Silver Dollar City Hotels For A Theme Park Holiday

By Elaine Guthrie


One of the prime attractions for visitors exploring the Ozarks is the Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. It's a retro Ozark-themed park that blends in nicely into the slow-paced family friendly draw of the area. From March through December when the park is open, it's hard to find Silver Dollar City hotels that are not sold out.

It's best to plan for the stay, but the choice of a hotel requires careful consideration of many factors. Price is obviously a key issue, as are the location, amenities and the size of the group or family that needs to stay in a room or suite. Considering that most people who come here are tourists or travelers, it might also be a good idea to factor in plans for the stay.

A family driving through Branson on US-65 might prefer something that is on the way and near the park. But others who fly in and want to stay over for the weekend or longer might want to stay at a place that is in the city. This way, they have a central location from which to explore the whole region.

For instance, other attractions in the vicinity that park visitors might enjoy include a water park called White Water, and another one called Ride the Ducks. Then there's also the possibility of a cruise and show on the Showboat Branson Belle. This is a signature tourist experience that most people who come here will enjoy and remember. It's best to look at a map to find these attractions, and then choose a hotel that is conveniently close to all of them.

If it sounds complicated, just look at the park as being on MO-76, sandwiched by Branson on one side and Branson West on the other. So there are two main groups of inns, motels and hotels located on the way to the park from either side. Any hotel in either bunch will be within easy driving or even walking distance of the park.

Location apart, it's also important for budget vacationers to find something affordable. Chain properties are typically safe choices where people can get decent accommodations without breaking the bank. They're also likely to offer standard amenities like free parking, a heated pool or hot tub, room service, laundry, etc.

Most lodging providers also offer Wi-Fi or high speed Internet, an in-room microwave, refrigerator, cable and other such commonly needed amenities. It's also common for hotels in Branson to offer guests a complimentary hot breakfast and free coffee or tea. Many provide shuttles for people on their way to the park.

One more option is to book a package deal. This might again lead to some savings, but requires a lot of advance planning and fixed travel dates. The package will include attraction tickets to the theme park, and a discounted stay in any hotel in the area that the visitor prefers. Whatever the choice of hotels in Silver Dollar City, it's a given that this holiday is going to be highly memorable and a lot of fun.
