Construction scene

This attraction was being built when we were in Branson in the winter of 2006. It was not open and I doubt that I would have gone, even had it been open at the time. Not only am I not in the least interested in the Titanic (have not seen any of the movies), but the building itself is historically inaccurate--the Titanic did not "ram" the iceberg. Rather, she scraped by, causing hull plates to buckle and rivets to pop, which allowed the water to get in. Also I think having such at attraction far away from any ocean coastline makes it clear that it would be pandering to the lowest common denominator.

But I'm saying that without having actually been to it. YMMV

I have been completely unable to figure out (on line) what the price is for this attraction, but you can buy tickets and also memoribillia on line.

Missouri wines are not well known outside of Missouri, but are excellent. The vintage outlet in Branson is worth visiting, not just for the free tour and samples, but as a place to purchase your table and aperitif preferences.

Tours are free at the Branson location and run every 15 minutes. Note: Wine sales do not begin until 11 a.m. on Sundays.

SDC is a place that shouldn't be missed when visiting Branson. It has something for everyone! There are great thrill rides, fun family rides, and even an area for the tiniest members of the family. There are shows that everyone can enjoy together. My brother and I saw a BMX stunt show during Kidfest a few years back and we're going again this year!! The food is great, try the bbq chicken plate! If you get there early you can see the opening show of the day. Members of the SDC cast sing some patriotic songs and raise the flag before everything opens. It's a fun way to start the day at the park

The Chinese Acrobats absolutely amazed me. I saw other shows in Branson that I thought were entertaining or funny. This is the only show that I thought was astonishing. You can see some of the great feats they perform in my travelogue.
Awe inspiring and incredible feats. We would watch one incredible performance after another.

Directions: The Shanghai Acrobats have a large hall near the junction of hwy 65 and hwy 248.

Dixie Stampede is a show owned by Dolly Parton. The show consists of silly races involving pigs and chickens, tells the story of the North and the South in the civil war, and displays many beautiful, intricate costumes with exciting actors. The show was great, but the food was even better. During the show you are served your meal-minus silverware!! The food was delicious and the show was fun. This is a must see for any family.

Directions: Located along the US 76 strip among all of the other showplaces...

Blue Velvet Theater Goddess

As the Blue Velvet theater owned by Bobby Vinton this theater has decor that is furnished and decorated in velvet telegance. More commonly or popularly known known now as Branson Variety Theater, this is a performing arts center for dance & song reviews and themes.

Opened in 1993, the Blue Velvet Theater evokes the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era. Borrowing from the extravagant era of plush movie palaces, the theater aesthetic features hand-painted ceiling murals, blue-dyed floor tiles and blue carpeting with a gold record motif, and hand-wrought iron railings imported from Spain. For more on Vinton and his theater, please see www.bobbyvinton.com.

This is not a country-western music theater, but instead offers the most variety of performances and performers.

Address: On the Ridge

Directions: High on the ridge road.

This is Silver Dollar City's splash town. I warn you that you will get wet there. Silver Dollar city is a fun place for the young and old. There are rides and shows and great food. Best of all are the crafts there.
The shows at 'SDC' are almost as good as the shows you'll pay big bucks to see in Branson.
