Branson Discount Bookings with Tourism Bookings

If you've travelled to Branson 15-20 years ago, forget about it. It's not the same. Considerably fewer local businesses. All the Big Name country singers are gone. There are many more corporate businesses now.. It's lost it's "Small town" flavor... If you've never been, and have no expectations of what it was, by all means, go and enjoy.

Enjoyed Long Horn and Cheddar restaurants and visited Billy Bob's for hamburgers out of this world. Shopping at Dick's Five and Dime is a must experience. Driving the many alternate roads to get to your destinations is great!

We go to Branson several times a yr for dance competition our biggest being nationals last week may first of june every year. We have gone and played mini golf on some trips, hike trails and gone to park and it all depends what time of yr we are there and if its raining. Love going to the book stores. We usually go to at least 1 restaurants each time we are there, some very good eating also, but willing to eat be willing to pay.

If you have special needs regarding shows, we have the most luck going directly to the show's box office. The Sight & Sound box office staff and the Presleys were very accomodating with finding us comfortable seating for my husband who is large and has difficulty walking any distance. I also requested a room at the Grandview Inn that would be close to the lobby and the breakfast area. Our room was just off the lobby and right across from the breakfast area. Even in this location, our room was still quiet and not noisy at all.

Wonderful, patriotic, family oriented, positive energy shows. Good variety of restaurants for any budget. Recommend: Pickin Porch has good inexpensive food and live music some afternoons. Roccos Pizza for quick meal between shows. Mel's Hard Luck Diner with convenient location and singing waiters promoting their shows. Recommended shows; 1) Queen Ester at the Sight and Sound Theater with fantastic stage setting, technical effects and performance. 2) Clay Cooper with great variety of performers, uplifting music and technical effects. 3) Irish Tenors with Celtic Dancers with very energetic singing and dancing show. 4) George Dyer acclaimed opera performer with show ranging from opera classics to Phantom of the Opera to popular and religious songs. Highly recommend Shepard of the Hills; went to it many years ago, but was rained out this visit.

wanted to see a show. But- at $300 for 2 it did NOT make good sense. Dinner was also expensive, in my opinion, at $40 for 2, swahi passed off as southern fish, what, southern vietnam? Catfish was expected. Dont think we will ever return.
