Dollywood

Dollywood is a nice relaxing themepark without all the crowds that goes with it. We went during off season and it was great, hardly any lines at all. I've been before and will probably go again lots of times. Dollywood is about 30 percent Shows, 30 percent crafts and shops, and 40 percent Rides, so be prepared to spend some money if you like shopping.
