Foster Families

We're proud to partner with Every Child Tennessee and the Tennessee Dept of Children’s Services to offer a special opportunity for children placed in foster care in Tennessee to experience the magic of Dollywood with a complimentary one-time visit when accompanied by their Tennessee foster family. This exclusive offer is designed to create lasting memories in a welcoming, fun-filled environment. We invite children in foster care and their caregivers to enjoy the world-class attractions, entertainment, and hospitality that Dollywood is known for.

Forms must be submitted two weeks prior to your planned visit date to Dollywood. You will receive a confirmation email from Dollywood once your request is approved and finalized.

 

Requirements:

• Child must currently be in foster care and must be placed in a TN DCS approved foster home in Tennessee.
• Children who are in foster care in other states are eligible if:
  
  1. An Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) request has been completed, AND
  2. The child is placed in a TN DCS-approved foster home (relative or non-relative) in Tennessee
• A copy of each child’s placement contract must be submitted through our secure portal.
• PLEASE NOTE: Dollywood partners exclusively with the TN Dept. of Children’s Services (TN DCS) and its providers. We are unable to accommodate placements through non-TN DCS affiliated providers.
• Children ages 3 and under do not require an admission ticket as they are admitted free at Dollywood.

Please Note: Complimentary admission is provided to the foster child only. All others visiting will need to purchase a one-day ticket or be a season passholder.
