We had two year old with us and put him in a booster seat. he was fine with the whole thing.

Closer to $70.

This was the highlight of the trip We didn't know that My mom read the wrong time so we came after to show it already started. The police officer wasn't very nice and was like hurry up and get up there and already started. Clearly we didn't know. We get there everyone's super friendly and we get our drinks and they sit us down there. And the food was okay. I would definitely say you're not coming for just the food. Mac and cheese was not very good at all but everything else is pretty good. My youngest loved the chicken. I would definitely recommend a different dessert but that's just me. The show itself is amazing. It's hard to know where to watch because it's always changing. I would definitely be back but the show did have a few boring parts like the octopuses and jellyfish part was kind of too drawn out. But everyone else was super friendly and we were sitting front rows so they were totally in character the whole time

I truly loved the show! This is exciting/action entertainment for the whole family. From the time you get inside the Pirates Voyage pre show to the show It's self. I must admit, I want sure what to expect, but the show turned out to be a highlight in my stay in Myrtle Beach!!! The food and service was just as fun. Everyone is in costume and just as much as the show! Everyone at the Pirates Voyage was all part of such a fun experience. Thank you Pirates Voyage for a great memory!

This show was honestly amazing though it was my first time,I definitely recommend coming back again...the food was fantastic! I definitely enjoyed having my blue non-alcoholic drink. The chicken was really good,I didn't eat the ham, everything else was amazing,I was a little too full to eat the apple turnover(though I wish I should've finished it). Over all I enjoyed the experience and will hopefully come back during the summer time.

We loved the dinner & show! Reservations were easy to do online and very reasonable. We attended the 8:30pm showing and would highly recommend. Great for children and adults. Servers were great and the production was very well done! Interactive and so much fun! While in Myrtle Beach, a must see! Thank you so much. Oh ya, there were also souvenir cups and photographs for $40; additional 2nd photo as well for separate price.

We attended the show today with a large family group. The show was much better than we expected. Very enjoyable. The lunch was very hearty and tasty. 2 of us ordered the gluten free which provided a gluten free roll, half a baked potato and a warm gluten free snickerdoodle cookie for dessert. Otherwise the lunch was the same 1/2 chicken, slice of ham, and corn cob. All was well cooked, hot when delivered and tasty. I would highly recommend this dinner show even though the price is kinda high, it's a well done show.

Wonderful experience for the whole family at a great price. A must do while in Myrtle Beach.

Pirate Voyage

First time my lady and I did something like this. It was a pirate show with a dinner.(Dolly Parton company.). The show was fantastic, nonstop and food was very good. You sat it a long table with other people in your row and they brought out the Mara to you. The only thing I can say it was difficult to eat and keep watching everything going on. Well, worth it, I would do it again!

The couple my husband and myself were traveling with - we all had such a great time at this place. We highly recommend coming here. I expected the show to be full blown cheesy sword fights and pirate puns, and instead I was impressed by the acrobatics of the cast members. Plus there's a seal and parrots. Our food was great. Something I'm sure almost everyone can enjoy. Soup, roast chicken, ham, corn on the cob, potato and apple turnover. Our server was on it with service. (Sarah Jade? I'm not 100% sure on her name but she was doing a great job!) 10/10 would definitely recommend. Plus it's a Dolly production. You know it's going to be wonderful.

I love this place! What's better than dinner and a live show?! Food is yummy for the experience, most of it is finger food, show is fun, keeps you engaged and excited throughout. There's a pre show where you can shop around, have a drink, and hangout. It's a fun experience especially if you've never done this!

I came here on New Years Day for the 6pm show. I really wanted to see this when I passed it in Pigeon Forge but never got around to it so decided to see it in Myrtle Beach when I was there for vacation. I was a little disappointed that it was a Christmas show, not the "real/normal" show, but actually it was great! I had SO much fun here. They had acrobatics, seals, parrots, dogs and more. The food was good too with a wide assortment of different things. However, this was quite pricy for $162 for 2 people but overall, it was very fun. The service was quick and very informative too if you had questions. Would I be back? For the regular show, yes. I want to see that. Would I recommend? Yes! At least once.

