There’s no doubt about the positive effects of traveling to our well-being. Adventures to new places don’t just relieve stress but they also introduce us to new possibilities and opportunities. They create new relationships and memories that we can cherish until we grow old.

When it comes to traveling, there’s one place that is truly special to me and that is having the best Branson Lodging. I highly recommend this place because there are lots of things to do and so many attractions to explore. This is the best place especially to first time travelers. Whether traveling solo or with a group, you can’t go wrong with Branson. Here are things that make Branson the best vacation spot to visit this year.

Fun with Family and Friends at Silver Dollar City

Silver Dollar City is one of Branson’s premier attractions. This amusement park is truly one of a kind because it has an 18^th century vibe that is truly unique among theme parks in America. One of the highlights of SDC is the wooden roller coaster called Outlaw Run. The ride measures almost 900 meters long and it features multiple inversions that will turn you upside down and then right back up. Outlaw run is also capable of running up to 109 km/h. Also, there is a 49 meter drop that will truly leave you breathless.

Apart from awesome thrills, you can also enjoy great entertainment as SDC hosts live shows and other events. It starts with World-Fest in April and a Bluegrass and BBQ Festival in May. There’s also National Harvest & Cowboy Festival that runs from September to October. And lastly, An Old Time Christmas which happens on December, showcases traditional Christmas spirit that includes a 5 storey special Christmas Tree, 5 million lights decorated all over the amusement park, musical shows, food, and other Christmas attractions.

Nature Trip at Table Rock Lake

You can also get your nature fix in Branson by visiting Table Rock Lake. This is one of the three lakes in Branson that is open to the public (the two being Lake Taneycomo and Bull Shoal Lake). Here you can do all sorts of nature stuff like put up a camp and have picnic on the lakeshore. You can also hike around Table Rock Lake so you can get to areas that offer amazing views of the lake. If you have budget, you can book an accommodation in hotels and resort operating near Table Rock Lake. These establishments offer cozy rooms with awesome views of the lake as well as fun activities like boating, fishing, water skiing, diving, and snorkeling.
