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.

Our overall review based on being there 21 Dec, which changed the atmosphere a bit…read more Pros: - Amazing festive lights and decor. - Good food and it wasn't too pricey. There is a mobile ordering option for some places through the app that helped us a lot with the long lines. - Very friendly and helpful employees. - Easy to get to and navigate the park. - Smaller attractions like Grandpa's mansion were fun! - the APP is sooo helpful! - kiddo loved the knife shop and personal rings booth. The proprietors were so nice! - PowderKeg and TimeTraveler rides were awesome. Wish would could have done more than one! Cons: - We went during a weekend when people believed (as advertised) it was the last Rudolph train parade which made it especially chaotic. That was later changed in a way but it made this weekend before Christmas majorly bad. Kiddo was mad about the odd advertising after we heard a shop owner talking about a last minute meeting. - Better locker placement. We based this on Dollywood where there was a locker before each ride but SDC has them in certain "villages" which takes time to navigate. Bc of this we barely used the locker we bought - instead there are cubbies at each ride that work out better. - The kid rides area (Fireman's village or other) is smack in the middle of the route between spaces which made travel from ride to ride difficult. - During Xmas it is hectic, especially the weekend before. The whole operation is overwrought with people and it gets difficult to move, buy food, go on rides (we waited 2 hours for time traveler and saw on the app other rides were just as long). We also waiting 45 minutes for a funnel. - our personal note - we found a decent spot for the parade and got kicked out right before it started, by security. No signage - just you can't be in this open space (it was the mulch around the stage near the big Xmas tree) We left, parade be damned - which was when a lot of people were actually leaving. - outlaw ride was closed one of the biggest nights. - overpriced junk - my kiddo recognized a 'carved bear' from another theme park and when we looked at it close it was made in the Philippines. There are some good options for craftsman here but double check before paying for high priced inports. Key notes: - we knew we would be at the park into the night so we paid the $65 to get awesome parking up front. That turned out to be a great decision because as the masses were leaving we got out in 10 mins. I know that may seem silly but it as a priority for me and I know not everyone. For $20 you can get closer parking. They do have trolleys for free parking and they were running regularly. Make the decision that is best for you! - if they have the time traveler pass available - get it if you can. We spent so much time in line to watch the add on payers jump up and get more out of their time. At this park, there are only so many awesome rides. The limitations on the pass are far exceeded by the wasted time. This is only important if you are here for the rides and not just exploring. Notes: - the ground had paint stamps to help you navigate but they were worn out and made it hard. - there are shops to warm up in but as Colorado people who have seen a thing or two maybe warming stations with heaters or warming barrels like they do at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo would be good. Most people love a good wood fire smell. Overall - plan accordingly. We personally would not recommend the weekend before Xmas (we figured people would be traveling and that was a bad assumption). Know what your interest are - if you want to do shopping then that would be fine. If you want rides, maybe look at different dates you want to go.

We had the best experience with Slimetropolis!!! My toddlers love slime! Creating your own slime…read moreand being slimed, YES!!!!! Everyone enjoyed themselves! My husband and son were slimed SO many times-unlimited amounts! Definitely recommended. The kids loved this place more than sitting at a show or other expensive places in the area. Highlight of our trip!!!! Im very surprised at the reviews below! Everything in Branson is expensive. Do something your kids will actually have fun doing. Playing with slime!

First and last time visiting here. Do not recommend. This…read morewas the worst experience ever. I came in and my children got the slimeinator and the machine smelled like garbage as soon as the slime machine has dropped on my children , she said it was because one of my children passed gas and that's where the smell came from. So I waited for the next group to confirm to see if the machine would still smell that way. I asked about it she said it should not smell that way and the at they had not cleaned it in days . I even called the number and spoke to the guy and he said the machine should not smell like that and that that was weird. All I wanted to do was confirm the next time that the smell was normal but of course she immediately disappeared, She went on almost a 30-45 minute break knowing someone was next. No remorse this was not ok and the customer service was horrible . The lady said I would have to email which I was sitting and sending a email and she said she didn't feel safe anymore and we had to leave kind you I wasn't aggressive at all , but no one could give me answers and this activity cost me $155 all together. The staff was horrible and was not helpful at all in regards to the concern no offer to come back or anything or to try again the worker was avoiding the issue as well she had been on break for 30 plus minutes now. The next group had paid and she wouldn't even come out to service them I believe her name was Kate , I am very un pleased with the service and very upset, will not be back , they sent email back basically saying I got all the service and still avoiding the smell and unapologetic .

Best time to come is weekdays! We had never came here until…read morelast year. Our usual "kid spot" was incredible pizza, but they happened to be slammed one day, so we opted here instead. For one it's waaay cheaper entertainment! $27 for unlimited pack, and $22 for just trampolines. No that doesn't include food, but in the end I personally think you get way more for your money here. You can literally spend hours just letting your kid get worn out!! I also like that they closed the entrance by the mall, so only one way in and out "better to keep an eye on the kiddos." The only thing that's pricy is food and drinks, but FYI soda refills are only 1.20 and you can get a soda and two pieces of pizza for like $7!! We opted for the monthly membership which is about $18 after taxes, but if you come more than 6 times a year it's paid for itself. Also anyone who comes with a member gets in for half price!!! If you got some work to do on the laptop it's a perfect place to wear out the kid and do your business. Definitely would get 5 stars if there were more food, and drink selections. LIKE COFFEE FOR PARENTS!!! Also if all rides were open instead of rotating them.. Otherwise this place is amazing!

The kids and I were offered tickets here as a gift--we'd been meaning to get out this way, so it…read morewas a much anticipated visit and did not disappoint. We passed it at first; although right off of Duquesne with a streetside sign, Ocean Adventures is in a very unassuming warehouse-esque metal building. That almost sets you up for more of a pleasant surprise when you walk inside after parking in the gravel lot behind the building (technically the front). When you walk in there are cubbies and coat hooks to deposit your things. The front desk is also right there, so not a lot of concern about things being stolen. Everyone gets a wrist band as you check in, and for the more uncooperative kiddos (one of mine) an ID sticker on their back. I didn't know this when I got there, but tickets are typically purchased in advance online as they only sell 40 tickets per session to keep it enjoyable for everyone--a policy I personally really appreciate, especially with little kids. And the unbelievable part: the tickets are only $5 T-Th and $6 F-Su. (If an adult wants to play with their kiddo, they also need a ticket, but for so little that's not a big deal for us, especially compared to prices at other kids facilities in SWMO/NWA). The facility itself: amazing. Imagine the McDonalds playset from your childhood, but without the dirty sock smell, multiple stories, more slides and a bigger ball pit. It's clean and actually smells GOOD...you can go on their website and watch/read about the cleaning routine. It's pretty impressive and the condition of the facility reflects that. I also noticed the staff making rounds every so often around the play equipment, which I also appreciated. The bulk of the play equipment is made of various nets and ropes/clear plastic windows, so your kids are almost always visible, but it's nice to see that the staff are kind of monitoring to make sure everything is in order. We really loved our visit here, our 2 hours flew by and as the kids get a little older this would be a great place to bring a book and relax at a table while they play...it's one of the few places around that feels safe enough for my comfort and entertaining enough for theirs. Until then, though, I am enjoying my excuse to "have to" play in a giant ball pit.
