Wildwood Grove Construction Tour
Dollywood invited us to visit and check out the construction of Wildwood Grove. The new area, set to open May 2019, contains 11 new experiences including 6 new attractions as well as new retail and dining locations.
Wildwood Grove is a 37 million dollar investment by the park which is its largest capital project ever.
