Branson's Family Summer Fun

The Associated Press calls Branson one of the top family vacation destinations in the country and for good reason. With three area lakes that offer an abundance of recreational opportunities from wakeboarding to scuba diving to fly fishing, and a vast array of lodging accommodations from which to choose, families of all ages and sizes choose Branson as their destination of choice for summer time fun.

Because the lakes are located just minutes from the center of town, it's easy to plan a vacation filled with outdoor recreation, shows, attractions, theme parks, shopping, amusement centers, plenty of dining options and more.

The live shows in Branson offer families with children high-tech magical illusions, Chinese acrobats, daredevil skateboard exhibitions, high-flying trapeze artists, talking dogs, buffalo stampedes, comedic characters, and, of course, a variety of styles and periods of musical entertainment.

The Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau can help make planning your trip easier and more convenient. Give us a call at 1-800-296-0463 to speak with a friendly customer service representative.
