Tips and Tricks
Before you make plans to visit Dollywood’s Splash Country, here are a few tips and tricks you may want to know ahead of time to make the day at the attraction hassle-free and full of fun!
- If you’re traveling with kids, check out the minimum height requirements on Splash Country’s Rides page. You may want to warn little ones ahead of time if there are rides they can’t go on just yet.
- Dollywood’s Splash Country color codes their rides to make it easy for you to plan your day (or days) of fun. A red triangle is for the dare devils of your group. An orange diamond is for moderate thrills. The yellow circle is for milder attractions, and a green square indicates shallow water and/or slower rides.
- With all the activity Splash Country has to offer, you’re bound to get hungry. Although you can’t bring food into the park, you’ll find plenty of options from pizzerias to grills inside the park. Kid-friendly meals are also available at many of these restaurants.
- Staying hydrated is an extremely important part of spending a day of fun in the sun, so Splash Country makes complimentary cups of water available to you at all the park’s restaurants and food stands. Bottled water is also available for purchase.
- If you want to avoid keeping up with your wallet or purse while enjoying Splash Country, try their Sunny Money cashless wristband payment system. Visit their Sunny Money page for more information.
