As temperatures climb and summer break approaches, Dollywood and Dollywood’s Splash Country are giving families even more reasons to plan a Smoky Mountain getaway with the return of two popular seasonal promotions.

Dollywood’s Splash Country is bringing back its School’s Out! Promo, rewarding students for making it through another school year with a special deal that combines water park admission and lunch at a discounted price. Running from May 23 through June 14, kids ages 4-18 can present a valid report card at any Splash Country ticket window and receive admission to the park along with a personal cheese or pepperoni pizza for $34.99 plus tax.

The promotion celebrates students of all achievement levels, whether they earned straight A’s or simply gave their best effort throughout the school year. The child must be present at the ticket window to receive the offer, which has become a popular kickoff to summer for families visiting the Smokies.

Splash Country Continues To Shine As A Summer Destination

Recognized as one of the country’s most beautiful water parks, Dollywood’s Splash Country continues to stand out for its lush Smoky Mountain setting, family-friendly attractions, and consistently clean environment. The 35-acre water park features a mix of high-thrill slides, wave pools, family raft rides, and relaxing lazy rivers, making it a favorite summer stop for both tourists and locals.

The return of the School’s Out! Promo comes as Splash Country prepares for another busy summer season filled with daily operations, seasonal entertainment, and family-focused experiences.

Sevier County Days Returns With A Community-Focused Tradition

One of the park’s longest-running and most beloved traditions also returns this summer with Sevier County Days. The annual promotion gives Sevier County residents and workers an opportunity to visit either Dollywood or Splash Country while supporting local nonprofits.

Sevier County Days will take place June 1-7 at Splash Country and June 8-14 at Dollywood. During those dates, eligible guests can enjoy admission to either park for just a $5 donation.

All proceeds collected during the promotion benefit nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving the needs of Sevier County residents, making the event both a summer tradition and a community fundraiser.

Residents can participate by presenting a state- or federally-issued photo ID showing an eligible Sevier County zip code at designated ticket booths. Those who work in Sevier County but live elsewhere can also qualify by showing proof of employment along with matching identification.

Discounted Season Passes Add Even More Value

As an added incentive, Sevier County residents and workers also can purchase a 2026 season pass online starting at $80 plus tax, which is less than the price of a standard one-day admission ticket to Dollywood. An additional $5 from every season pass sold during the promotion also benefits area nonprofits.

The offer provides locals with one of the best values of the summer while helping strengthen community organizations throughout Sevier County.

Dollywood’s Award-Winning Reputation Continues To Grow

Since opening in 1986 under the vision of Dolly Parton, Dollywood has grown into one of America’s most acclaimed theme park destinations. Located near Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the park has earned dozens of industry awards and repeatedly ranks among the nation’s top theme parks in guest satisfaction surveys.

Together, Dollywood and Splash Country continue to blend East Tennessee hospitality, family entertainment, scenic mountain beauty, and value-driven promotions that make summer visits especially appealing.
