Love music? Enjoy watching people? This is the place for you! Grab a seat before the show starts at 8 p.m., and you don't have to pay a cover charge. Dueling pianos battle it out with songs by request. Superb pianists play all genres of music - from 1920s Bing Crosby to SnoopDog's rap and all your oldies, country, hip hop, blues, and pop in between.

Branson Landing

Shop your favorite stores, dine at great restaurants (we like Famous Dave's BBQ), grab an ice cream, ride the trolley, or see the spectacular light, fire, and music fountain show. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening, on the banks of Lake Taneycomo.

Moonshine Beach

(10 minutes away - map) $4 per car, per day
A sandy beach to build sandcastles, but wear your water shoes since the beach turns to fine rocks when you get to the water. Be sure to bring a cooler with drinks and snacks since there is none available there. They have an awesome playground for the kids when they tire of the water and sand, as well as clean and very nice bath and shower houses. There is also a large pavilion packed with picnic tables to get out of the sun. In addition, there is a boat launch and a courtesy dock nearby.
Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. May 15 to September 15

Mini Golf

(10 - 20 minutes away)
An all time favorite for our boys! Courses vary in theme and difficulty, but kids have fun at them all! We enjoy 3 different courses at The Tracks, Dinosaur Canyon, and Pirate's Cove, and the indoor golf for rainy days at Grand Country and the Family Fun Factory.

Ride the Ducks

(10 - 20 minutes away, 2 different locations) price varies
The tour is approximately 90 minutes long. It takes you on a tour of Branson, to one of the highest points in the area for an awesome view of Table Rock Lake, and then into the water for a swim. The drivers have fun with Branson lore and corny jokes and let the kids drive on the water. Everyone gets a "quacker" at the beginning of the rider, which the kids get the hang of immediately! An engaging tour for the kids, but 2 and 3 year olds may have a hard time trying to stay in their seat (no seatbelts or car seats). The windows are open, so it is very windy and can get chilly.
