Whether vacation planning means a few days to get away, or a week or two off, the Silver Dollar City Attractions (SDC) rank as Branson’s most popular choices for families, a travel segment that shows marked increase in the past few years. The SDC Attractions include the internationally-awarded 1880s-style theme park Silver Dollar City, the 20th Century themed amusement park Celebration City, White Water tropical adventure park and Branson’s premier lake experience, the Showboat Branson Belle. <\/p>\n

“Families now represent 41% of the travelers to Branson,” said Jerry Henry, Research Director for SDC, who says that compares to 26% in 2005. “More families are discovering Branson’s scope of entertainment, yet with a keen eye toward packaging of their entire experience.” <\/p>\n

Keeping the pressure on itself to keep the quality and quantity of family entertainment to a maximum, Silver Dollar City presents its Biggest Kids Fest Ever with an impressive list of all-new nationally branded entertainment during the National Kids Fest, running June 7 – August 10. The festival includes: <\/p>\n

The Magic of Peter Gossamer with tricks, levitations and vanishings from the nationally-acclaimed master illusionist and entertainer. <\/p>\n

Internationally-traveled performers of Ice Circus with skaters on stilts, aerialists soaring on silks, and animal-themed acrobats from around the world. <\/p>\n

The world debut of an original VeggieTales stage show, “The Invention of Silliness,” a musical adventure starring America’s favorite talking vegetables, seen nationally Saturday mornings on NBC <\/p>\n

Kid Concoctions Activity Center where kids make their own creations from the acclaimed Kid Concoctions books and television show, a PBS favorite <\/p>\n

Plus roller coasters soaring through the trees, deep underground cave exploration, two dozen themed rides, crafts and more shows <\/p>\n

Celebration City, Branson’s Biggest Nighttime Family Attraction presents its biggest ride expansion ever: the water adventure ride Roaring Falls. The Wildest New Adventure in the Ozarks takes riders on an Amazon-themed journey ending with an enormous 5-story splash finale. Celebration City also presents: performing animals with the all-new JUMP! The Ultimate Dog Show and Extreme Parrots; the spectacular nighttime Ignite the Night! with mountainside projections, lasers, water screens and pyrotechnics; and more than 30 rides and attractions. <\/p>\n

Branson’s tropical oasis, White Water, features over 2 million gallons of water and nearly 7,000 feet of slides, including Kalani Towers, a 7-story, 6-slide, multi-experience thrill ride. One of Mid-America’s top attractions, the 12-acre water park offers more than a dozen rides and attractions, from the 500,000 gallon wave pool to play areas like Little Squirts Water Works, for the ultimate summer splash experience. <\/p>\n

Branson’s premier lake experience, the 700-seat Showboat Branson Belle, celebrates the beauty of the 1890s paddlewheel riverboats with a 3-course dinner, production show and lake cruise.
