Branson, located in southwest Missouri, is known as a "family-friendly Las Vegas" because of its lively atmosphere and plethora of attractions. The neon-lit strip is home to more than a hundred theaters hosting a wide range of captivating magic, music, and comedy performances.

In addition to the many hotels and restaurants in the area, the Titanic Museum, Ripley's Odditorium, and the Hollywood Wax Museum are just a few attractions. It is also home to many family-friendly attractions, including theme parks, go-kart tracks, mini-golf, and ziplining.

While the city's neon lights and blaring music draw most visitors, the Ozarks' pristine beauty and stunning scenery are just a short drive away. Locals and visitors to Table Rock Lake can take advantage of the lake's scenic shoreline for hiking and other watersports.
