Food Booths:

Throughout the park, numerous food booths are set up to cater to every palate. These booths are located in various sections, making it convenient for visitors to indulge in their favorite dishes. Here are just a few of the must-visit food booths:

  1. Loaded Potato Tornado: Get ready to spiral into a world of flavor with the Loaded Potato Tornado. Enjoy an innovative take on the classic spud as freshly cut potatoes are skewered, seasoned, and deep-fried to create a crispy, golden treat. It has a beautiful an dfun presentation, but was admittedly a little difficult to eat.

  1. Hibachi Skillet Pork Belly: Fill your belly with the Hibachi Skillet Pork Belly (also available with chicken.) This was a good sized portion for the price, willed with fried rice, carrots, and peas. We would definitely get this one again, and maybe try the chicken option.

  1. S’mores Funnel Cake: For those with a sweet tooth, the S’mores Funnel Cake is a dream come true. Indulge in a classic funnel cake topped with gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crumbled graham crackers. This delicious twist on a beloved campfire treat is the perfect combination of crispy, fluffy, and chocolatey goodness.

  1. Three Little Pigs Sandwich: Calling all barbecue enthusiasts! Head over and try the Three Little Pigs Sandwich, which contains roasted pork loin, pulled pork shoulder, and smoked sausage. You also get a side of slaw. With each bite, you’ll understand why this booth is a perennial favorite among visitors (and Bobby’s favorite of the day!)

  1. Open-Faced Grilled Cheese: Cheese lovers unite! The Open-Faced Grilled Cheese was my personal favorite. This treat came on toasted bread and contained four cheeses, including cream cheese. I honestly wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did, so if you are all about cheese like me, don’t miss this stop! It’s back near the train station.

Tasting Passes:

To make the most of the culinary adventure at Dollywood’s Summer Celebration, visitors can purchase tasting passes. These passes allow you to sample a selection of dishes from various food booths at a discounted price. (Certain annual passholders get an additional discount!)

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
