点评:We absolutely loved our visit to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee — it felt so charming and personal compared to larger parks like Disney, and at about half the price for a day ticket, it was incredible value.
We visited in mid-April after the Easter holidays and were pleasantly surprised by a special discount where everyone paid kids’ prices. Even better, the park was wonderfully uncrowded — we barely waited for anything, except for the nostalgic classic cars, which were about a 10-minute wait at most.
One of the things we really appreciated was how guest-friendly the park is. You are allowed to bring an empty reusable water bottle, and there are refill stations everywhere with free water. On top of that, all food vendors happily provide free ice water as well — such a thoughtful touch compared to other parks where bottled water can cost up to $5.
We enjoyed a wonderful mix of attractions: the original steam train, bumper cars, nostalgic car rides, the SkyLift, and the Fire Rescue Coaster. We also explored the Dolly exhibitions and watched two fantastic shows — “Heidi Parton’s Kin & Friends,” starring Heidi Parton, and “From the Heart – The Life and Music of Dolly Parton,” both very entertaining and heartfelt.
We even shared a slice of the frozen chocolate-covered cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious and more than enough for two.
What stood out most was the friendliness of everyone in the park and how beautifully it is set in the mountains. The landscaping and themed buildings feel natural and authentic, not artificial like in some other parks.
There are also plenty of thrilling roller coasters, but even with minimal wait times, we simply couldn’t fit everything into one day.
Overall, it was a truly special experience — relaxed, beautiful, and full of heart. We would absolutely come back.
翻译:我们非常喜欢在田纳西州鸽子谷的杜莱坞主题公园 (Dollywood) 的游玩——与迪士尼等大型主题公园相比,这里更显魅力,也更有人情味。而且一日票的价格只有迪士尼的一半左右,性价比超高。
我们在复活节假期后的四月中旬去的,惊喜地发现当时有儿童票的特别优惠。更棒的是,公园里人不多——除了复古老爷车(最多也就等个十分钟)之外,我们几乎不用排队。
我们特别欣赏的是公园对游客的友好程度。你可以自带空的环保水瓶,而且到处都有免费的饮用水补给站。此外,所有食品摊位都免费提供冰水——这真是太贴心了,要知道其他公园的瓶装水动起来可能要5美元。
我们体验了各种各样的游乐项目:蒸汽火车、碰碰车、复古老爷车、空中缆车和消防救援过山车。我们还参观了多莉·帕顿的展览,并观看了两场精彩的演出——由海蒂·帕顿主演的《海蒂·帕顿的亲友》和《发自内心——多莉·帕顿的生平与音乐》,两场演出都非常精彩感人。
我们还分享了一块冰冻巧克力芝士蛋糕,味道好极了,分量也足够两个人吃。
最令人印象深刻的是公园里每个人的友善,以及它依山而建的优美环境。园林景观和主题建筑都给人一种自然真实的感觉,不像其他一些公园那样显得人工痕迹太重。
这里也有很多惊险刺激的过山车,但即使排队时间很短,我们一天之内也无法体验所有项目。
总而言之,这是一次非常特别的体验——轻松惬意、风景优美、充满温情。我们一定会再来的。
