Things move a little slower in this year’s season here in Branson. The leaves take their time turning the lovely gold color we love so much, the cool air leisurely makes its way to our little corner of the Ozarks, and we feel no need to rush the few hours in a day we are allowed.
Vacation in Branson is a time to escape the daily grind’s struggles and realities. It’s a time to unwind, relax in a cozy inn or enjoy the grand views from an upper-level hotel room, experience fun and exciting new things, taste incredible food, and most importantly, create memories with those you love. For most, vacation is a sacred time you look forward to and work hard to earn. When deciding on the perfect destination, you must choose the right one.

2. Exciting Attractions
After you’ve hit the famous 76 “Strip” shows, you can find thrilling adventures around nearly every corner! Maybe you’d like to feel the wind whip through your hair as you zip through the beautiful canopy of a zipline tour or catch the view from the top of the famous Branson Ferris Wheel, or even experience the high-speed intensity of racing down the side of a mountain at the Runaway Mountain Coaster (pro tip: it’s even more relaxed at night!)

3. Beautiful Lakes and Scenery
Branson is located right in the middle of the beautiful Ozark Mountains and is surrounded by three amazing lakes. Table Rock Lake boasts more coastline than the state of California with all its fingerling alcoves. It’s an excellent lake for fishing, but more importantly, boating and tubing. Families and anglers can enjoy not just one beautiful lake but three! The river-like Taneycomo, ideal for kayaking and trout fishing in the cooler water, and nearby Bull Shoals lake, a local favorite for swimming and tubing, are both popular options! In addition to the lakes, Branson is also home to many beautiful and challenging hiking trails that make it the ideal getaway for outdoorsy types.
