Description

Billed as the Smokies' Most Fun Place to Eat, Dolly Parton's Stampede is a restaurant and show like no other. Watch as 32 magnificent horses and a cast of top-notch riders thrill you with daring feats of trick riding and friendly competition.

New this year is a breathtaking segment called Butterfly Dreams. Enter a magical world of winged horses, brilliant, blooming flowers, and vibrant, colorful butterflies. Butterfly Dreams showcases a stunning aerialist display that combines equestrian stars and incredible aerial acrobatics. And finally, the show culminates with an emotional musical conclusion set to a patriotic salute of Red, White, and Blue—featuring Color Me America, written and recorded by Dolly Parton herself.

As the action begins, you're served a four-course feast meant to satisfy those delicious home-cooked, country-style cravings. 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.

Be early and 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 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!

"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.

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.

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
