Branson, overall, is a blast. Highly recommend it for some inexpensive family fun. I used Save On Branson and got major discounts on everything.
The scenic railway was a snooze. The food was average but the waitstaff were great.
At one point it may have been fun, but that was 30 years ago before the trees blocked the view.
My wife and I enjoyed it. Aside from what I thought was the single best thing about it, people everywhere who are mostly conservative, Christian, and MAGA, the two attractions we enjoyed the most were the Sight and Sound Theater (just fantastic) and the self-guided golf cart tour at the Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge. In fact, Big Cedar Lodge was a great place to just hang out and relax.
Now you canโt see the forest for the trees!