It was difficult to eat because I didn’t want to miss a second of the show! The dives the pirates performed from the catapult were phenomenal. Well worth the money.

A Classic Myrtle Must

It’s everything it says it is and more! Salty the sea lion was the prefect touch! The flying tropical birdies had me so happy! And the food is good! So you should to! 💜💜💜💜💜

Amazing Pirates Voyage!

Pirates Voyage food is great and the Christmas show was wonderful. I love how they incorporated the Nativity into this show.

Pirates Voyage is a new family favorite!

This past summer we made our first trip to Pirates Voyage. I can't possibly tell you how much my son and I enjoyed it. It was well worth the money! He can't wait to go back. I wasn't sure if he would be entertained or get bored but, he was completely consumed in the show. He did the "dress up" before the show and I can say it was the best $20 I spent! We felt like we were part of the show just sitting in our seats. For a 6 year old, he even loved the food! I can guarantee we will be back at Pirates Voyage on our next Myrtle Beach vacation.

Arrg matey!

This is a unique experience for the whole family. We really enjoyed this show!

An Unforgettable Evening at the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

By Jason Barnette | Travel writer and photographer with 15+ years of road tripping experience

• Last Updated on May 13, 2024

I have a confession to make: I had never been to a dinner theater show before. I’m not really sure why because I’ve certainly come across them during all my travels. But I had always some other place, usually a local place, to have dinner. This past Friday night I decided it was time to remedy this gap in my travel adventures: I traveled up the coast to Myrtle Beach and spent an evening at the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.

The Pirates Village

The evening began in the Pirates Village, a large two-story space with a stage at one end, tables across the first floor, and three-tier seating around the second floor gallery. The tables are small and meant more for just hanging out for awhile before the main event. I opted to grab a seat on the second floor gallery at the edge of the railing with a pretty good view below.

There was a bar on each floor and waiters/waitresses walking around taking orders. The food was limited to nachos with cheese, popcorn, and a salty pretzel but the bar had plenty of beers on tap and specialty cocktails. I figured this was an appropriate time to have a Corona with a slice of lime and enjoy the show.

[readmore title=”Read More”] Top 5 Beaches in South Carolina [/readmore]

People were quiet at first. A slideshow on the main screen displayed trivia questions. What was the name of Blackbeard’s ship? What is a pirate swab? What does Ahoy mean? Each question was accompanied with four choices. One incorrect answer at a time would fade away to finally reveal the correct answer. And each time the slideshow would tell people to clap or shout “Aye” if they got it right. At first the crowd was quiet but as the hundreds of people began filling the tables the shouts from correct answers got louder.

With an hour to go until the main event a pirate with a guitar (not sure this was ever a thing for pirates) walked into the middle of the first floor and began the pre-show entertainment. Pirates songs, sing-a-longs with the crowd, and learning pirate vocabulary kept us going for awhile. There was juggling, gravity-defying balancing acts, and moments of magic on the main stage. A woman came out with Salty, a giant seal, for a few minutes of fun. Salty was smart ass and the rowdy crowd loved it.

Buccaneer Bay

Fortunately for me the entrance into Buccaneer Bay, the main dining hall, was just behind where I was sitting in the second floor gallery. I joined the massive crowd as we slowly sauntered into the space. At first it was a bit dark and there was something blocking my view straight ahead. But as soon as I turned the corner and caught sight of the entire space I broke out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

Buccaneer Bay was probably as long as a football field and as tall as a basketball coliseum. The stern of a massive pirate vessel stuck out of the wall at each end, with a large flat platform shaped like a pirate vessel in the center surrounded by water. Water. There was so much water. It looked like it was only a few feet deep but it was a deep azure like the kind of water you’d expect to find in Nassau.

