Spring Ride Days at Silver Dollar City
The best place to spend your Spring Break? Silver Dollar City, of course. During their Spring Ride Days, scheduled for select days March 17-April 5, your family can be some of the first guests to experience Silver Dollar City thrills in 2020. The park features over 40 thrilling rides and attractions, such as the daring Outlaw Run and multi-looping Wildfire, ideal for the adrenaline-seekers in your group. Have younger kids with you? The family-friendly, kid-size rides at Grand Exposition and Fireman’s Landing are
perfect for your pint-sized loved ones.
Stomp, Cheer and Clap at Dolly’s Stampede
I’ve never seen a kid at Dolly’s Stampede bored. And that’s saying something, considering how fickle kids’ attention spans can be these days. From the interactive competitions, which let you yell, whoop, and stomp your feet as you cheer on your team, to the fact you get to eat with your hands, Stampede is a kid’s dream. Parents, not to worry, you’ll be entertained too. Each year, Dolly Parton makes the show bigger and better. 2020 is no exception. Add Stampede tickets to your Branson Spring Break vacation and see what the new show is all about.
Make a Splash at a Water Park Resort
It still may be too chilly outside to take advantage of the Branson lakes or even your hotel’s outdoor pool. Save the day by reserving a stay at a Branson Water Park Resort. Several properties, including Castle Rock Resort, Welk Resort, and Grand Country Inn, offer indoor water parks perfect for aquatic fun. Your kids will love the slides, drop buckets, splash zones and giant pools. You’ll love seeing them laugh, splash and play! Don’t worry. There are hot tubs for parents to enjoy, too.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Another Branson Spring Break idea for families involves a walk on the wild side. Animals are a sure-fire way to please kids. They just love them! Luckily, Branson attractions are offering more and more ways to experience animals up close.
To view gorgeous tigers in all their glory, visit the National Tiger Sanctuary. Searching for smaller, even baby-sized critters? The Promised Land Zoo is for you. Looking for something in flight? The Butterfly Palace is ideal for gazing at tropical butterflies. Bonus – The butterflies will even land on you, creating a truly unique souvenir photograph.
Go for a Zip
Get a birds-eye-view of the Ozarks with Branson ziplines. Two companies in Branson offer zipline tours, each distinctly different. At Branson Zipline, the course is through the canopy of the Ozark Mountains creating a more outdoorsy course complete with a ride in a Pinzgaur. Adventure Ziplines, however, is located in the heart of Branson and their tour combines the woods with city views so you can have the best of both worlds.
Another way to take to the sky is the Vigilante ZipRider. At this attraction, you don’t zip through a course. Instead, you zoom down one 1/2 mile zipline at speeds reaching 50 mph all while in a harnessed seat. Sit back, enjoy the sights and zip on through to the other side.
