About The Book

A must-have for Dolly Parton fans everywhere, this unofficial guide features 100 of the must-try restaurants, iconic rides and attractions, and important landmarks at Dollywood and its sister parks.

Dollywood is a unique and incredible theme park that’s best known for its amusement park thrills, traditional Smoky Mountain inspiration, and, of course, insight into namesake and owner Dolly Parton. There’s a lot to see and do—and it can be easy to miss out on all Dollywood and its nearby sister parks have to offer. The Ultimate Guide to Dollywood is your one-stop shop for all things Dollywood! You’ll get insider advice on everything from the food to the rides and learn all the best tips and tricks to make the most of your visit.
-Want to try the world’s fastest roller coaster? The Lightning Rod is not only the fastest…it’s also the first wood launch coaster.
-Looking for an attraction that will really excite the biggest Dolly Parton fans? Check out Dolly’s $750,000 tour bus that was her “home” for fifteen years of touring, parked right in the Adventures in Imagination section of Dollywood.
-Are you a history buff? The Dollywood Express, which takes visitors on a five-mile ride through the Great Smoky Mountains, actually played a key role in America’s war effort during World War II.
-Searching for the inside scoop on all things Dollywood? Check out Red’s Drive-In, where you’ll be able to impress fellow visitors with the fun fact that this restaurant was named after Red’s Café, where six-year-old Dolly ate her first hamburger.

About The Author

Erin K. Browne is the blogger and photographer behind Brownie Bites, where she shares approachable, easy recipes that are as fun to make as they are to eat. She especially loves pop culture and fandom-inspired recipes, with Dollywood being a major source of such inspiration as the park is just a short drive from her home. Outside of the kitchen, Erin enjoys reading in a cozy chair, hiking in the mountains, and exploring the country in her family’s RV. She currently lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, with her husband, Matt, her two children, Jasper and Shelby, her goofball corgi, Dewey, and the sweetest kitty who ever lived, Ham.
