Branson, Missouri

We vacationed here in July and had a great time. We stayed at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. The hotel was nice. We had a nice balcony off our room. If you are traveling with children I recommend taking them to WonderWorks. Go that morning because your ticket allows you to go in and out for that day. If you like adventure check out Frith Adventures, the ropes course and zip line is fun, so is the ninja warrior wall, but be careful on it I took a hard fall because I couldn’t hold on. The Top of the Rock tour in really nice, very peaceful and beautiful pictures of nature. We had a great time. We encountered very few people of color but we didn’t have any issues. Make sure you visit the Amish Country Store I didn’t find any special places to eat, we liked Landry’s and Joe’s Crab Shack but those are chain restaurants. The pizza at Mellow Mushrooms was also good but it’s another chain. You may want to check out Hurts Doughnuts for a little snack. If you like your doughnut warm make sure you tell them before you get it they can’t take it back once it leaves them. The guy was really nice and offered to give me a heated one from behind the counter. Check out the Five and Dime store on the Promenade Landing Strip if you like candy from childhood, I was born in 1966 and I found some of my favorites. This was our third trip to Branson and we will go back.
