Dollywood & Doggywood Opens 2008 Season On March 21st


Spring is almost here and it's time for Dollywood to open for 2008. Start planning your Smoky Mountain trip now and don't forget your pooch. While you are enjoying all the new features at the Dollywood park, let your dog enjoy Dolly's famed - Doggywood!!


Although pets are not permitted inside Dollywood, the one-of-a-kind kennel, Doggywood®, is available for the convenience of Guests and their dogs. Service animals for Guests with disabilities are allowed inside Dollywood. Doggywood® is a one-of-a-kind, climate-controlled indoor dog care facility. Doggywood is constructed in the style of a rustic Smoky Mountain cabin. For owners who really want to “pamper their pooch,” four cottages are available, or smaller kennels are available. An additional amount will be charged for each additional dog sharing a kennel or cottage. Visit our Doggywood Information page for prices.


The daily rental fee provides each dog its own water supply, and a walk area is located adjacent to the building so owners can spend time with their pets without having to leave the park. Space is limited, and reservations are highly recommended. Please call 865-428-9826 during Park operating hours. Without a reservation, all kennels at Doggywood will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit our Doggywood Information page for more information. *Please note: Doggywood can only accommodate dogs. What more can your puppy-dog ask for??


Now while your furry friend enjoys Doggywood, you will find a new, $5 million dollar - River Battle Ride for the 2008 season beginning Friday, March 21, 2008. Dollywood will also add a 750-foot walkway to connect Timber Canyon with Craftsman’s Valley, reopen its Thunder Road attraction at Adventures in Imagination and host five spectacular festivals for the 2008 season. There is also a new entrance for 2008 to improve traffic flow into the theme park.