The seating had been cleverly designed to provide the largest number of guests with the best view. Five tiers of tables stretched along both side of the bay with chairs on the side facing the water. Each tier in front of the next was about three feet lower so even while standing no one ever blocked your view of the entertainment. There was just enough room on the opposite side of the table for the waiters and waitresses to move back and forth.

Almost as soon as the last stragglers found their table the action started in the bay below. You should probably think of Pirates Voyage as more Pirates of Penzance than Pirates of the Caribbean. Again I erupted into laughter as music boomed throughout the bay, pirates somersaulted across the stage, and more pirates spun down ropes hanging from the ceiling. With a flash and a boom the entertainment had begun. The entertainment lasted throughout the meal with perfect timing. Sword fights, dazzling displays of fire and light, friendly competitions, and pirates swinging over and diving into the water. At times even members of the audience were selected to participate in competitions.

The Four Course Dinner

I was treated to a full four-course dinner throughout the show. I didn’t get a choice of what I could eat (but they do have vegetarian and gluten free alternatives) but that’s okay because it was a great meal anyway. My waiter, a nice man named Nathaniel, first came by to fill my goblet with sweet tea (fitting drink of choice considering how often tea was stolen from Charles Town by pirates).

The next time I saw Nathaniel was just after the show began. He dropped a piece of delicisou Buccaneer Bread onto my plate and few minutes later returned to fill my bowl with Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup. After this was done Nathaniel returned carrying a large metal sheet of Half O’ Roasted Cackler, or chicken in layman’s terms. It was some of the most tender chicken I’d ever eaten that literally fell of the bones. Nathaniel continued to return every few minutes with Captain BBQ Pork, Cob O’ Buttery Corn, and Pirate Herb-basted Potato.

[readmore title=”View More”] Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Photo Gallery [/readmore]

Nathaniel did a great job keeping my goblet filled and spent very little time blocking my view of the entertainment. Near the end of the show he returned with a warm Apple O’ Me Eye Pie (an apple turnover). I would see him one last time as he returned with warm towlets for cleaning off my fingers. Oh did I forget to tell you dinnerware is sparse and rarely allowed? It’s a pirate’s life for me!

Tips for the Best Experience

The Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is such a popular attraction and big event it’s easy for it to get out of hand. It is one of those place that can easily get a bit overwhelming for one-time travelers or first time visitors. So here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your experience.

• There are only one or two shows per night depending on the current schedule. You must buy a ticket for a particular time.
• Buy your tickets in advance online. You can choose the date and time you want to attend.
• You can buy tickets on site before the show but there is no guarantee you’ll get one because space is limited
• There is no difference between Crimson and Sapphire seating other than one is on the left side and the other the right side
• Seating is spread out across five tiers with Tier 5 at the top and Tier 1 at the bottom
• Preferred seating is the center three sections and Regular seating in the corners. You can see all the action from any seat in the house, though.
• Handicap seating is available on the top tier of Buccaneer Bay
• Doors open an hour and a half early
• Arrive early to find the best seat in Pirates Village for the pre-show entertainment
• While facing the stage sit on the left side of the second floor gallery for the quickest and easiest access to Buccaneer Bay
• Learn how to disable the flash on your phone or camera; this is required during the show
• Bring cash for your alcoholic drinks for easier and quicker ordering

At my first experience with the dinner show I sat in Section A5 on the Sapphire side. This was in a corner at the far end from the entrance. It was a great seat and I was able to fully enjoy the show. But in my opinion the best seat in the house is either Sapphire or Crimson Preferred on Tier 1 at the bottom. You’ll be courtside right in front of the action (and close enough for the pirates to yell at you from time to time).

Getting to Pirates Voyage

Finding lost treasure might’ve been difficult for pirates, but finding the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show really couldn’t get any easier if there was a giant “x” marked on your map.

The dinner show is located at the convergence of Highway 17 Business and Bypass at the north end of Myrtle Beach. From North Myrtle Beach take Highway 17 south. Stay in the second lane from the left heading toward Myrtle Beach Highway 17 Business. After the road splits you’ll pass under a bridge then you’ll see a sign for The Carolina Opry on the right; turn here to find Pirates Voyage.

From Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach you’ll take Highway 17 Business north. You’ll see The Carolina Opry sign on your left. There is a left turn lane but no traffic light. From other points around Myrtle Beach you’ll take Highway 17 Bypass (this road passes Broadway at the Beach). You’ll pass the Grand Strand Regional Hospital on your right. Just a minute or two later you’ll see a traffic light intersection just before the Pirates Voyage sign on the right. Turn at this traffic light, then immediately turn left.

Is the Pirate’s Voyage Show in Myrtle Beach Worth It?

• Pinterest 492

This Pirate’s Voyage review will help you decide whether the Myrtle Beach attraction is right for your family’s next beach trip. Thanks to our friends at Dollywood for hosting us for this fun event.

When traveling on a family vacation with tweens, it can get a little more challenging each year to find things to do that every member of the family enjoys at the same time.

During our recent family trip to Myrtle Beach, we got the chance to check out the Pirate’s Voyage dinner show as they launch their 10th season. It was by far our favorite experience from the entire weekend.

When I asked my youngest what she would tell other moms planning trips for their families about Pirate’s Voyage, she earnestly replied:

“It has everything you need! Food, family, and fun.”

She’s not wrong. How can you even argue that? I love that my little lady values the “family” portion of that statement so much that she included it as an essential for a good time.

The Pirate’s Voyage is a Dolly Parton production with locations in both Myrtle Beach and Pigeon Forge, TN. If anyone knows a thing about how to entertain a crowd, it is Miss Dolly Parton.

The kids were gasping, cheering, and laughing all throughout the show. At one point my daughter shouted: “Is that actually real?!”

Totally grinning, I glanced over at my husband to see his jaw hanging open and his eyes bulging wide.

We honestly couldn’t even believe what we were seeing on stage and our high expectations for the evening were far exceeded.

Every member of our family gives the show a hearty two thumbs up, we definitely recommend a visit if you happen to be in Myrtle Beach this year.

Want to know if the Pirate’s Voyage show is right for your family? Be sure to get the full details in my review below.

A complete Pirate’s Voyage review for families with kids:

What is the pirate’s voyage dinner show.

One part Vegas show plus one part Hollywood action movie meets one part family dinner night.

Imagine Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow performing with a Cirque du Soleil troupe over a 15-foot-deep indoor lagoon with movie-style stunts and special effects.

All while your family sits back and enjoys a 4-course meal delivered to your seats by pirate wenches.

The daring adventure features sword fights, blazing cannons, mystical mermaids and pirates scaling high above two full-sized pirate ships fighting to win Davy Jones’ coveted sunken treasure. The show is an epic battle for lost treasure on land, on deck, and in the water. Daring dock diving dogs, salty sea lions and tropical birds join in the quest and are truly a highlight of the experience.

Who will enjoy the live performance most?

This theater experience definitely caters to families with kids. While I’m pretty sure Tim and I would have loved it on our own for a date night, we really loved having the whole family attend.

TWEENS & TEENS:

There’s enough swashbuckling action to keep older kids engaged throughout the show. Our girls especially loved the live animals and special effects which included fire, fog, and cannons booming.

KIDS UNDER 8:

There are a few audience participation moments in the show that are included specifically for younger kids. The littles we saw helping out all seemed to be having the time of their lives.

Is it too scary? Some of the action sequences are very intense with loud booms and flashing lights. There is a scene where the theater gets really dark and the performers wear glow-in-the-dark skeleton suits that could frighten more timid kids.

Nothing bad happens to anyone in the show but there are action-packed sword fights where some pirates pretend to get stabbed and thrown into the water. There is no fake blood or anything gory at all and these scenes move super fast with no dwelling on anyone being injured.

Will both girls and boys like this show?

I can emphatically say there is something for everyone here.

