The Dollywood Company operates a collection of entertainment properties in the Great Smoky Mountains, including Dollywood Theme Park, Dollywood's Splash Country, Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa, and Dollywood's HeartSong Lodge & Resort, all in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The venture grew out of a long-standing partnership between Herschend Family Entertainment and Dolly Parton that began in 1985, with Herschend serving as the operating partner. Based in Pigeon Forge, the company operates within the entertainment providers industry, serving visitors seeking family-friendly attractions and lodging experiences. Its portfolio targets leisure travelers and families, providing theme park entertainment, water-based attractions, and resort accommodations in a single destination. A notable recent development is the announcement of NightFlight Expedition, described as the world's first indoor family hybrid coaster and whitewater river raft ride, planned for the park's 2026 lineup.
