Dollywood doesn’t have a year-round teacher discount. What it does have is Public Employee Appreciation Days, a yearly ticket offer for teachers, military members, first responders, medical staff and other public employees. The latest round has ended, so there’s no teacher ticket offer running right now.
Dollywood is the theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, in the Great Smoky Mountains, with a sister water park next door, Dollywood’s Splash Country. The appreciation offer has covered tickets to both.
How To Get The Dollywood Teacher Discount
When Public Employee Appreciation Days comes back, this is how it works:
- Open Dollywood’s Public Employee Appreciation Days page and choose the ticket offer.
- Verify that you work as a teacher or in another qualifying job. Verification goes through ID.me and happens online, so have your ID.me account ready before you buy.
- Buy your tickets online. Each verified account can buy up to six.
The price is set for each round, so check it on the page before you pay. The most recent round sold one-day admission tickets for $59 plus tax.
What To Do In The Meantime
Outside of those rounds, teachers pay the regular ticket price. Buying online ahead of your trip is the way to keep the cost down, and the days and ticket types on Dollywood’s ticket page are the ones to compare. A teacher who lives near the park and plans to go more than once can price out a season pass against single-day tickets before choosing.
ID.me doesn’t have a Dollywood teacher listing, so you won’t find a code or a standing offer there. The appreciation page is where Dollywood puts its teacher deal when it has one. If you’re planning a trip to a bigger area with lots to do, our entertainment discounts for teachers cover other parks, shows and attractions where educators save.
