Purchase Your Dollywood Ticket
As you plan your trip, let’s look at your Dollywood ticket options so you can enjoy Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood this holiday season.
1-Day Ticket
This Dollywood ticket is perfect for one unforgettable day filled with lights, music, and mountain magic. A one-day admission is great if you want to enjoy Dollywood and still have time to explore other nearby attractions. You can experience it all in a single day, but we recommend starting early to make the most of your visit.
2-Day Ticket – Our Top pick
The Dollywood 2-day ticket is deal for slowing down and taking it all in. You’ll have one day for daytime rides and shows, and another to experience the glow after dark. This is our recommendation: if you can, take two days. It gives you time to relax, enjoy the lights, and soak up every bit of that Smoky Mountain magic.
🎄 Take your time: Get your Dollywood 2-Day tickets here and enjoy two full days of Smoky Mountain Christmas magic.
🎡 One Day at Dollywood… or All Year?
If you plan to visit Dollywood more than once, you can upgrade your one-day ticket to a 2026 Season Pass at the front gate ticket windows before you leave the park. That upgrade usually lets you enjoy the rest of Smoky Mountain Christmas 2025 and then come back for even more Dollywood fun throughout 2026. 🎄
Dollywood Holiday Hours
During Smoky Mountain Christmas (November 1, 2025 – January 4, 2026), Dollywood is open 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM on most event days, with extended hours until 10:00 PM on select weekends.
The park will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day so team members can celebrate with their families.
Plan Your Smoky Mountain Getaway
- 🏠 Smoky Mountain Cabins — Find cozy cabins for families, couples, or anyone who loves mountain views after a day at Dollywood.
- 🏨 Nearby Hotels — Stay close to Dollywood and enjoy all the Christmas lights, dining, and fun in Pigeon Forge.
- 🚗 Car Rentals — Make travel easy and explore more of the Smokies at your own pace with a comfortable rental car.
Dollywood Parking Information
Parking at Dollywood is $25 per vehicle for most standard-sized cars. Oversized vehicles, such as RVs and trailers, have a slightly higher rate and are directed to a designated area.
Accessible parking is available near the main entrance for guests with disabilities. A valid disability license plate or hang-tag must be displayed, and the regular parking fee still applies.
🚗 Trekkn Tip: Arrive early for the best parking spots, especially on busy holiday weekends. It’s also helpful to note your parking section (trust me, I usually snap a pic of the section I’m in — because I’ll forget! 😊). After a full day of Christmas lights and fun, it makes heading home a little easier!