The pirate crews are made up of both men and women pirates. The women are just as daring and adventurous as their counterparts, not just damsels in distress. I loved that one lady was Captain of a pirate ship.

On the other hand, there are sparkly mermaids and a bit of romance worked into the show as well. It isn’t all action, all the time.

For all four members of my family, the live animals were the biggest hit. It was such a fun surprise every time they’d pop up in the performance.

Where is the dinner theater?

You’ll find the Pirate’s Voyage theater at:

8907 N Kings Hwy Myrtle Beach, SC 29572 United States (US) Phone: (843) 497-9700

We were pleased to find ample parking in the theater lot so that doesn’t need to be a concern.

How to get tickets to the show and when to arrive:

You can order your tickets to the dinner show online at the Pirate’s Voyage web site here .

Depending on the timing of your trip, there are between 1 – 3 showtimes available. To take full advantage of your tickets, we highly recommend arriving at least an hour early before your show for the pre-show entertainment.

While you wait for the theater doors to open, you’ll find beverage and snack service along with live performances, face painting opportunities, and more.

NOTE: If you get tickets for seats in the first row, there’s a small chance you’ll get splashed during the show. Some of the pirates can get a bit feisty and do belly flops into the water. We didn’t get soaked, but a bit of a splash happened at the end of our meal that required extra napkins to mop up a bit. The amazing view was well worth it though.

What food is included in your pirate dinner? 

The dinner service during Pirate’s Voyage was wonderful. Our waitress took care of everything while we relaxed and watched the performance.

When you arrive at your seat, you’ll find your plate and a fork with napkins already waiting. The server comes through with each element of the dinner one item at a time so you always have something to nibble on while watching the show.

Our soda glasses never ran dry, she was always there with a refill.

A bar server also comes through taking orders for adult beverages if you desire. I tried a frozen peach-rum concoction that was out of this world and was served in a souvenir mug that my kids are currently fighting over.

The Pirate’s Voyage dinner menu includes:

• Fresh cheese biscuit, served warm
• Creamy veggie soup, served in a mug to sip
• Half a “cackler,” a pirate version of a roasted chicken. This was by far my daughter’s favorite item.
• Pulled pork with BBQ sauce served on the side
• Herb basted potato, our server called it a pirate french fry. Ha!
• Cob of corn
• Light and flaky apple turnover

It was more food than any of us could finish, you definitely will not go hungry.

Special dietary considerations:

This is the standard dinner meal that comes with your tickets but they do offer both a vegetarian and gluten-free dinner menu option if you need it. Just be sure to mention it at the time of your reservation.

Dolly Parton Abandons Dollywood For Florida Following Police Investigation, Opens New Themed Adventure

in Entertainment

Dolly Parton is setting her sights on Florida for her next themed venture, expanding past all she has accomplished with Dollywood, and moving into the theme park state.

The Story of Dollywood

Found within the Smoky Mountains, Dollywood has become synonymous with family fun and nostalgic charm. For over three decades, the park has served as a beloved destination, offering visitors a unique blend of thrilling rides, captivating shows, and a deep connection to the region’s heritage.

But Dollywood’s journey hasn’t always been under the warm glow of Dolly Parton’s signature style. This exploration delves into the park’s rich history, revealing the fascinating transformation from humble beginnings to a theme park giant.

Dollywood’s story starts not with dazzling fireworks, but with the chug of a steam train. In the early 1960s, the Robbins brothers envisioned a park transporting guests back to the Civil War era. They christened it “Rebel Railroad,” featuring a saloon, blacksmith shop, and general store, all set against the backdrop of simulated battles.

A decade later, Art Modell acquired the park, which had since been renamed “Goldrush Junction” and introduced attractions like a log flume ride and an outdoor theater. In 1976, Pete and Jack Herschend further shaped the park’s identity, transforming it into “Silver Dollar City Tennessee.” This period saw significant upgrades, including the iconic grist mill that still produces Dolly’s famous cinnamon bread today.

