Attractions and Activities
Now that you’ve made it to Branson—dogs in tow—it’s time to get out and active! Let your pup take the lead at the Branson Landing as you walk along Lake Taneycomo and take in all the sights, sounds, and smells! There, you can make a stop at Don’t 4 Get About Me, the pet supply store, and get some yummy treats and stylish accessories for your furry pal. Talk about waggin’ tails!
The Elmo and Rosalea Marrs Memorial Dog Park is the perfect place to let your four-legged friend explore the Ozarks! It is a 1.5 acre fenced facility where dogs are able to roam unleashed and play with new friends—a great stop to make for your fur-baby! Visitor passes are available through the Branson RecPlex.
If you’re looking for a bit of an outdoor challenge for a rambunctious pup, look into the Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area! Their paved trails whisk you away to beautiful views of the Ozarks, and your furry pal will surely feel quite accomplished upon returning to the vehicle. 🙂
Dining
Your dog could not possibly miss out on all the good food to be had in Branson. That would just be cruel! As there are many dog lovers in Branson, pet-friendly dining options abound!
At Billy Bob’s Dairy Land on the Strip, chow down on all-American burgers, fries, and milkshakes. You and your dog can enjoy patio seating in the middle of all the Branson busyness!
Sugar Leaf Bakery and Cafe features an outdoor seating area where you and your pup will be welcome to rest your legs and nibble on delicious lunch options!
Danna’s BBQ and Burger Shop is another Branson must-stop! At their outdoor picnic table, you can dig in to some of the area’s best BBQ and classics, and your furry friends will definitely enjoy any scraps that happen to make their way to the ground. 😉
The White River Fish House is a great stop that sits on Lake Taneycomo at the south end of the Landing! Their outdoor seating is pet-friendly and a great place to end your fun at the Landing.
