Branson Attractions Equal Family Fun Vacation Activities....
We'll start with the fun parks where you can play mini golf or ride go-karts and bumper boats. Some of the parks will have a special kiddie section for the little ones while others add an arcade for some indoor activity. There are several that we want to tell you about so check out our fun park section. 
A cruise on one of the lakes or a ride on the rails is a good way to relax and see the scenery. On some cruises you can even see a show or have lunch or dinner. A ride on a train through the hills and valleys is one of the favorite Ozark attractions. Check out some of these in the Cruise or Ride the Rails Section. You might pick up some history along the way. If museums are at the bottom of your to do list on vacation, you'll want to change that in Branson. They're unique and fascinating and we think the kids will enjoy the museum tours as well. You'll find intriguing collections of classic cars, sunken ship memorabilia, curious oddities along with military and historical artifacts. Click here for our Museum section. 
If you haven't read the "Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Bell Wright, you really should. Published in 1907 and one of the most widely read books in history, this beautiful and moral story set in motion tourism in this area. The book has been translated into 7 languages and spurred 4 motion pictures, one featuring John Wayne. Today the book is brought to life at the Shepherd's theater. There is more to the Shepherd of the Hills Homestead. Shops, trail rides, homestead tours, the magnificent Inspiration Tower and a dinner show with the Sons of the Pioneers are added features to this beautiful attraction. Check out our page on the Shepherd of the Hills.
When we didn't have the money for a vacation, we bought season passes and had mini vacations all year and nobody got tired of it. Some of us have been coming here for over 40 years and we still anticipate our next visit. The lure of Silver Dollar City changes throughout the year with their different festivals that culminate in November and December with the Silver Dollar City Christmas. Click here to check out Silver Dollar City. 
Silver Dollar City won't be the only place to watch craftsman and artisans at work. You'll find them scattered throughout the area. It's part of what makes the Ozarks unique. Click here for a list of some of these artisans. One of our favorite Branson attractions is the beautiful Ozarks outdoors. The beauty of the Ozarks will bring out the outdoorsman in you. Trail rides and hiking trails will bring you a little closer to nature and a tour of one of the caverns in the area will enhance your outdoor experience. You will find a lot that will please your outdoor nature so check out these outdoor activities here. Sunshine and water is a perfect match for those hot summer days. Lake activities such as fishing, boating or parasailing abound. If the lake is not in your plans for the day, a fun time awaits you at both outdoor and indoor water parks. If you love golf the area has some beautiful courses nestled in the valleys. Click here for a list of the courses in the area A Branson attraction that is among our favorite things to do is the festival and there are many to choose from throughout the year. Festivals are plentiful in the towns and villages of Ozark Mountain country and tying in a day trip to one of these will be a treat. These aren't just for locals, they love to welcome the visitors from around the country. We will highlight these festivals on our day trip pages that are soon to be added as well as a special page for festivals throughout the year. You won't have to take a day trip, however, to find festivals because downtown Branson doesn't take a back seat to anyone for these great events. You'll want to learn more about the upcoming Downtown Branson Fiddle Festival and the Autumn Daze Arts and Crafts festival. A great place to visit for more on these Branson downtown festivals is
