Other Activities/Things to Do:

1.) Top of the Rock-Golf Cart ride “Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail” check hours as

it changes with the season. It can also get really crowded on weekends during peak

seasons. If you can schedule to visit during the week and/or towards earlier morning

you may be able to work around the big crowds.

2.) Top of the Rock-Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum. Amazing collection of

Native American artifacts and art. The collection follows Native American history

through the Civil War. If you are a history buff you can spend a couple of hours in the

museum or you can do the speed tour. It is 35,000 square feet of exhibits!

3.) Big Cedar Spa-enjoy some R and R in a beautiful setting!

4.) Silver Dollar City-family fun with rides and activities. If you have never been to SDC

be sure to wear good walking shoes. There are hills throughout the park, it is not a flat

layout like Six Flags parks.

5.) Pink Jeep Tour

6.) Titantic Museum

7.) If you are wanting to do some shopping, you can walk The Landing, walk around

Downtown Branson area and/or Tangiers Outlet Mall

events

10.) A variety of shows are available to see depending on the time of year and what is

featured. Most of the Theaters are located on the Branson Strip which is 10 minutes

show as the Strip can get busy. A few classic shows include Dolly Parton’s Stampede

and dinner show, The Sight and Sound Theater, etc. The pop/rock music shows are

also fun…Dean Z (Elvis), Michael Jackson, The Beatles etc.
