Branson, Missouri

I am planning a trip with my daughter's class to Branson in May. Most of our activities are already planned. My daughter's violin performance team will be performing at the Jim Stafford theatre, Silver Dollar City and the Branson Belle Riverboat. We maybe seeing the Dixie Stampede and the Haygood's also. We will be staying at the Grand Country Inn. I'm interested in information regarding these shows and hotel and anything else of interest you would recommend. I am not chaparoning so I won't have to be with the kids the whole time. Is there anything you recommend not to miss while I am there or any restaurant you would recommend. We will be there May 3-6, 2006. Thanks for any information.

Re: Branson, Missouri

I don't really know anything about the shows or the hotel, but I can recommend the mini-golf course at Grand Country. It's indoor and was NOWHERE NEAR as busy as the outdoor ones . . . and it won't break the bank! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Silver Dollar City was also a lot of fun!!!

You might read christiejay's Branson report as well!

Enjoy your planning and your trip!!!! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/zwavin.gif[/img]

Re: Branson, Missouri

I took a day trip to Branson back in 1996 with my dad. We went to see Roy Clark (from Hee Haw). We arrived just after the show started & the girl at the desk ushered us in to seats in about the 5th row! She didn't even charge us - just told us she was doing her good deed for the day! I don't think he is running a show anymore - it's not listed on Branson's website anyway. If he is still there, it was a good show!

We also saw Shoji Tabuchi. OMG! That show was absolutely incredible! My father and I were very surprised. The building itself was unbelieveable. If you decide to go - you MUST take a trip to the restroom even if you don't have to go - unreal!! I wish he would tour the US!

Can't help with hotels as we only took a day trip (we were visiting in Lebanon, MO).

Hope this helps!

Re: Branson, Missouri

Sorry, we didn't go to any of those shows. However we all really enjoyed Silver Dollar City. In addition, we ate most of our meals at our cabin, so I can't comment on the restaurants.

Ride the Ducks is a highly-recommended attraction. We planned on going but the wind was too strong when we were there, and they had to close down.

There's lots of mini-golf and go-cart tracks. They have a wax museum on the strip, and a butterfly garden/museum (?) next to the Lawrence Welk Theater. (We didn't do either, but they both looked like good bets.) The Kringles Christmas store was nice, it was next to the Grand Palace.

My main suggestion is to make sure you are hungry when you go to Silver Dollar City, I could have eaten there for a week! I thought they had excellent food selection for a theme park. Try to tour the cave while you're there, we missed it [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] because of timing issues. The cost is included with your admission.
