Pigeon Forge is a tiny mountain town in eastern Tennessee that is very well known to the fans of country music, especially those of Dolly Parton. She put her town on the map by opening Dollywood, an Appalachian-themed amusement park with some fantastic rides. Just next to it is Splash Country, a huge water park with slides and rides, pools and lazy rivers. There is also a museum of Dolly’s costumes and memorabilia. All around the fun parks are restaurants and music venues and you can hear country music from every corner. The Titanic Museum is probably not going to have any country music, but it does have a fascinating exhibition of artifacts that tell the tragic story of the unfortunate ocean liner. Another fun spot to visit is the Hollywood Wax Museum, featuring life-sized wax figures of Hollywood stars with which visitors can take photos.
