Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede

Dolly Parton’s place in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, brings new meaning to “dinner and a show.” The 35,000-square-foot arena is decorated like a Southern mansion. Actors, comedians, and 32 horses perform while you eat with your hands (no utensils is part of the experience). It feels like a picnic with 1,000 friends.
 What To Order: You don’t actually have a choice! The set menu includes a biscuit, creamy veggie soup, rotisserie chicken, smoked pork tenderloin, corn on the cob, a baked potato, and an apple turnover.
 SL Tip: Arrive an hour early to see a bluegrass band called Mountain Ruckus. (Slip some plastic utensils in your purse!)

 3849 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN; dixiestampede.com or 1-800-356-1676
