Dollywood becomes home to America’s most treasured bird with Eagle Mountain Sanctuary

Dolly and Dollywood partnered with the American Eagle Foundation to bring the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary to Dollywood. The 1.5 million-cubic-foot naturally landscaped outdoor aviary provides a home to the world’s largest presentation of “non-releasable” bald eagles.

Also included in this expansion was the Wings of America theatre built next door to the sanctuary. It featured the Birds of Prey Show. Dolly and Dollywood are both proud to host the sanctuary and these amazing birds.

The 400-seat Valley Theatre also opened new in 1991. Located in Craftsman’s Valley, it provided yet another stage to showcase the incredible entertainment available to Dollywood guests.
