Sit back and relax while you let the Fun Time Trolley do the driving! No worries with traffic or parking and you won’t miss a thing along the route to your destination. Our kids love riding the “bear bus” and I’m sure you’ll love it too.
The Trolley is a great option during times when the family wants to go to separate activities for the day. Part of the family can take the car and the others can catch the Trolley. And you can hop on and off the bus from destination to destination.

4) Where can I catch the Trolley?
There are numerous Trolley Stops in and around Pigeon Forge. Just look for a Trolley Shelter or a sign with the Trolley Bear and watch for the “bear bus” to roll to a stop. Check out the route maps here.
From Asbury Cottage, just walk across the street in front of the Music Road Hotel to the Trolley Stop. This stop is for the North Parkway Trolley and its route is from Patriot Park to Walmart. There are several stops along the way including The Apple Barn, Tanger Outlets and Governor’s Crossing. From Asbury Cottage, you can also catch the Wears Valley Trolley at the Trolley Stop near Traffic Light #1 at the Parkway or ride the North Parkway Trolley to the Trolley Station at Patriot Park where you can board another route.
5) Can I ride theTrolley to Dollywood or Splash Country?
Absolutely! And we certainly recommend it!
Parking lot traffic at Dollywood and Splash Country can be daunting at times, but when you ride the Trolley you get dropped off right at the front entrance. That means no traffic, no lines into the parking lot, no parking fees and less walking!
You can’t beat the Trolley for getting to the fun-parks! Take a Trolley or drive to Trolley Station at Patriot Park (Traffic Light #7 and located behind the Old Mill Restaurant) and then take either the Dollywood Trolley or Splash Country Trolley. These two trolleys travel to and from the parks continuously, so there’s hardly ever a wait.
