Day Trippin’: The lights are still up at Dollywood

If you’re looking for a fun day or overnight trip during New Year’s, you might want to set your sights on Dollywood.

Surrounded by the picturesque Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, this theme park offers something for everyone in the family. There are rides for thrillseekers and the faint of heart, a variety of shows, and plenty of family dining options.

Go by day and enjoy the fun; stay ’til dark and marvel at the lights.

Each night from now through January 4, the theme park lights up with over 5-million Christmas lights as part of Dollywood’s annual Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration.

The park will close for the winter on January 5 and will reopen on March 14, 2020. (Click HERE for operating dates and times.) So, if you’re lookin’ to go day trippin’ at Dollywood, better make your plans now. And hey, while you’re there, look up our friends Barry and Linda Church and wish them a Happy New Year.
