Dollywood Extends Eagle Sanctuary Closure to Day Two After Storm Damage

The closure centers on repairs to a storm-damaged aviary that houses rescued bald eagles.

Overview

  • The Wings of America bird shows are canceled for a second day as the sanctuary area stays closed during repairs.
  • A storm overnight between Saturday and Sunday uprooted a tree that compromised the aviary’s structure and netting.
  • The American Eagle Foundation removed the rescued eagles and is housing them off-site until the netting is fixed.
  • Dollywood has not given a timetable for repairs or for the return of the shows.
  • The rest of the park is open with no other attractions reported affected, including the Flower & Food Festival through June 7, and the NightFlight Expedition ride remains planned for later this spring.
