Tucked deep in the heart of the beautiful Ozark Mountains, Branson has been home to some of Missouri’s best entertainment for 50 years! The Mabes, from nearby Springfield, Missouri started it all when they brought their musical show, the Ozarks Jubilee, to Branson in 1959. The show was performed in the basement of Branson City Hall, where they set up 50 folding chairs. But since their “theatre” was also the police station, they had to put away the stage after every performance. Brothers Bob, Jim, Bill and Lyle Mabe along with friend Chick-Allen soon became known at the Baldknobbers.

Another musical family also took its show to Branson. The Presley family originally played in a cave called the Underground Theatre of Lakeview. The cave was damp, instruments got wet and the location was out of the way. Meanwhile, Branson was developing into a popular base for travelers visiting Silver Dollar City theme park and Shepherd of the Hills, a farmstead/attraction featuring an open air production based on Wright’s novel. So the Presley Family moved out of the cave and built a simple metal building on the road west of Branson.

Today, Branson boasts 45 sparkling theaters and more than 56,000 theater seats (more than New York City’s Broadway district). And while you can still see the the Baldknobbers Show and the Presleys, you can also find a wide range of music, comedy, magic and family friendly variety shows throughout Branson.

Vacationing in and around Branson is a great destination choice. You can go from sun up to late night without running out of activities for the entire family. You can walk the town, hike the trails, ride the attractions, try your luck at fishing, or see a new show every day. Yet, at some point you’re going to want to lay your head down and rest.

Luckily, Branson offers approximately 200 lodging facilities featuring more than 18,000 rooms. Some are quiet and relaxing if that’s your style, while others offer pools, water slides, games and miniature golf to keep the kids busy. Of course, you can join the fun, or simply kick back and read a good book while relaxing by the pool.

In Branson, you’ll find a wide variety of well known chain hotels as well as many quality family owned lodgings. Choose the one that offers the amenities you desire at the price range you can best afford.

Early fall is a perfect time to visit Branson.  The three adjoining lakes, Taneycomo, Table Rock and Bull Shoals are the perfect temperature for skiing, fishing, boating, jet skiing, or just floating on a raft.

Traveling with a family can be very expensive.

That’s why it is good to know about the discount Branson tickets and accommodations available online. The savings on essentials such as hotels, attractions, and shows add up quickly so you can keep more money in your pocket for the unexpected.

Knowing that online savings are available at www.ticket2branson.com will give you a little added peace of mind when you start planning your next Branson vacation adventure.
