Branson, Missouri is one of America’s favorite vacation destinations, and it’s easy to see why. There is a lot packed into one place. With thrilling attractions, world-class entertainment, and amazing restaurants, you’re never at a loss to find something fun for the whole family.
If you’re looking to create special memories with your entire family, look no further than Branson. Here are some top attractions that you must see while you and your family vacation in Branson!
Table Rock Lake
Pack a swimsuit, because you’re going to have a perfect day out on the water. Table Rock Lake boasts nearly 800 miles of shoreline. Relax in the sands at Moonshine Beach, or visit the Table Rock State Park Marina if you’re looking to check out boating and fishing adventures.
Showboat Branson Belle
While we’re talking about Table Rock Lake, I have to mention the Showboat Branson Belle. It’s a majestic riverboat on Table Rock Lake, but it’s a lot more than just a trip across the water on a boat. It’s a two-hour cruise that features a full three-course meal, hilarious comedy, and rising country stars performing hits.
Branson Scenic Railway
Head over to the historic depot in downtown Branson to catch a train ride through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. If you happen to be visiting during November or December, you’re in luck! The train transforms into The Polar Express, complete with a live reading of the book, hot cocoa, and a visit from Santa Claus.
Branson Landing
You’ll need souvenirs and a good meal! This is a huge outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment center located along Lake Taneycomo, and it also features a lakeside boardwalk and a series of water fountains set to lights, music, and even fire.
Silver Dollar City
This unique theme park has a late 19th-century vibe, but it also has modern thrilling rides and top-notch entertainment. Among more than 40 amazing rides and attractions, you can experience the Time Traveler, the world’s fastest, steepest, and tallest spinning coaster.
Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours
Get outside and zip through the treetops at Wolfe Mountain through a series of zip lines interconnected with sky bridges, walkways, and platforms. There are several different tour options, varying in length. They also offer a 100-foot vertical freefall experience!
Titanic Museum
This museum is more than just a museum; it’s an entire experience. The museum is built to look like the actual ship. When you step on board, you’re given a boarding pass with a real Titanic passenger’s name on it.
Climb the grand staircase, meet the crew, and experience history right before your eyes. Once you finish the self-guided tour, you’ll learn whether or not the passenger on your boarding pass survived the infamous sinking.
College of the Ozarks
Visiting a college might not sound like a must-visit destination for your vacation, but this one is a little different. This college lets students work campus jobs while enrolled to help pay for the cost of education.
Enjoy a meal at the college’s 4-star restaurant and hotel, check out panoramic views of the Ozark hills at Point Lookout or tour the Ralph Foster Museum.
