Pregnant at Silver Dollar City

Pregnant at Silver Dollar City

They allow you to bring food & beverages inside. You can bring plenty of snacks that you can tolerate or need, without spending a fortune. And even your entire lunch if needed or wanted.

The Tasting Passports they sell at the Festivals are really fun to do as well. New foods, and kind of fun to go around and find them-something to do and keep busy that is fun. Molly's Mill is also a good option for meals because it's a buffet, so if certain foods make you queasy and you are unsure day to day/meal to meal which foods may cause that, you can change what you are eating right then and try something else that might be easier on the tummy.

I highly suggest getting a photo pass and getting all the photos ops. The photographers will take your pictures any where you ask them to in Silver Dollar City and as many as you want! So great way to get lots of pregnancy pictures with your husband and/or family included.

I would strongly suggest, getting extremely familiar with the map and where all the bathrooms are before going as well. Make sure you know what things are by each bathroom. So you can hurry to them, if needed.

These are rides, that even babies are allowed to ride. It's up to your discretion, tolerance, and doctors advice if they would be a good idea for yourself. 

Hugo & Mary's Carousel 

The Train - 20 minute ride, there is a Train Robbery Show half way through that last 10 minutes.

Flooded Mine - A flat boat ride. It's lazer gun shooting in a mine. You stay completely dry.

Tom and Huck's River Blast - Flat boat ride with interactive water guns. Extremely mild, except for getting shot with water. We bring rain ponchos.

Attractions/Interactive Activities -

Two Splash pads - 

1 FireHouse Splash Yard - Fireman's Landing. 

1 in front of Mystic River Falls. 

Grandfather's Mansion -

A "fun" house. Not scary or haunted. However, I will warn, do not go by yourself. I would have my husband or someone equally strong, like my dad, with me to make sure I didn't lose my balance. If you are in the queasy part of pregnancy, this could make you nauseated too. It puts off your center of balance. So while I don't think it would directly affect a pregnancy. This one I would be a bit more careful with.

Swinging Bridge 

Homestead Animal Barnyard -

Petting Zoo - I would just make sure to wash hands well after.

Firefighter's Fire Drill -

Two-story interactive course, filled with foam balls, hoses & cannons for mock firefighting practice. A bonus to this while pregnant is it's temperature controlled. 

Oaktrail School and the entire Homestead. 

Fun shows. Our favorite is the Saloon Show. But, also love the circuses, acrobats, island dancers, especially Fire dancers, & animal shows. The Street Troupe is always hilarious too. And the hymn singing at church is extremely nice. In the fall they even have a cowboy cooking competition, and you get to try 2 dishes and vote on which one you like best.

There are lots of crafters to watch. My favorites are the glassblowing and candy making. They have many others too, everything from blacksmithing, to leather crafting, knife making, soap making, candle making (you can also dip candles yourself), wood Carving, furniture making, jewelry making - I always get something made at the Gillwire Jewelry store! And just so much more!

You can truly have a fantastic time at Silver Dollar City, even while pregnant.

Busy Days!

Here's my advice - go early! The turnstiles open at 8:30 every day, no matter when opening is scheduled.  Be in the Parking lot by 8:15....