Dolly Parton’s love for the Smokies and her vision for a theme park resonated with the Herschend brothers. In 1986, a dream became reality as Dollywood was born. This marked the beginning of a new era, with the park infused with Dolly’s signature spirit.

The church was renamed in honor of her doctor, a museum celebrating her life story was established, and special events were revamped to reflect the park’s new heartbeat. The rebranding proved an instant success, with visitor numbers doubling in the first year and continuing to grow steadily ever since.

Originally featuring four distinct themed areas – Craftsman’s Valley, Rivertown Junction, Village Square, and Fun Country (later renamed County Fair) – Dollywood has continually expanded its footprint.

The 1990s ushered in the arrival of the Dentzel Carousel, replacing the Silver Dollar Saloon, alongside impressive additions like the Gaslight Theater, Valley Theater, and Eagle Mountain Sanctuary. A circular pathway was implemented, seamlessly connecting the park’s diverse offerings. New themed areas like Showstreet, Adventures in Imagination, Daydream Ridge (later Dreamland Forest), Timber Canyon, and Wilderness Pass further enriched the visitor experience.

These expansions paved the way for iconic attractions like the Wonder Wheel, Tennessee Tornado, Thunderhead Coaster, Swingamajig, Barnstormer, Amazing Flying Elephants, and Treetop Tower. Upgrades continued throughout the years, with the original carousel replaced by a modern counterpart.

Dollywood’s commitment to excellence extends beyond exhilarating rides. The park boasts a diverse culinary scene, from hearty comfort food at Aunt Granny’s Restaurant to delectable treats at Crossroads Funnel Cakes. Local artisans showcase their talents in various shops, offering everything from home décor and artwork to clothing, jewelry, and souvenirs.

Special events have also evolved, ensuring there’s always something new for returning guests. Throughout this evolution, Dollywood has never lost sight of its core values – creating lasting memories for families and fostering a deep connection to the Smoky Mountain spirit.

For a complete Smoky Mountain escape, Dollywood offers two on-site resorts. HeartSong Lodge & Resort, boasting luxurious accommodations and breathtaking mountain views, caters to families. DreamMore Resort and Spa, recently revitalized with a Dolly-inspired makeover, provides guests with priority park access and a taste of Parton’s signature hospitality. The addition of Dollywood’s Splash Country waterpark in later years further broadened the park’s appeal, offering a refreshing escape on hot summer days.

Most recently, one man had a cardiac arrest at the water park.

Dollywood confirmed a guest received medical attention from park lifeguards on Friday afternoon. They added in a statement that the guest “elected to exit the park for the remainder of the day” and refused further assistance.

Dollywood is in the midst of a major transformation, fueled by a $500 million investment over the next decade. Highlights of this renovation include the newly opened HeartSong Lodge & Resort, a luxurious getaway inspired by Dolly Parton’s affection for the Smoky Mountains. Another notable addition is The Dolly Parton Experience, a cutting-edge exhibit that reportedly brought Parton to tears.

This immersive experience, replacing the former Chasing Rainbows museum, takes visitors on a journey through Parton’s life, from her modest beginnings to her rise to global fame.

Dolly Parton Goes to Florida

While Dolly has done wonders at Dollywood, it seems her sights are set on a new venture in Florida.

Dolly Parton is expanding her Pirate’s Voyage Dinner and Show restaurant to Florida. Scheduled to open in 2025, the new 60,000-square-foot indoor theater will feature over 1,000 seats and a “four-course pirate’s feast.”

This will be the third location for the popular dinner show, following successful openings in Myrtle Beach, SC, and Pigeon Forge, TN. The new venue will be situated at Park Pier in Panama City Beach, in the Florida panhandle.

“I’m so excited about bringing this show to such a great destination,” Dolly said. “With pirates, mermaids, exciting acrobatics, pyrotechnics, and even a few songs that I wrote, it’s a show that is perfect for all ages.

My Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show has been a huge success in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and I knew that Panama City Beach was the perfect spot to open our third location,” Dolly said.

