If you're in Branson, Silver Dollar City is one of those places you pretty much have to experience…read moreat least once. What really sets this place apart is the entertainment. There are shows happening all day long, from live music and bluegrass to comedy and saloon-style performances. Depending on the season, there are also special productions throughout the park. It's nice to be able to sit down, take a break, and still feel like you're part of the experience. And since the shows are included with admission, it adds a lot of value to your visit. It's also a great spot if you have younger kids. There is plenty for them to do beyond just rides, including play areas, interactive attractions, and even a train ride. It's not one of those parks where little kids are limited. They can stay busy all day. The whole park has a really cool 1880s theme and is honestly one of the most beautiful theme parks I've been to. Between the shops, craftsmen, and scenery, it feels more like an experience than just rides. That said, be ready for a lot of walking. This park is very hilly and you will feel it by the end of the day. Lines can also get long during busy times. Overall, it's a really unique place with a ton to do for all ages. Between the shows, rides, and kid-friendly activities, you can easily spend a full day here and still not see everything.

This place was so much fun! Coming from NY (used to Dorney park, NJ six flags, Hershey, etc) it was…read morea breath of fresh air to visit a theme park with truly nice, welcoming employees who actually show they enjoy their jobs. Everywhere we went be it online for the rides or to refill our souvenir cups there was always a friendly, helpful face there to assist. I would definitely return. Great place for older kids and young. Lots of fun for all ages.

Runaway Mountain Coaster & Flyaway Ziplines at Branson Mountain Adventure (935 Historic Hwy 165,…read moreBranson, MO 65616) We had to check out the fastest mountain coaster during this very hot weekend in July. They have their own parking lot that seemed to get people in and out, and their line was short to buy tickets. My guy asked the cashier if I could bring my fanny pack, to which she quickly replied no, it needs to stay in the car and cannot be brought along to the ride. While I appreciate this information at the ticket stand, it was quite frustrating to get back home and see some AI-consolidated mentions of small lockers from a few months ago. Not sure if this is true or not, but I feel it should be mentioned on the website in FAQs and on signage at the site. Other than that, as a tourist, I still enjoyed the ride.

Next you watch a video. Then they weigh you and check the height of the children. Weight limit is 300 pounds. They are big on safety-one at a time they seat you in the "coaster"- you are buckled in with 2 safety straps-additional child straps. There are handles to hold to control speed. I am not big on speed and went slow. The coaster climbs through the woods and fake animals are scattered throughout. At the top there is a shed and guide who gives a thumbs up and down the hill you go-tilting slightly at times and circling around. They assist you and unstrap you at the end. A photo is taken 3/4 of the way down-smile and try not to look scared! Summary All the locals recommended this ride as the most scenic and it was! Great fun-even for me who is skiddish about heights and speed. Note-second ride is discounted. Best ride ever! Loved it!!

Most of my crew is pretty nervous around heights and roller coasters, but everyone ended up loving it! I will admit, the idea of potentially getting too close to the person in front of you stressed me out a little. You do have to keep a certain distance, and I did get a little closer than I wanted to at one point. Thankfully, it was easy to brake and slow down, so it ended up being much less stressful than I expected. If the line isn't too long, I would definitely recommend doing it a few times. The wait can be a little lengthy, but it's worth it. The staff was fantastic, especially the guys helping everyone get started. They were fun, encouraging, and made the experience even better. One of them could tell my youngest was nervous and did such a great job calming him down and cheering him on before he took off. I wish I had gotten his name so I could give him a proper shoutout! This was such a fun family activity and a great memory for all of us. Definitely recommend it!

The all-day pass granted them access to all three park locations, each showcasing a unique high-rise go-kart experience. The parks are conveniently located, with distances ranging from half a mile to one and a half miles between each location. The park's diverse offerings include classic go-karts, laser tag, coasters, bumper cars, water bumper boats, an arcade, glow mini golf, and other activities. For those planning a trip to Branson with children, visiting the Family Fun Track is a worthwhile consideration to ensure kids remain occupied. 2505 W 76 Country Blvd, Branson, MO, US, 65616

There are plenty of areas that are shaded with lounge chairs, which was a plus bc it was 100 degrees the day we visited. My group also enjoyed the healthier food options available.

