reservations are required for all guests, including season passholders. To ensure the safety and health of all guests and staff, Dollywood has implemented new guidelines. Some of these guidelines include:

  • Limited daily capacity – Season Passholder Reservations are required, and date-based tickets will be available for general admission.
  • Face masks or face coverings are required for everyone ages 3 and up. Exceptions where masks are not required are while eating, on water park attractions, or select coasters at Dollywood.
  • Temperature screenings will be taken prior to entry.
  • All guests will be screened with a 4 question health assessment prior to entry.
  • Attraction and dining capacities will be limited to allow guests more space to move around during their visit.
  • Physical distancing measures have been put in place, including distanced queues, marked barriers and social distancing reminders.
  • Additional sanitation measures have been implemented throughout the park. High touch point areas are being cleaned more frequently, and additional hand-sanitizing stations have been placed throughout Dollywood.

While most of the rides, restaurants and experiences throughout the park will be open, select experiences will not be available during this phase. Indoor areas where adequate physical distancing can’t be achieved will remain closed.
