Our verdict

Is Dolly Parton's Stampede worth it?

The show

Horses, a rivalry and dinner at your seat

The arena show runs with 32 horses, longhorns and aerial acts, and the audience splits into two sides for a friendly North-versus-South competition, cheering for its riders. Dinner is served right to your seat while the show goes on, timed to the action in the arena.

At Christmas the rivalry becomes North Pole against South Pole. The Sugar Plum Fairy brings toys to life, skaters turn the arena into a frozen wonderland for Elegance On Ice, the Three Kings arrive on real camels for the living nativity, and Santa rides in on a horse-drawn sleigh.

Seats

Value or Regular seating

Regular costs more for the more central view; Value is the budget choice and puts you close to the riders' entrance.
