3. Visit Silver Dollar City – Quite possibly the biggest attraction for families, this full-fledged theme park includes great roller coasters, rides, and unbeatable food, vendors. Go back in time with blacksmith shops and saloon shows for a truly unique experience. During our Branson trip, we visited Silver Dollar City. It was an awesome “WOW” experience to watch how glass was made (hey, how about that educational fun!).  We all loved seeing and meeting the Harlem Globetrotters! The boys were able to get their basketball signed. Be sure to stop by And they have some of the best cinnamon rolls!
