Pick the right ticket in two minutes

Most visitors choose between three things.

Cheapest

Pick-A-Day

You choose the date when you buy, and the price varies by day. It is the lowest listed price, but the ticket is only good on the date you picked.

How it compares →

Good-Any-Day

Valid on any operating day in the 2026 season. It costs about $5 more per adult for a one-day ticket, and it is the safer pick if your plans might move.

How it compares →

Season Pass

Starts at $169.99 for Silver, so it can pay for itself in two visits. Gold adds free general parking and a longer validity window.

Where to buy (and where not to)

Dollywood sells its own tickets and passes. That is the only place we send you.

Buy from Dollywood

Day tickets and passes are sold on dollywood.com. Resort and cabin stays can be booked by phone at 1-800-365-5996 (1-800-DOLLYWOOD). Groups of 15 or more have their own page.

Be careful with everyone else

Social-media sellers, “too good to be true” discounts and used passes are the usual ways visitors lose money. Season passes are non-transferable and day tickets are date-specific.
