Branson - The Don'ts of Visiting Branson, Missouri

Described as the Las Vegas of the midwest (for the shows, not the gambling) Branson is a popular tourist destination with over the top tourist attractions set near some incredible natural beauty with the Ozarks nearby. Whether you are going to watch the "fire" works on the river, zipline, or see a show there is a lot to do in Branson, there is also a lot of things NOT to do in Branson, Missouri.

Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

My home town. It's corny but i'll always love it. DO NOT TALK TO THE TIMESHARE GUYS. IF THEY ARE OFFERING YOU SOMETHING, THEY ARE TIMESHARE GUYS AND THEY WILL RUIN YOUR VACATION, TRUST ME, I KNOW THEM.

One more don't.... Don't be guilted or persuaded by all the shifty timeshare salesman that offer the moon for an hour of your time (which will end up being an excruciating 3-4 hour torture session).

The people who work in all the places are really, REALLY nice though and genuinely so glad you came to visit!

I live in Branson, own a business, and sure do appreciate your video! We travel all over the world, and I have watched your videos for ages... it’s so nice to see you’ve visited my backyard! Great, spot on video!!!

I live in Branson. There are LOTS of things to do off the strip. We adore hiking the well taken care of trails, grabbing a Subway and having a picnic at Hollister downtown Branson, but quiet and all the boats going back and forth on Taneycomo. HIGHLY recommend spending a day in Eureka Springs and lots of nice places to stay there. Do Not Miss Lodge of the Ozarks....the Bass Pro Resort south on the Top Of the Rock....also a Bass Pro Product. GORGEOUS at all times of the of course, always go to Silver Dollar City! Christmas time there is magical! The best!

Sight and Sound Theatre is a MUST! Better than anything you’ll ever see on Broadway! Top notch productions! Dean

"My dad says it's like Vegas if Ned Flanders ran it." Best description ever.

[jayblevins]

Just remember, if it says "FREE TICKETS" it's a TIMESHARE TOUR!

[sheilahenderson]

We live here. Traffic now s NOTHING compared to the 80s and 90s, where it could take 59 minutes to drive 4 miles on the strip!

[christistrickland]

Ok very accurate and just one thing I suggest. If it is a holiday weekend do not expect easy accommodations. We do fill up on holidays and during special events in Branson. Don't make a bad trip by not being prepared.

I LOVE Branson!!! my mom and I have been going and staying just off the strip for over 10 years, love love love Branson

[maddiewalker]

I'm a branson local of 22 years and there are so many back roads you can take to avoid the immense traffic, however if youve never been to branson before, you need to drive 76 at least once

I worked as an audio engineer in Branson for several years. All theatres have a motto when creating their productions: "If you can't say or do it in front of your Grandma, you can't say or do it on stage." I recall many production meetings where the discussion was about how much of a female dancer's midriff should we show? Now I work at a major university - I miss Branson. It was a great place to raise kids and a wonderful fun place to live. If the theatres could afford me, I'd go back.

I ❤️ Branson so much, I am looking at property and surrounding areas.

Skip the Dolly Parton Stampede. It was an awful expience in do many ways.

The Elvis impersonator Dean Z. Is a MUST!! So much fun!!

Love the steamboat dinner and show. The mini golf courses is so much fun.

Branson is GORGEOUS. LOVE Table Rock and the Ozarks too!

[loralyngareis]

I’ll be going down there this fall with my husband, sister and brother in law to celebrate our anniversaries, 45 years for us and 45 years for them! I am so excited and your video is very helpful. Thank you! If you have other ideas, feel free to share!

Branson:
Small town with a lot of trafic in the Summer, family friendly, very conservative, a lot of country and 1950's music, Christian vibe with a lot of tourist cheese on the side.

[clintferguson]

Branson is by far one of the coolest and most fun cities I've been to in my entire life. I absolutely LOVED Silver Dollar City. Me and my dad went during a week day and I didn't have to wait in line to go on the rides! An absolutely wonderous place. I LOVE IT!

[kens.]

You are as High Energy as Me and that’s a Great thing. 😬 Very Nice job describing things in your video. Thanks! 👍🙏

[cindybrunken]

The Presley’s are my favorites! Clean, wholesome family entertainment!

[jasoncoburn]
