Places to “Sit a Spell” at Dollywood

Assuming you are familiar with my favorite theme park, there are a few things we all know about Dollywood: you will have numerous options for dining, there are dozens of rides and attractions, and there’s not a place inside the gate that doesn’t offer breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Dollywood’s natural mountain terrain can be a workout, but have no fear! The park offers several rest stops along the way for family members who need to take a break.

Whether you are high on the hills of Wilderness Pass, across the tracks in The Village or taking in the beauty of Craftsman’s Valley, you can always find a great spot to “sit a spell” and let the park’s mountain air recharge your batteries for that next round of fun!
