How far in advance should I book tickets?

One of the main questions we get asked is when guests should book their tickets for our show. The simplest answer is as soon as you know when you want to visit! Our show is extremely popular, which means it may sell out quickly. The only way to guarantee that you get a seat in our theater is to get your tickets ahead of time.

Is the holiday show different from the regular season show?

Yes! Many people ask if we have a separate show for the holiday season, and the answer is yes. Our Christmas show is Branson’s #1 Choice for the holidays®. You’ll be amazed by ice skating, a live nativity scene, twinkling lights, a friendly North Pole and South Pole rivalry, and more. Of course, you’ll also witness spectacular Christmas music, beautiful holiday costumes, and a mouth-watering holiday feast. Our holiday show typically runs from late October until early January each year.

Is dinner included in the ticket price?

One of the best parts about visiting our attraction in Branson is that you get both dinner and entertainment for one ticket price! Instead of having to pay for attraction tickets and restaurant bills separately, just visit Dolly Parton’s Stampede! Your ticket gets you a four-course feast and an evening filled with entertainment!

Are there live animals?

Horses at Dolly Parton's Stampede

One of the biggest draws of our show is our 32 magnificent horses. Our four-legged stars of the show perform breathtaking stunts alongside our talented trick riders. In addition to horses, you’ll also get to see buffalo, longhorns, pigs, and chickens!

Is Dolly Parton in the show?

Another one of the most asked questions we get for our show is if Dolly Parton herself is in the show. Although she doesn’t perform live for our guests, her presence is felt throughout the arena. Listen closely, because you’ll be able to hear original Dolly Parton songs recorded just for the show!

When should I arrive?

You don’t want to miss a second of the fun on the day of your show! We recommend arriving an hour before your scheduled show time.
