Spring Break 2011

Spring Break 2011 in Branson, part of the Branson/Lakes Area's Ozark Mountain Spring, is packed with new and fun activities, and some once-in-a-lifetime events!

Adventure rules at Silver Dollar City’s new Half Dollar Holler, an all-new super-sized play area for little explorers, with treetop fun houses and climbing nets, box crawls and slides, mini-wave swings and truckloads of sand for hands-on play. The centerpiece is a vintage classic with a new spin: Silver Dollar City’s hand-carved carousel returns in a brand-new way with whimsical woodland creatures to ride. This million-dollar play area is a treetop wonderland designed for kids up to age 7.

This year's fun begins at Silver Dollar City, Branson's largest attraction, March 17 with Family Spring Break Days. April 1-3 is Silver Dollar City's Young Christians Weekend, and World-Fest begins April 7!

After 30 years of providing family entertainment to local residents and area visitors alike, The Track Family Fun Parks are celebrating three decades in Branson by reinvesting almost $3 million in its five Branson locations. The new tracks’ state-of-the-art steel and concrete construction will be more weather-friendly and will offer all the high-rise excitement of the other tracks. Look for the new tracks to open this Spring!

March 10-16, the Branson area will again host the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Tournament and National Championship. The games will take place at the Keeter Gymnasium at College of the Ozarks.
