Dollywood Opening Date 2020

Dollywood is opening June 15th and 16th for Dollywood Season Passholders and June 17th for all other guests.  However, due to the recent COVID-19 guidelines set by the state of Tennessee, this season will look a little different.

A number of new safety and sanitary measures have been put in place by the park ensuring safety of all staff and visitors.

  1. Daily capacity will be limited – reservations are required to enter the park for everyone, including season passholders.
  2. Face masks or a facial covering is required for all visitors aged 3 and up.  Of course, some exceptions are made for visitors under age 3, while eating or drinking, while on a water ride or a select rollercoaster.  Masks will be provided for guests who do not bring their own.
  3. All guests will have their temperatures taken before entering the park via touchless methods.  Guests with a temperature of 100.4, as well as those who arrived in the same vehicle, will not be admitted to the park.
  4. Attractions, rides, and dining capacities will be limited to allow for guests to have more space and follow social distancing guidelines.
  5. Distancing measures are in place.  Lines will be distanced, marked barriers, and social distancing reminders will be seen throughout the park.
  6. More sanitizing measures are in place.  High-touch and high-traffic areas will be cleaned more frequently.  Hand sanitizing stations, as well as hand washing stations, will be found throughout the park.
  7. Indoor areas and play areas where distancing is not possible will remain closed.
