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 visitors driving through town will likely opt for lodging that is close to the park, and along the way on US-65. However, travelers flying into Branson for a weekend or a longer stay exploring the Ozarks might choose to stay within the city. This will make it convenient for them to visit all the nearby tourist attractions.

For instance, many people who come for the theme park also end up enjoying Ride the Ducks, White Water and other water park attractions that are nearby. Another similarly enjoyable tourist experience is the show and cruise onboard the Showboat Branson Belle. It's not hard to map these attractions and then find a hotel nearby.

For those who can't figure this out, just remember that the theme park is in between Branson and Branson West on Missouri State Route 76. So there are two groupings of hotels, motels and inns, one on each side of the park. It's ok to pick a place that is in one of these groups, which are both within easy driving 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.

Expect Wi-Fi or at least high-speed Internet in the room, along with cable, a refrigerator and a microwave. A complimentary breakfast and free beverages such as coffee and tea are quite common too. Many lodging providers also offer shuttles to their guests who need to go to the park.

A package deal may also be possible. It would include significant savings, subject to the visitor being able to plan for it ahead of time. A package might include theme park tickets and a stay in a hotel of the visitor's choice. Some packages also offer tickets for other attractions in the area. In any case, the overall cost will be lower than booking all of it individually. The one thing that can be said for sure is that stays at hotels in Silver Dollar City are highly memorable and a whole lot of fun.
