Dollywood has added two early-summer discounts to the calendar, giving locals and school-age guests a cheaper way into the Pigeon Forge parks as the season turns hot.
The big local deal is Sevier County Days. Dollywood's promotion returns June 1-7 at Dollywood's Splash Country and June 8-14 at the Dollywood theme park, with admission available for a $5 donation to local nonprofits for people who live or work in Sevier County.
To use the Sevier County Days offer, residents need a state or federal photo ID with a valid Sevier County ZIP code. People who work in the county but live elsewhere need proof of employment and a matching photo ID.
Dollywood is also tying a season-pass deal to the local window. The resort says eligible Sevier County residents and workers can buy a 2026 season pass online starting at $80, with $5 from each pass sold going to Sevier County area nonprofits.
There is a separate Splash Country offer for students ages 4-18, including students who do not live in Sevier County. The School's Out promotion runs May 23 through June 14 and gives students admission to Dollywood's Splash Country plus a personal cheese or pepperoni pizza for $34.99 when they show a report card at a ticket window.
Students must be present at the ticket window with a report card to use the School's Out discount.
The offers land as Splash Country moves into its regular summer rhythm. Dollywood said the water park opened for its 26th season on Saturday, May 16, 2026, and daily operation begins Saturday, May 23.
Splash Country is now cashless, according to Dollywood. The water park accepts card and mobile payments.
The discounts put local and student pricing into the first weeks of daily water-park operations, with Sevier County Days concentrated across the first two June weeks.
