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.

So visitors have to plan ahead of time for a visit, and look into many different aspects while picking a place to stay. The price is no doubt the primary factor, but other things that must be considered include the location and rooms or a suite that is suitable for the entire family. Those who have vacation plans for the stay may also want to consider how convenient it will be as a base for visiting all the attractions in and around the city.

So roadtrippers driving through Branson on US-65 may prefer lodging that is close to the park and along the way. On the other hand, those who are flying in for a weekend stay or an extended holiday in the Ozarks may prefer something that is actually located in the City of Branson. This has the added advantage of being close to all the other tourist attractions nearby.

For example, theme park visitors might enjoy a visit to nearby water park attractions such as White Water and Ride the Ducks. A cruise and theater aboard the Showboat Branson Belle is another enjoyable tourist experience. It's easy enough to locate these attractions on a map, and then look for a place to stay that is in close proximity to 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.

Apart from the location, families on a budget may also be looking for an affordable place to stay. A chain hotel is likely to be a safe choice, offering decent lodging at a low nightly rate, along with all the amenities that a family with children will need. This means everything from free parking to an outdoor heated pool or hot tub, laundry and room service.

Expect in-room amenities like cable, refrigerator, microwave and high-speed Internet or Wi-Fi. Most establishments also provide a complimentary breakfast and free tea or coffee for guests. Some will also offer shuttles for visitors heading to the theme park.

Another option worth considering is a holiday package. It helps travelers save on the costs, but it does need a certain amount of advance planning a long time before the actual trip. If that's possible, the package will include theme park tickets and a stay at any hotel of their choice in the area. No matter which hotels in Silver Dollar City visitors pick, it's a good bet that the vacation will be a whole lot of fun and highly memorable.
