Family-Friendly Things to Do in Branson, MO

Visit Museums

If you like combining fun and learning, then consider booking places to stay in Branson, MO, that are just a few minutes away from museums. Your kids will definitely love the Titanic Museum, which displays genuine artifacts from the actual shipwreck.

And if you want even more action, Beyond The Lens! Family Fun is a museum with interactive exhibits, virtual reality games, and augmented reality games. Seriously, the list of things to do in Branson, MO, just goes on and on!

Explore Nature

Want your kids to explore nature? You’re in luck. Branson has plenty of outdoor activities to offer. You can take them to the famous Lake Taneycomo, where they can go fishing, parasailing, boat-riding, and more. You can visit Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, a 10,000-acre property where they can go horseback riding, hiking, and biking, all while marveling at the gorgeous Ozark mountains. They can also go camping and scuba-diving or hit the trails and have a picnic at Table Rock Lake.

Enjoy Theme Parks

You’ll never go wrong with bringing your kids to theme parks just like Silver Dollar City. Here you will find plenty of rides and attractions (40, to be exact!) for a non-stop, fun-filled family day. And if you all want to take a break from the heart-pounding rides, head on over to the craftsmen who will show you the art of pottery, glass blowing, woodcarving, and more.

Other theme parks that your kids will definitely enjoy are Track Family Fun Park, Bigfoot Fun Park, and 7D Dark Ride Adventure.

Dine at Kid-Friendly Restaurants

A vacation is never complete without everyone bonding over food. And your kids will undoubtedly enjoy what Branson has to offer, even if they are picky eaters! Apart from great food, Branson kid-friendly restaurants give unique dining experiences for their little guests.

For instance, the Silver Mine Restaurant, an underground restaurant within Silver Dollar City, mimics how a 100-year old mining area looks to keep kids entertained as they eat through sandwiches, salads, and even pizzas. If they’re feeling a little bit musical, take them instead to Mel’s Hard Luck Diner, where you can all listen to toe-tapping, singing waiters throughout your meals.

Other kid-friendly restaurants to try are Papa Grand’s Pizza, Rowdy Beaver Restaurant, Pasghetti’s, Danna’s BBQ & Burger Shop, and Farmhouse Restaurant.
