Don’t all of you that are complaining get it???? Sevier County Days actually HELPS out the Sevier County Food Ministries! So in actuality you are helping to provide to others in your community with your $5 donation. The $5 donation IS what helps the food ministries and therefore your ticket into Dollywood theme parks is actually STILL free!!!! Paying a small amount of $12 for parking allows for you to have a shuttle take you to the front of the park (in the case of Dollywood) and helps those in your community that need jobs to have them during the season since they are the parking attendants and ticket sales workers! Get a grip, people, seriously! Maybe it is time you stop thinking of yourselves and think of others just once!
Heck you still couldn’t afford it because they still gouge you with 12 dollar parking! Come on Dollywood , if you are going to discount it for us locals then DO IT! I paid 12 bucks last week for parking only to find out splash country was closed for weather. NO refund. I was out 12 bucks, thanks for nothing Dollywood! And we all bring tons of relatives to your park every year…..why am I even typing…YOU DON’T CARE
You can park at Patriot Park and ride the fun time trolley. It’s right down the road and they drop you off and pick you up right at the gate to, lol, which is awesome. It’s .50 cents per person going and coming.

Hello, my name is Apryl, I am a mother of 6 beautiful kids. For a family of 8 it is difficult to take our family to awesome places like Splash Country and Dollywood due to the prices. I would like to ask if you would please allow Cocke County residents to your “Seveir” County days ($5) days. For a family of our size this would be a blessing, you would bring BIG smiles to our faces. 🙂 thank you in advance.
Parking is still 12 bucks. Ridiculous
And a required 5 dollar donation…I remember when parking was like 5 bucks and sevier county days were actually free admission and you could get a few people in with one ID…now it is like going to the DMV
