We're dog lovers in this family. Our big chocolate lab, Lola, is a beloved family member and we recently added Buddy to our brood, a cute little brown dachshund mix.

Now whether or not you and your family are dog lovers, you will definitely love Chris Perondi's Stunt Dog Experience at SDC this summer. What a terrific show. It's amazing to see what these dogs can do! My kids left the show inspired to see if we could teach Lola and Buddy to do more than j [...]

As the mother of a child with a peanut allergy, I know how challenging it can be to deal with a severe food allergy, especially when vacationing.

It's amazing how supportive-or unsupportive-companies can be when it comes to helping families make informed food decisions. Fortunately, Silver Dollar City cares and understands the difficulty many families face.

To help guests navigate around the eight most common food allergies, the City offers online information th [...]

Just wanted to remind all of you that there are only a few days left to check out Bluegrass and BBQ at the City. The festival ends May 31 but every day is packed with plenty of big-time bluegrass and all the great BBQ you care to eat so make sure you check the schedule.

The kids and I headed over to the park for a few hours and were able to hear Dailey & Vincent for their first performance of the day at the Opera House. We love [...]

Hooray! The new season has finally begun and our family was so excited to head out to the city this past weekend for Family Spring Break Days. It feels like spring is here now and summer is right around the corner.

Of course we made a bee-line to check out the new River Blast ride and, wow, what a great addition to the park. The weather was a bit too chilly for us to try it out but it definitely looks like the most fun [...]

It's Christmastime at the City...

lisarolf@hotmail.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:00:00 +0100

...and we love it! We took advantage of the beautiful mild weather we've been having and headed out to the City last night to start getting in the holiday mood.
We didn't make it too far through the entrance though. We stopped at Eva & Delilah's Bakery to watch some HUGE cinnamon rolls being made and of course we had to eat one too! Didn't really matter that we hadn't had dinner yet. If you've ever been to SDC before you are familiar [...]

My First Culinary & Craft School Class!

My mom and I decided it was about time we try out one of the Culinary & Craft School Classes. We both love making and eating chili so we decided on the Great Chili Round-Up. Wow, what a treat!
First of all, let me just say how beautiful the kitchen is in the big white farmhouse. Just amazing. Now, having never taken a class before, I wasn't exactly sure about the seating. Well, no problem there. The seating was cozy and comfortable and it was very [...]

Greetings from the Culinary & Craft School

lbranham@hfecorp.com — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:00:00 +0100

Happy summer everyone, and greetings from Silver Dollar City's Culinary & Craft School. Today I am going to include a very simple recipe for homemade Ranch Dressing.

When I do this dish at the school I talk about getting the kids involved in the measuring & stirring process. I find that my son eats his vegetables better if he has some ranch to dip in! This recipe also makes a lovely gift. Pick up some of the little bitty Ziploc bags that craft stores c [...]

Non-Allergen Food Options Available

According to The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network, scientists estimate that approximately 12 million Americans suffer from food allergies, and more than 3 million of them are children.

That means a lot of families are dealing with the effects of food allergies and looking for information to assist in meal planning and preparation, especially when it comes to eating at a restaurant or theme park.

I recently sat down with Terry Riddle, Silver Dollar City's Director [...]
