Nothing is slowing the traffic to Branson Missouri as the Spring rolls in with sunshine and 70 degree days.
We were out on the town yesterday and spotted a few new restaurants and yogurt shops opening for business just as the spring traffic starts to flow into Branson. Shopping at the factory outlets and walking down on the Landing makes for an awesome afternoon in the sun. Stop by Andy's Custard for an afternoon treat. Don't forget to check out some of the great spring lodging deals at Myer Hotel properties in Branson. The number one hotelier in the area has multiple lodging locations all over town. Indoor pools are important for our spring break travelers and the kids pack their swimming suits to make sure they get to use them. While at one of the great Branson Best Westerns or Comfort Inns stop by the ticket outlet and check on this months show and attraction specials. For questions about lodging or shows call 800-443-8694.
Branson is noted for its award winning shows and The Twelve Irish Tenors is a definite winner! These twelve, talented, young men perform in the Branson Variety Theater located on Highway 76. Diverging from the country music flare of many Branson shows, The Twelve Irish Tenors are a unique group featuring a genre of music spanning traditional Irish folk, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and a tour of famous operas. With abundant energy, humor, and rich tenor voices, these boys keep the audience greatly entertained! Concluding the show with Queen's "Barcelona," this fifty-plus woman thought the musical number would be WAAAAAYYY over-the-top for the sixty to seventies crowd in the audience. But this talented group had the audience on their feet when the last note of Barcelona was sung!
Navigating show times and lodging while attempting to enjoy all the fun things to do in Branson, can be daunting. Our in-house ticket service, offered free of charge and operated by Branson locals who know the city and its attractions well, provides guests the tools to plan a stress-free vacation.
