Description

Billed as the Smokies' Most Fun Place to Eat, Dolly Parton's Stampede is a restaurant and show like no other. Join the Dolly Parton’s Stampede cast, including 32 magnificent horses, as you take a nostalgic holiday trip with a friendly North Pole-South Pole rivalry. Watch in delight as the Sugar Plum Fairy brings toys to life right before your eyes. The live nativity scene, which includes three kings arriving atop real camels, brings the true meaning of Christmas to life.

New this year is “Elegance on Ice,” where guests will see the Stampede arena transformed into a frozen wonderland where talented ice skaters dazzle the audience with their graceful skills on the holiday ice. Santa himself will also make an appearance in a horse-drawn sleigh.

You will enjoy all the holiday entertainment while dining on the famous four-course holiday meal. The menu includes Stampede's Original Creamy Vegetable Soup and hot buttery biscuit, as well as a mouth-watering, tender, and whole rotisserie chicken, delicious hickory-smoked pulled pork, hot-buttered corn on the cob, tasty homestyle mashed potatoes, a specialty dessert, and unlimited Coca-Cola®, tea, or coffee.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll alongside the open-air stables to sneak a peek at the horses. It's your chance to meet the equine stars of the show up close and discover their flawless beauty. Before the main event, join us in the Saloon for ALL-NEW pre-show entertainment with an incredible mix of bluegrass and country music performed live for our guests! Browse the gift shop or grab a cold drink in a souvenir Boot Mug while you get ready for the Smokies biggest production, Dolly Parton’s Stampede!

"Christmas Spectacular"

December 2024 NEW

The Christmas program was SPECTACULAR! From the opening until the end of the show it was wonderful. This was my first time to use Tripster for tickets. It was so simple and easy to get the showtime and seats. The food was delicious. Thanks so much Tripster.

Tip: Don't hesitate to use Tripster. They are great.

"Good food, don't go if you are a true equestrian"

November 2024

Parts of the show were very nice, amazing backdrop, a few good horses, a beautiful Nativity with amazing camels. Best rider was a toy soldier in costume on a costumed horse, probably a warm blood, ridden with a snaffle and proper contact and a good seat. All the other horses were ridden with tie downs, two of them constantly swishing tails, ears pinned, looking miserable- very hard to watch. I left early- too disgusted to watch anymore 'rodeo wanna- bees . Did not expect something like this from a professional organization. Even the description of one of the horses erroneously letting the reader think Palomino is a breed of horse rather than a color was not how one educates the public on horses.

Tip: There are better horse dinner shows- Arabian Nights in Orlando. Don't waste your money to see horses this way.

"Tripster Rating"

October 2024

Getting our tickets through Tripster was easy and hassle free. When I called with a question, the person who answered was so very kind and answered my question quickly. This experience was so nice in preparing for a trip. With a group of 11, it's not always easy to plan a trip with activities but this service delivered well.

Tip: Check what is going on in the area before you go. There are lots of events that come to Pigeon Forge and it can be very crowded. Activities such as mountain coasters, check around to see who has the best deal for the money. Goats on the Roof turned out to be very cost efficient.

"Enjoyable evening"

October 2024

Well organised and lots of piping-hot food. The waiters were so good at looking after us and the stampede itself was cheesy but enjoyable. Especially loved the chicken chase and pig race

Seating was too close to each other. Photo taken was extremely over-priced.
