If you plan on visiting our beloved East Tennessee theme park more than once in a year, then purchasing a Dollywood season pass is definitely worth it. Plus, there are other great benefits for season pass holders in all tiers. Check out the breakdown below and find more information about this year’s Dollywood prices on our site.
2026 Dollywood Season Pass Pricing
Dollywood Season Pass Types
There are two basic tiers for Dollywood season passes: silver and gold. The most affordable option is the silver pass, which includes access to the park for the majority of the year (excluding blackout dates for the latter half of their Smoky Mountain Christmas event), discounts on dining and shopping, and more perks listed below. The gold season pass includes those benefits and more, such as a free Bring-A-Friend ticket, discounts on TimeSaver passes and preferred parking, and access to the park the entire open season.
Dining Pass: All of the different tiers explained above include an option to add on a dining pass. These passes allow for two-park entry (both to Dollywood and Dollywood’s Splash Country) and include one meal and one snack at Splash Country.
New for 2026: Summer Fun Pass
In addition to the silver and gold passes, Dollywood now offers a Summer Fun Season Pass at a lower price than the regular silver season pass. This type of pass allows for visitation from April 18 through September 13. If you are interested in visiting the park as well as Splash Country, the two-park option in the Summer Fun tier is perfect for you.
2026 Season Pass Types & Benefits
Benefits of Season Passes
With any of the season passes, it’s worth the cost if you plan on visiting Dollywood more than once in a year. The new Summer Fun Pass (April through September) is great for visitors that want to visit during warm weather months. If you want to visit during December, the gold pass is the way to go. The gold season pass also includes 15% off select dining and merchandise within the park, $5 off a Dollywood TimeSaver pass, discounts on tours and $5 off preferred parking.
BAFF: Bring A Friend Free
The Bring-A-Friend Free ticket is a wonderful benefit to Dollywood’s gold season passes. With this perk, you can bring a friend or family member with you on your trip to Dollywood and they can get in free for the day. Additionally, both the silver and gold passes offer two day passes at a discounted price for friends and family.
Season Pass Payment Plans
All versions of the season pass include the option of a six month payment plan. For the silver pass you can pay eight payments of $21.25 plus tax, and for the gold pass you can pay eight payments of $30.62 plus tax. The summer pass is divided into payments of $16.87. All plans include the cheaper options for child and senior pricing as well. For more ways to save money, check out our Dollywood discount tickets page.
