• Train ride and McKamey's show was very good.
• Too much expensive for family park, too much waiting in line.

“I visited the park on Oct. 9th, 2008 with my wife, my brother and his wife. I was not impressed with the overall experience as most of our time was spent standing in line. First, after paying $8 to park, we had to stand in line for the tram to the park. After arriving at the park we had to stand in line to purchase tickets for the four of us. By that time it was lunch time and we stood in line to get a hamburger, fries and soda for $11 plus each. Another 40 minutes in line to take a 25 minute train ride. We then waited in line another 1 1/2 hours to get into the Celebrity Theater for a 45 minute show. Another 45 minutes in line for the tram to the parking lot and the day was complete.”

• The shows and food.
• So far away from Indy

“Dolly wood is a very family friendly park, with lots of included shows, an exciting trip on a coal fired locomotive pulled train, lots of good food, and some very interesting exhibits like the eagle enclosure where they keep injured eagles and raise eagles to be released in the wild. Lots of rides and the state fair area brings back lots of memories for a lot of us. A must do if you are going to the PF/ GB area.”

• None.
• They want your money.

“My family and I went to dolly wood December 2007 and were very disappointed. My kids had traveled from England and I felt very guilty after the trip for taking them to such a disappointing place. It cost $206 for 5 of us to get in .plus $7 for parking! My first impression once inside was that the place is geared to taking every dollar you have left, after paying the extortionate entry fee, before you leave. We must have walked past 20+ stores before we even saw any amusements. My kids expected rides, rides and more rides .they didn't want to buy oil paintings, cowboy hats, romantic novels, leather jackets or glass oil burners! When we eventually found some rides, which to be honest didn't take that long as the place is tiny, we were very disappointed. The rides, except for perhaps 2 rollercoasters are the sort of things you expect to see at low budget street fairs. The place is best avoided you are far better off to spend your hard earned $ in pigeon forge at such places as wonderworks, the theaters and the go kart tracks etc. Alternatively head for Kentucky, six flags is far better and far cheaper.”

• if you arrive after 3pm you get to return the next day free.

“The people are so friendly from the time you enter the parking lot and get on the tram to time you get into the park and see and do everything and get back on the tram to leave. They have things to do and see for all ages from ages 1-91.”
