We're going there in July and was wondering what you all thought about the town? Is it good for kids.Safe? Thanks
My Mom lived in Springfield, MO for awhile and I still have family there. Branson is great for families. Check out Silver Dollar City. It was a favorite when I was a kid. I also used to love Shepard of the Hills theater and play. It's a really cool story and I found it funny as a kid. There is a place downtown that has the best fruit pies I've ever had in my life. I am a pie snob so me saying it's the best means a lot. I can't remember the name but, will check with family and let you know.
If you have a chance go up to Springfield and check out Bass Pro. It is the original Bass Pro Shop and is freakishly huge with an amazing fresh water aquarium. Hemingway's restaurant inside is amazing and they have wonderful Key Lime Pie.
Have a great trip!
They now have a life size replica of the Titanic with the grand staircase.
There's a really cool museum inside - I spent 3 hours in there. No kidding. It was awesome!
We spent a day wandering around downtown and it was really neat and old fashioned. And there's a new shopping/food complex by the river, Branson Landings or something like that. I did more shopping in Branson during one week than I had in the past year, easily.
