OUTDOOR ATTRACTIONS FOR FAMILY FUN Satisfy your adventurous spirit by soaring through the fall foliage via one of Branson's many ziplines, the Snowflex Tubing Park or a mountain coaster such as the Runaway Mountain Coaster or the Branson Coaster. Get a bird's-eye view of surrounding autumn color as you turn hundreds of feet in the air at the Branson Buzzsaw swing or Skyscraper thrill ride. For just as much fun, with slightly less adrenaline, capture panoramic views from the Inspiration Tower at the Shepherd of the Hills or high atop the Branson Ferris Wheel. CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

THE BEST OF BRANSON In 2020, guests will be treated to all the music, friendly competitions, comedic capers, and equestrian showmanship they've come to love during the 26th season of Dolly Parton's Stampede. This high-energy, spectacular show combines special effects, a signature style of entertainment and a fabulous feast to create a truly immersive guest experience. "We love to hear from visitors about their favorite parts of the show, and their kids' reaction to the beautiful horses," said Bryan Cossiboom, Dolly Parton's Stampede general manager. "Often they tell us how they plan to bring back even more family next time." Besides 32 amazing horses, Dolly Parton's Stampede presents a stampede of buffalo, a herd of longhorn steer, hilarious racing pigs and, back by popular demand, the "Canine Capers" rescue dog relay featuring Fly-Ball racing, an agility course and high jump in a "head- to-tail" competition. As contests get underway, guests enjoy the Stampede's signature four-course feast, beginning with the renowned original creamy vegetable soup and homemade buttery biscuit, followed by a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory-smoked barbequed pork loin, buttery corn on the cob, herb-basted potato, apple turnover for dessert and as much Coca-Cola® as they like. Vegetarian meals are available upon request. Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Attraction has grown to be "Branson's Most Fun Place to Eat." The company also operates Dolly Parton's Stampede, Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud, and The Comedy Barn Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, as well as Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Each of these spectacular shows feature special effects, musical productions and live animals, all served with a fabulous four- course family feast.
