Adjacent to Dollywood theme park, Dolly opened Dolly's Splash Country in 2001. The water adventure park sits on 35 acres and is a $20 million investment featuring a 25,000 sq.-ft. wave pool, a family raft ride, a lazy river, an interactive children’s area, multi-person tube rides, two “extreme” body slides, shaded lounge areas and a restaurant.
Amusement fans now have two summer experiences when they visit Dollywood: roller coasters or wave pools. The waterpark operates Memorial Day to Labor Day.
