Branson, MO has been on my list of places to visit for a long time now. If I would have seen this offer in the summer, I would have totally taken a road trip. According to google maps, Branson is only 628 miles from Austin (10 hours!). Maybe a 4 day weekend will do :) So, when I saw this offer available through Social Spark, I decided to pre plan my next vacation and possibly yours…
Table Rock Lake

1: Currently at the Hiltons of Branson you can get the 3rd night free, 2 adult and 2 kids silver dollar city passes, a $25 shopping gift card, and a $25 food credit at the Steakhouse at the HIlton. They call this the best value package :)  


2: The silver dollar city “combines the wholesome family fun of a major theme park with the timeless appeal of crafts and a dedication to preserving 1880s Ozarks culture.” There are over 100 craftsmen and women in the park including (what I think would be my favorites)… the glass cutter and candy maker! They demonstrate all day long :)

3: Visit one of Branson’s Branson’s 3 pristine lakes: Table Rock Lake, Lake Taneycomo and Bull Shoals Lake. All three lakes are part of the White River waterway, which is known for world-class fishing and water activities.

4: I want to  check out the Table Rock Dam. It reaches 252 feet above the river bed, is 6,423 feet in length, and has 10 Spillway Crest Gates. There is a fish hatchery with TONS of fish and you can feed them too. You can even take a FREE tour and learn about how dams generate electricity

5: Take a swim at Moonshine beach… this is the only sand swim beach on Table Rock Lake. it has a playground, picnic tables, and it’s FREE :)

    What other fun, free things are there to do in Branson, MO? It looks like there are TONS of show, theaters, and golf courses to keep a family entertained for weeks. Have you ever been to Branson, MO?

      It's been a long time since I've been there-I worked there one summer in college. Pretty much all the stuff you mentioned are the best parts. The shows are super cheesy and unless you get a free pass, I wouldn't fork out the money for them!

      Lake Taneycomo has a fun riverboat cruise. I'm not sure how much it costs.
