Branson is a GREAT Family Destination

    If you haven’t been to Branson recently, this summer might be just the perfect time. Branson is home to more than 40 theaters featuring more than 70 shows. Each season holds new surprises for visitors as familiar faces thrill and entertain audiences, while talented new ones continually join the impressive line up. 

    Silver Dollar City National KidsFest runs this summer through Aug. 9, featuring magic, VeggieTales, 30 rides and attractions. A special section at the park for children, called The Grand Exposition area, boasts 10 family rides--and our four children actually said it was MORE FUN than Disney World. To enhance your visit, plan ahead to enjoy a class at Silver Dollar City’s new Culinary and Craft School where you’ll discover the secrets of authentic homestyle cooking. 

    Looking for a great kid-friendly place to stay? Consider the new Castle Rock Resort with a 30,000-square-foot indoor water park with a lazy river and 4-story water slide. Another great place to stay is Chateau on the Lake Resort, which sits on a forested mountaintop overlooking pristine Table Rock Lake, just minutes from all the excitement of Branson. Chateau on the Lake has many kid-friendly attractions including a kid’s movie theatre, free paddle boats and canoes as well as Lucky the Bear who delivers milk and cookies right to your hotel room! 

    Other don’t-miss family attractions include Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner Show, Ride the Ducks, Noah the Musical, White Water and many others.
