[QUOTE=ranles;12252513] Any comments on the following?:
In Branson we are considering the following
Silver Dollar City

We have taken the kids to SDC many times over the years. While the Branson hype doesn't appeal to us, the kids love SDC. We check the SDC website toward the end of the year to purchase our SDC tickets in advance for the following year. They offer specials, including free guest passes etc. for early purchase. We like to buy the season passes to use while we are in town. it allows us to go in an out at our leisure. Which also allows us to leave if the weather is not nice or the park is overcrowded, etc. The early buy deals include free guest passes, good at certain times. If your visit is scheduled at the right time, often you can buy(for example) 2 season passes and use your free guest passes for other members of your party.
The cave tour at SDC is very nice. The park is filled with flowers, lots of shaded areas, lots of benches, plenty of places to relax. There are rides for the daredevils in your group and relaxing rides for me! They have shows throughout the park and a very nice evening show(included in admission) at the amphitheater. A Gospel Show is held in the amphitheater on Sunday. They also have their artisans demonstrating their talents at shops throughout the park and a variety of festivals scheduled throughout the year. Check out the SDC website for more info.They are adding new things all the time.


Bass Pro Shop This is in Springfield, not Branson, unless they have added a new one. My husband has stopped at many Bass Pro shops and this is really the nicest one to me. Lots of Wildlife displays in addition to the hunting and fishing supplies.
HTH!
