Branson, Missouri is a music lover’s dream. With over 200 shows and activities, it’s no wonder that so many tourists flock to the area every year. You name it and Branson has it covered, from country to gospel, rock and roll to bluegrass, Broadway to pop and everything in between. Other fun things to do in Branson include train rides, ghost tours, dinner shows, and more!

See a spectacular extravaganza of elegant eastern dance, dazzling acrobatics, mysterious magic, mystical music, and more at the Acrobats of China Show featuring the New Shanghai Circus in Branson. I would also recommend the Amazing Pets Show for animal lovers and a Ghost and Haunt Tour for those intrigued to hear stories of the strange and unexplained.

Fall Folliage Train

Don’t miss the changing canvas of autumn colors and a journey that you will remember for a lifetime on the Arkansas & Missouri Fall Foliage Train to Van Buren from Springdale. This 134-mile round trip is an 8-hour scenic tour through the Boston Mountains that includes a two and a half hour stay in Historical Van Buren, where you can enjoy shopping at over 80 stores and dine at several fine restaurants. You are almost guaranteed to leave the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad with the feeling of a warm, baked apple pie in your heart.

Be sure to see Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede for a fantastic four-course dinner and show. The show is energetic and entertaining, with crowd participation encouraged. The cast includes 32 horses, live buffalo and ostrich races, and boasts an impressive show filled with magic and special effects. Definitely a must-see for the entire family. Whatever your reason for visiting, you’ll find all the information you need about tours and shows in Branson (tickets, pricing, availability, and schedules) conveniently online at Branson Show Tickets!

Branson is the ideal destination for live entertainment, earning it the moniker “Live Entertainment Capital of the World.” As such, it is impossible to see everything on offer in a single day. With that in mind, Branson Shows has created several vacation packages designed to showcase the best of the best, nicely tied together in a single deal.

The Stone Castle Weekend Vacation Package, which is offered from April through September, gives you a chance to enjoy the city for three days and two nights. Included in the package is accommodation at The Stone Castle Hotel or you can book a similar package with a stay at the Lodge of the Ozarks. It is slightly more expensive to stay at the Lodge because it is located on the Strip, but this is an optimal location for those who want to get out and explore beyond the confines of this package.

The weekend agenda is as follows. On Friday night you will enjoy a 6:30 pm showing of the SIX Dinner Show, where you will dine by candlelight before listening to the musical stylings of six very talented brothers. The group not only sings but uses vocal percussion, meaning that the only accompanying sounds are those of the voices themselves.

On Saturday afternoon, you will have a choice between three shows, all starting at 3 pm. You can sit in on the Acrobats of China show, which features amazing stunts and a vibrant celebration of Chinese history and culture, or you can tune in for Country Tonite, a tribute to the country music of yesterday and today. Finally, you can opt for the entertaining Kirby & Bambi VanBurch Magic Show for a dose of rousing theatrics and large-scale illusions, with a collection of exotic animals thrown into the mix. In the evening you will choose between the Shoji Tabuchi Show - which includes Shoji himself along with his gifted wife and daughter - and the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede Dinner & Show.

During the holidays, you can take advantage of the Branson Christmas Weekends Package, which also takes place over three days and two nights. Accommodations for this package are provided by either The Stone Castle Hotel or the Lodge of the Ozarks. The itinerary is laid out in the following way. On Friday night you will get to see the Kirby and Bambi VanBurch Christmas Spectacular Magic Show and your Saturday morning entertainment will come from the Shoji Tabuchi Christmas Show. Saturday night is reserved for the Dolly Parton Dixie Christmas Dinner & Show. Put all these elements together and you get a nice taste of the true spirit of Christmas!

It is clear that Branson Shows really did their homework when creating these packages, and you can probably expect more equally appealing packages in the near future. To book one of the packages mentioned here, or to take a look at some of the individual tours currently on offer, visit www.Branson-Shows.net.