“Everyone knows that I dream big, so we are going ‘overboard’ with the details as we prepare everything – from the show to the four-course pirates feast to the exterior of the building itself. I told my folks to get started as soon as possible, so we’re breaking ground for construction in January!”, per Wesh .

For a taste of what is coming to Florida, take a look below:

While the show is not opening in Orlando, Florida is a massive tourist destination, with Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and so much more attracting millions to the state each year; adding Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is a great idea for instant guests, and an excellent way for Dolly to dabble into Florida, and possibly expand into Orlando with her theme park expertise in the future.

As American vacation trends shift, Dollywood has solidified its position as a top domestic destination, particularly for those seeking memorable staycations. A 2024 survey by Radical Storage reveals a fascinating dichotomy in vacation preferences: while half of Americans crave international adventures, the other half prioritize domestic escapes, with a significant majority (over 80%) expressing interest in staycations.

While Walt Disney World remains the most visited landmark in the US, Dollywood has emerged as a leader in a different category – visitor desire to return. A recent study by InsureandGo, a travel insurance company, awarded Dollywood a phenomenal “Come Back” score of 94 out of 100, placing it at the global top spot. This exceptional achievement speaks volumes about the unique and cherished memories Dollywood cultivates for its guests.

Dollywood’s success as a staycation destination can be attributed to several factors .

The park’s distinct blend of thrilling rides, captivating shows, and a deep connection to the Smoky Mountain heritage resonates with visitors. Beyond the attractions, Dollywood excels at creating a welcoming and memorable experience, fostering a sense of nostalgia and family bonding that keeps guests longing for a return visit.

Dollywood has recently undergone a police investigation after a string of car burglaries. 

“According to Pigeon Forge Police Chief Richard Catlett, officers witnessed a Jeep Cherokee being driven erratically on Sunday night and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. However, the suspects fled the scene at high speed in an area deemed too congested for a safe pursuit. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the Jeep itself was reported stolen. A separate investigation by PFPD is underway concerning 11 car burglaries that occurred late Sunday night at Dollywood. Chief Catlett confirmed that some of the stolen items from Dollywood were later recovered inside the abandoned Jeep.”

What Else is Dolly Parton Up To?

Dolly Parton, the iconic country music legend, may have bid farewell to touring, but her creative spirit shows no signs of slowing down. A flurry of upcoming projects highlight her diverse talents and unwavering dedication to her craft.

In November, Parton delves deep into her family history with the release of her new album, “Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables.” This project is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a poignant exploration of her roots and the wellspring of inspiration that has fueled her remarkable career.

The album’s release will be accompanied by a captivating four-part documentary series, offering fans an intimate glimpse into Parton’s formative years and the enduring influence of her family.

Parton’s innovative spirit shines brightly in “Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony.” This unique live production transcends the traditional concert experience. A full orchestra will breathe new life into Parton’s iconic hits, while captivating video presentations featuring Parton herself will grace the stage. This immersive format allows audiences to connect with her music and stories in a fresh and captivating way, even in her absence.

Parton’s creativity extends far beyond the realm of music. She collaborates with her sister Rachel on a forthcoming cookbook titled “Good Lookin’ Cookin’.” This playful title, a nod to the legendary Hank Williams, hints at the book’s delightful content. “Good Lookin’ Cookin'” promises to be a treasure trove of cherished family recipes and festive holiday menus, offering fans a glimpse into Parton’s love for good food and the traditions she holds dear.

Parton ventures into a new creative space with the launch of her first wine collection, aptly named “Dolly Wines.” This exciting project marks a collaboration between Parton Family Cellars, established by Parton herself, and Accolade Wines, a leading global wine company. This venture allows Parton to share her passion for quality and her appreciation for the finer things in life with a whole new audience.

Dolly Parton’s multifaceted approach to her career is truly inspiring . Whether delving into her family history, reimagining her music in a new format, sharing cherished recipes, or embarking on a new business venture, she consistently pushes boundaries and demonstrates the boundless potential of her creative spirit.
