Pigeon Forge is one of Tennessee's liveliest tourist destinations, located adjacent to the state's entrance to the majestic Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The resort town, which is located in Sevier County, is best known as the home of premiere theme park Dollywood, owned by country singer Dolly Parton.
Visitors can enjoy high and mild thrill rides throughout the year at the park, including acclaimed launched wooden roller coaster Lightning Rod, wing roller coaster Wild Eagle, and looping roller coaster Tennessee Tornado. Dinner theaters line the city's bustling Parkway, including Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, The Comedy Barn, and the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud. Larger-than-life attractions are showcased at the Titanic Museum and the Hollywood Wax Museum. Visitors can also enjoy excellent opportunities for go-karting, miniature golf, outlet shopping, and Southern-style dining throughout the city. Each winter, the city's Winterfest event lights up the Parkway with millions of Christmas lights.
