It began on the roof of the hotel, with a extraordinary view of downtown Eureka Springs, where we we provided the history of the area-as narrated by Joseph (who was both well spoken and knowledgeable)! We were additionally given a history of the colorful characters formerly residing In the hotel and were provided access to a free app, that we could use on the tour, showing us the paranormal activity actually taking place right around us. The tour lasted almost 2 hours. A great way to learn about the history of Eureka Springs, the paranormal activity in the hotel - and to have fun. Highly recommend it!

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.

On the homepage of the website, it boasts that they are just a short walk from the city's top attractions. The closest attraction, legends in concert, is about 1.6 miles away and a 37 minute walk. The road that you need to walk on doesn't have a sidewalk, path, or shoulder. It has rolling hills and curves. Making a left hand turn onto it can be challenging. I think walking along it would be a bit death-defying. Check in. We were on the road for about 11 hours with breaks. After you get your room assigned, you were told to go to a little room to get your parking pass. This is where they want to sell you a timeshare. I don't know about you, but the first thing I think about after driving 11 hours is buying a timeshare. I told the first person that we didn't have any interest in it. She brought in another guy I told him we didn't have any interest. He said they were different and that they had a written guarantee not to pressure you. I told him that I've already said no to you and someone else and we're still going. He said well, I had to dry. You would think this would be the end of it. However, I received a call Monday, Tuesday, and two calls on Wednesday. They use the premise of we're just checking up on your visit to see if you have everything or on Wednesday they wanted to know when we were going to check out. The checkout day is Sunday. I had to go visit their office again to tell them that I wasn't interested and to stop calling me. Thankfully, the calls stopped. Housekeeping and maintenance. The room has a pull out couch for sleeping. We tried to find the sheets for it but we're unable to locate them. I requested sheets and never received any. There is a fitness center and pool. There are towels in the fitness center, but not in the pool area. We were told that our towels for the pool were on top of the dryer. There were none. There was no dishwashing soap. We are caught in a rainstorm. When we used the dryer for some of our things, there was a loud banging sound. The lint trap and its cover had come loose or were loose. I tried to put it back together and was unable to. Toilet number one probably needs a flapper valve. It seems to randomly run. Toilet number two is loose and rocks when you're sitting on it. If you use the shower, make sure you put a towel on the door. The towel rack is located on the wall. If you open the shower door, you will cover up the towel rack. Which means you have to get completely out of the way of the shower door and close it to access the towels. Part of the door sweep on the front door is missing, leaving a fairly large hole. You can see the sun coming through. On day one when we arrived home we saw ants coming in through the hole. On day two we noticed that there were ants on the kitchen counter. We called maintenance. They sent two guys to spray. They sprayed from the doorway all the way along the carpet, approximately 15 feet over the countertop around the dishwasher and around our paper towels, paper plates, and paper bowls. this left us with puddles of ant poison and ant debris. We were left with the cleanup of our kitchen and floors. We were also concerned about ingesting some of the poison. It seems logical that you would move guests out of a room, take care of the problem, and clean up.

You know things are about to get interesting when a 200-foot tower named "Gravity Bomb" looms over…read morethe parking lot and there's a cartoon Bigfoot giving you a thumbs up like, "Yeah, trust me, this'll be fun." Welcome to Bigfoot Fun Park in Branson--a place where your inner child meets your adult-level fear of heights and your wallet quietly starts sweating. We started with the mini golf, because nothing gets the blood pumping like passive-aggressive putting. The course was glow-in-the-dark, covered in caves, waterfalls, and Bigfoot-themed props. At one point I putted through a log that looked suspiciously like a porta-potty. My ball ricocheted into a fake pond and I pretended that was part of the experience. Then came the main event: the Bigfoot Action Tower. There are two options--either shoot 200 feet in the air like you just stepped on a LEGO, or drop straight down like a terrified ragdoll. We did the drop ride, and I swear time slowed down. I heard colors. I made promises to the universe. And when we landed, I couldn't stop laughing--or maybe crying, it's all a blur. The arcade was next, where we exchanged real dollars for digital tokens and digital tokens for tickets, and then tickets for one (1) glow-in-the-dark rubber chicken. Worth it? Spiritually, yes. We peeked into the Yeti Fun Zone, which is like a jungle gym on caffeine. Kids were leaping off platforms, zipping down slides, and flopping into air bags like little gymnastic possums. I considered joining but remembered I'm at the age where I can injure myself sneezing. To finish the trip, we checked out the 8D theater ride, which included VR goggles, laser guns, and an on-screen Bigfoot in what I can only describe as the weirdest cowboy vs. alien vs. sasquatch scenario ever rendered. All in all, Bigfoot Fun Park is weird, wild, and unexpectedly charming. It's like someone asked, "What if Chuck E. Cheese married a roller coaster and they had a baby raised by Bigfoot?" And honestly? That baby turned out great.
