It seems that this is one of the hottest summer on record, but that’s no reason to have second thoughts about taking a Dollywood vacation. There are lots of ways to stay cool at the park this summer. One of the most obvious things you could do is visit Dollywood’s Splash Country, the world-class water park that’s next door to the original theme park. But even if you plan to stick with Dollywood, you won’t necessarily be beat by the heat.

For one thing, Dollywood is well landscaped, with lots of shady areas for staying out of the sun. Some of the less shaded areas of the park also have large fans that spray fine mists of water to help guests cool off. You can also stay cool with a cold drink or frozen dessert treat. If you’re on a budget, you can get free cups of ice water from most Dollywood food vendors.

Then, of course, there are the wet rides, like Smoky Mountain River Rampage, Daredevil Falls, the Smoky Mountain Slidewinder and River Battle—Pigeon Forge attractions that are guaranteed to give you a good dousing at one point or another! Finally, don’t forget about Dollywood’s many indoor shops, theaters and attractions, including DP’s Celebrity Theatre, the Adventures in Imagination motion-ride theater and the Chasing Rainbows museum.

And thanks again for making The Fun-Lover’s Guide to Dollywood your source for practical, usable Dollywood information!
