2 Best Sights in Branson, Missouri

Attending a live musical performance is the highlight of many a visitor’s trip to Branson, and while there are dozens to choose from, a few stand apart as being among the city’s most innovative. One of these is Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede, a lively dinner show that features live horseback stunts, pyrotechnic feats, and a four-course meal of Southern finger food (vegetarian options are also available). If you get here early, you can catch free preshow performances in the lobby.

Showcasing some of the world's greatest classic toys, as well as a few modern ones, this museum is fun not only for children, but also for adults wanting to get nostalgic about their childhood.