Beware of the Diamond 2 park season passes. We get SDC season passes nearly every year. This year I…read morebought the 2 park season passes because we wanted to try WW for the first time in a decade or so. Due to a medical event in our family and an ICU stay, we decided we didn't want to chance the water park and decided it would be safer to keep the fam on dry land. I called SDC (who USED to have excellent customer service) and asked if we could get a refund or at least a forward credit to next year because we used none of the Diamond pass perks. I even offered to send substantiating medical documents. They said no. "No downgrades after WW is open for the year." So, learn from our experience and be aware that if you buy those 2 park Diamond passes and never use WW on the very, very limited days that they are open, you just trash that money. Judging by the reviews on here, we didn't miss much.

Highly recommend. I laughed my way through the experience. I had three teens (ages 16, 17, and…read more18) with me and they all loved it. We did the Zombie one. Staff was incredibly nice. No line. The seats move a little bit, but nothing terribly extreme. The only thing I would change is that I wish the experience was 1-2 minutes longer, however, I would still do this again. Give it a try!

This attraction is located in Branson Landing. Between the areas large parking lot and garage is…read moremore than ample parking available. The attraction is located about in the center of the Landing and is co-located with an arcade. The attraction is a state of the art ride/video shooting game that supposedly incorporates seven dimensions, including wind, sound, and movement. You have to be at least 40 inches tall to ride the ride and cannot weigh more than 350 pounds. There are 3 movies to choose from including Zoombies!, Road Fighters (a Mad Max apocalypse-like game), and Los Banditos (A robot creating mad-scientist). We opted to go with the Los Banditos because it was the most kid friendly from what I was told. The ride seat about 8 and the 4 of us, including my 4-year old, had the ride all to ourselves. We did not have to wait either. The ride is located right outside the mirror maze attraction and you can really get Groupon combo deal on the two. That is what I did. A single ride lasts about 6 minutes and costs $9. There are discounts for two and three rides. I was told that they could not be split up though and the multiple ride package has to be completed by the same rider. Anyway, my kids love this attraction so much that they begged to do a second ride. This is a neat little attraction, but it is not a huge consumer of time, unless you are spending big bucks. I still recommend it, but as a part of a larger itinerary or in conjunction with other events/attractions. There are a bunch of things in Branson Landing that it can be coupled with.

We were expecting scenic views of Missouri, but there really wasn't anything particularly "scenic" about the ride. The route goes one way and then turns around, so you end up seeing the exact same views twice, which was a bit disappointing. We did the VIP experience, which included light snacks and complimentary beverages, and that part was nice. Also, I want to mention that all of the employees were incredibly kind and welcoming--this is absolutely not a reflection on them. Overall, we truly wanted to love this experience, but it just didn't deliver the views or uniqueness we were hoping for.

We made our reservations online and you get a form that tells you to fill out the waiver online to…read moresave time at checkin. Well, the link does not work, so we arrived 30 mins prior to our reservation as instructed in the instructions. You walk into the nice building and serval workers are there yet no one engages with you to welcome you. Finally you get some one at that counter and tell them you are there to checkin. We are told we are the only party in that reservation slot, we get weighed, and sign the waiver. After you sign the waiver nothing happens. They don't tell you anything you just wait. I did mentioned that we tried to sign them online and another lady says oh yeah that doesn't work and we cannot change the email with the instructions either. Seems odd. Well, after you wait with no communication from the staff eventually Maykala came to say she was going to get us geared up. She took our group started to work with us and then a guide Seth came and told her to take a break. He may have been trying to be funny with some of the things he was saying, however it came off as very rude. Out on the lines we had a good time. The first line we went down everyone in our group was turning around and Seth made a comment to my husband and me that our boys were not holding the brake correctly causing them to turn, well when my husband and I went we both turned. The next line Maykala told us to hold the brake a little different and seemed to make a big difference. The problem was Seth was receiving and he told our one son (who has autism) he was doing it wrong which needless to say upset him since he did exactly what he was just instructed to do. Seth would continue to make comments to our boys that I'm not sure if he thought were funny or what, however again it just came across as rude. After the lines you return to the office. No communication if you are free to go or what. We knew from watching a previous group checkout that they have photos you can buy. So, when I went to buy some drink and the lady asked if I wanted photos I told her no one has talked to us about them however, yes we wanted them. Overall it was a fun time. Maykala was amazing! The rest of the crew in the office and Seth needs to learn about customer service.
