Wait until April to go. The weather in Missouri starts warming up then. Most of the stores in downtown Branson are closed for the next couple of months anyway.. A lot of shows to see. The Baldknobbers is one of the original shows in Branson. The Titanic attraction is cool. I love Silver Dollar City. There's a lot to see and do there. Definately go to Lambert's. Great food, good prices and if you leave hungry it's your own fault. Plenty of pass arounds and if you want more of your entree all you have to do is ask. Dick's five and dime is a really cool store. I also like the Arkansas Diamond Mine. Both are located downtown. Hope this helps. Also ride the ducks.
