5. Ride the Dollywood Express

Take in the amazing views of the Smoky Mountains when you ride the Dollywood Express. This coal-fired steam engine takes riders on a scenic 5-mile tour through the foothills. This family-favorite activity is a can’t-miss ride at the park. The particular locomotives at Dollywood were constructed in the late 1930s to early 1940s for American war efforts during WW11. Experienced part of history and make sure you get a seat on the Dollywood Express during your next visit.
