Branson, Missouri is the ideal spot for a family vacation. No matter what kind of activities you enjoy, you’ll find it in Branson.

Enjoy nature

Go on the Waterfall Hike located next to the Westgate hotel, where you’ll find not one, but three waterfalls. They are smaller, but beautiful and all ages will love taking a little dip (or splashing around). Or, head to Table Rock Lake to boat, kayak, swim, or hike.

Watch a good show. 

Branson is loaded with family-friendly entertainment show choices. There are multiple theaters each offering different and unique choices.  Check out the Chinese Acrobats, enjoy Irish Dancing, or sit in awe at any of the magic shows. You can even hop on a boat on Table Rock Lake for a dinner show! There are so many shows that kids really enjoy in Branson. 

Hands-On Activities

Where to Eat

When your energy depletes, refill at Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen where everyone can pick something they love, and it will be served family-style. The food is downright

comfort food. (Pro Tip: make sure to catch the free fire and fountain show in the evenings a short walk away!) 

If you are craving "throwed rolls" or are driving in from the Springfield, Missouri area, be sure to check out Lambert's Cafe II located in Ozark, Missouri. Be ready to enjoy a great meal including pass arounds. Kids and adults both love the challenge of catching the hot, fresh rolls from across the room.  

Where to Stay

And at the end of the day, retire to a fun, family hotel. Big Cedar Lodge is a family-friendly hotel located about 15 minutes from the heart of Branson.  The Lodge is full of activities and great views, as well as special events during the holidays.

You could also stay at Grand Country, which is located in the heart of Branson’s activities. Grand Country is great for kids any time of year with both an indoor and outdoor waterpark.
