Local Knowledge

Things Most Visitors Don't Know

How to choose the right show and make the most of the night.

pets
Stampede Is the Flagship
Dolly Parton's Stampede is the most-visited dinner show in the country. The horse show alone is worth the price. Book at least 3 weeks ahead in summer -- it genuinely sells out.
groups
Great for Large Groups
Dinner shows are perfect for big groups because there is no menu decision to make, everyone is in the same location, and the show provides a shared experience. Many shows offer group rates for 10+.
restaurant
The Food Is Surprisingly Good
These are not chicken-and-vegetables catered meals. Hatfield & McCoy's all-you-can-eat spread and Stampede's 4-course dinner are legitimately filling and tasty. Go hungry.
child_care
Best for Kids 5 to 12
The Stampede's horse performances and Pirates Voyage's swashbuckling are especially good for kids in the 5 to 12 range. The production value is high enough to hold attention for 2+ hours.
savings
Online Booking Saves 10 to 20%
All shows offer an online discount vs. walking up to the box office. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the best rate. AAA, military, and senior discounts are also common.
schedule
Earlier Shows Are Less Crowded
Most shows run an early show at 5 or 6 PM and a later show at 8 PM. The earlier show tends to have more families; the later show skews older. Both are the same production.
