City/town information
Branson is just 45 minutes away and makes for a perfect day trip. We love going to shows (Sight and Sound Theater is my favorite), walking around Big Cedar Lodge and Top of the Rock, Dogwood Canyon, going to Silver Dollar City and White Water amusement parks, and shopping at the outlets. There are also endless things to do with kids: golf carts, mini golf, Titanic museum, Table Rock State Park and lake, WonderWorks museum. The list goes on and on. Definitely recommend checking out Branson if you have the time in your trip!
