Splash Country Tickets
Dollywood's Splash Country is a separate water park requiring separate admission. Splash Country operates seasonally from late spring through early fall and features water slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and family water attractions.
Splash Country Day Tickets
Similar pricing structure to Dollywood tickets, with 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day options. Prices are typically slightly lower than Dollywood theme park tickets but still represent a significant expense if purchasing separately.
Best For:
- One-time water park visitors
- Adding a water park day to a Dollywood-focused trip
- Testing out Splash Country before committing to a season pass
Two-Park Combo Tickets
Combo tickets provide admission to both Dollywood and Splash Country. Available in 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day options. More economical than buying separate tickets for each park.
Best For:
- Visitors planning to see both parks
- Summer trips combining theme park and water park
- Families wanting both experiences in one vacation
