Father's Day in Branson Missouri!

Wednesday, May 4, 2011 by Kathy Hoeck
Are you racking your brain trying to think of a great way to celebrate dad on Father's Day?  Join us here in Branson and let us help you plan the perfect weekend.  Located beside the Titanic Museum, the Best Western Center Pointe Inn is located in the heart of Branson's entertainment.  Father's Day weekend, June 18 and 19, Bass Pro Shops will host their Father's Day Bass Pro Boat Show in the parking lot of the museum.  Dad will be able to view some of the newest and fastest models on the market, including fishing, pontoon party boats, ski, and sport boats.  As I've mentioned before, the Titanic Museum is free to children ages 4 and under.  This unique attraction is shaped like the Titanic herself and was built half-scale to the original. 

Plan on challenging Dad to a race around one of the 5 conveniently located Branson Tracks.  You can buy your go pass at the hotel and save money at any of the Family Friendly go-kart tracks.  Branson also showcases four outstanding golf courses and our award winning hotel, theComfort Inn at Thousand Hills  located on Wildwood Drive, is adjacent to the beautiful Thousand Hills Golf Course.  After a fantastic weekend like this, you can count on Dad taking you swimming in the indoor pool  and relaxing in the hot tub back at the hotel.  Each hotel offers iBranson Ticket Services to  help you plan an incredible time for your family over Father's Day weekend -- call us today at 877-FUN-STAY (877-386-7829). 

Culture and History abound in Branson's Museums!

Saturday, April 23, 2011 by Kathy Hoeck

Featuring the final Branson museums, I want to highlight a few in Branson --  Venturing a few miles south of Branson to Point Lookout, the College of the Ozarks is home to several historic sites and this beautiful campus is a must see Branson attraction.  The Ralph Foster Museum is dedicated to the history of the Ozarks and the Edwards Mill is a working mill powered by a 12-foot water wheel.  Creating memories with your children would not be complete without teaching them about the men and women who have served our great country in all branches of military service.   The Veterans Memorial Museum honors those who have provided the freedoms we enjoy today.  Welcoming you at the front door is a full-size World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane and inside over 2,000 military artifacts.  Your hearts will be touched as you exit the museum after viewing the 15-ton bronze sculpture consisting of 50 life-size solders storming a beach.  Names of the men and women who lost their lives serving our country line the walls throughout the museum.  Our award winning Branson hotels are centrally located and will allow you easy access to all the fun things to do in Branson!  Let our dedicated staff help you with all your vacation needs -- call us today at 877-FUN-STAY!

Branson Dining Surprises

Monday, April 18, 2011 by Kathy Hoeck
My son, Kyle and I went on a date to Billy Bob's restaurant last week.  If you haven't eaten at Billy Bob's you are really missing out!  Not only will you enjoy a world-class hamburger and fries, milkshakes, and limeades, you will dine in a relaxing, extraordinarily friendly atmosphere.  Locals and regular guests to Branson are crazy about this little hamburger joint.  While we were enjoying our hamburgers, we were also treated to an amazing Branson quartet -- the Cat's Pajamas when they walked into the diner and sang a couple songs to the crowd.  The Cat's Pajamas is a group of 5 young men creating the sound of an entire band using only their voices.  Featured in the third season of America's Got Talent, these guys will wow you with their high energy, humor, charm, and powerhouse voices.  After touring worldwide for the past 5 years, they will be performing in the Dutton Theater from March through December 2011.  The Dutton Theater is located on west highway 76 a few blocks from the Best Western Center Pointe Inn.  Contact one of our staff members at 877-FUN-STAY (877-386-7829) and allow us to handle all your Branson entertainment needs and provide you with great service at our award-winning Branson hotels.
