Travel Tips
Park It Forward parking tags
If you are in one location for more than 15 minutes anywhere inside the boundaries of the Smokies, you will need a parking tag. Each tag is valid for a single vehicle and must include a license plate number matching the vehicle in which it is displayed. Physical display is required — digital representations will not be accepted. Tags are not required for motorists who pass through or who park for less than 15 minutes.
Free attraction tickets
Bear Tootin guests receive 1 free ticket per day for each participating Smoky Mountain attraction, including Dollywood, Pirates Voyage, Comedy Barn, Country Tonite, Soaky Mountain, WonderWorks, Skyland Ranch, Rocky Top Mountain Coaster, Big Creek Expeditions, Mama's Farmhouse and more.
Know the bear safety rules
Black bears live throughout the Smokies. Review the area bear safety guidance before you head out, and never leave food or trash outside your cabin.
Check weather and park closures before you go
Great Smoky Mountains National Park posts temporary road and trail closures, and mountain weather changes quickly — check both the 10-day forecast and the closure list before you set out.
Use the Smoky Planner
Bear Tootin's Smoky Planner sorts area attractions into Most Popular, Heart Racing Adventures, Voted by Kids, Best Viewing Spots, Hiking, Dinner Shows, Driving Trails, Shows, Winter Vibes, Animals, Water Fun and Museums, plus hiking lists for waterfalls, easy hikes, best views, kid hikes, stroller-friendly and dog-friendly trails.
