Treat your kids to a special holiday gift this year with a visit to the Smoky Mountain Christmas festival at Dollywood! This award-winning event is a delight for children of all ages and a fantastic way to create a new family Christmas tradition! Here are the top 4 reasons why your kids will love visiting the Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood:
1. Drone Show
One of the things that kids love most about the Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood is the opportunity to see an incredible drone show! During the show, the sky comes to life as hundreds of festive drones light up the night. This is especially popular among families because the use of drones means kids won’t be scared by loud noises and can instead listen to festive tunes throughout the show. The Joyful! Season of Light drone show at Dollywood occurs nightly during Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood.
2. Visit With Santa Claus
While Santa Claus is certainly busy in December as he prepares for his annual Christmas duties, he has set time aside in his schedule to greet all the children at Dollywood and let them know if they’re on Santa’s Nice List! Watch the magical interaction with Santa as your kids spend a few minutes with Ole Saint Nick and discuss everything they want for Christmas this year! This is also a chance to create some fun and unique craft items and experience the excitement of larger-than-life-sized toys!
3. Ride a Roller Coaster
The holiday festivities are just one part of the Smoky Mountain Christmas at Dollywood, as all of the park’s roller coasters and thrill rides are open for your kids to enjoy! While some rides may close due to extremely cold temperatures or other inclement weather conditions, it is business as usual in the park! This means that your kids can experience the Firechaser Express, Mystery Mine, Thunderhead, Whistle Punk Chaser and all of the other exciting roller coasters at Dollywood!
4. Enjoy a Train Ride
For a fun attraction that the entire family can enjoy together, hop aboard the Dollywood Express! This steam powered train ride takes you on a scenic 20 minute journey through the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, where you can witness some of the most beautiful views in the region! After taking a daytime excursion, go for a second ride at night for a unique perspective of the millions of holiday lights at Dollywood!
