This year has brought forth a ton of change for both the education system and the theme park industry. However, it seems that Dollywood has used their thinkin’-caps and devised a plan that’ll help the two work as one. Now through Sept. 21st, Dollywood will be hosting its annual Homeschool Days. Sure, it is not a new idea. Alas, we are glad to see it has made its way back in a time when “cutting’ seems to be the name of the game. This particularly helps those who are staying home in the Fall by offering an educational experience that reaches far beyond the laptop lessons. From history to physics, Dollywood provides the ultimate educational field trip for students of all ages.
Admission
Students from Kindergarten through their senior year of high school can purchase a ticket to the park for just $37 plus tax, with attending adults at $47 plus tax.
Advanced Booking Required
Homeschool tickets are not available at the front gate. However, they may be purchased by calling (888) 428-6789 Monday through Friday.
