Pros: Getting up close and personal with the smell of horse crap at Dixieland Stampede
Cons: The revelation that I don't enjoy the smell of horse crap

First of all, I chose to go to Branson because I wanted to have a glimpse of cheesiness at its height. And I was not disappointed in the least. This place was so bad, so awful, so NOT Las Vegas, I can only compare it to what it would be like if all the...

Pros: Great views, fishing, nearby Branson
Cons: Water too cold to swim for me!

Lake Taneycomo is a great place to stay if you want to combine fishing with your visits to Branson and Silver Dollar City.

Known for its trout fishing, Lake Taneycomo looks more like a VERY wide river than a lake which flows between two dams....

Pros: Integrating course design with rugged Ozark Mountain topography, the courses are both scenic and challenging.
Cons: Too many courses to choose from.

Pros: The scenery was beautiful, entertainment almost everywhere
Cons: The traffic is congested all the time! They need to do something about these roads.

This place was an intense disappointment. I've thought about it as "The Entertainment Capitol", with bands performing in an un-countable number of theatres (and even fast-food restaurants). But when we got off U.S. 65, we started seeing a traffic...

Pros: Much to see and do for the whole family
Cons: A little too touristy, things can become quite expensive

Branson is situated by a lake and is known mostly for it's live shows. It basically appears to be a smaller Las Vegas, with large buildings swathed in neon, the only difference being that here, you can not gamble. Branson city itself has a population...

Branson, MO, is a place with a million things to do. Theme parks, shopping, shows, mini golf, you name it, they got it. The main road (Hwy 76 Country Music Blvd.) is littered with theatres, mini golf courses, shops, go-cart tracks, and restaurants. The...

Pros: Beautiful grounds and unique paintings
Cons: A little ways off the highway

This is not really about Branson but it was as close as I could get. If you are travelling to Branson, take the time to stop in Carthage, MO. We were on our way to Springfield from Dallas, TX and we just followed the signs from the highway. The signs...

Pros: Good During Off Season, Plenty to DO
Cons: high taxes, not many choices during off season

My husband and I recently traveled to Branson for a business trip. We were there on a Tuesday and stayed until Thursday. Many of the shows and stores were not open. Branson is basically closed during the "off" season. Some of the...

Pros: Something to entertain anyone, any age
Cons: traffic is the only thing

I am from Missouri and have been to Branson three times in a span of about 10 years. Branson is a great place to go on vacation, especially for families because Branson has something to entertain all ages.

When I went as a young child...

Pros: A Really Big Shew!
Cons: A Really Big Shew!

Having made several trips to Branson over the years, I must bewail the citification and subsequent ruin of a terrific little town. Twenty years ago B.K. (Before Kids), my wife and I made our first visit there. The most expensive show was (no kidding)...

Pros: Silver Dollar City, Shopping, and Food
