Sometimes called the “Nashville of the Ozarks”, there are all kinds of country music stars, legends and up-and-comers, all ready to get your toes-a-tappin’. Throw in some good old rock and roll to dance your day away. There are magic shows, and some of the brightest and funniest comedy shows to get you to laugh until your ribs ache. For the kids or those who are kids at heart, there’s the Silver Dollar City amusement park. Or for those into nostalgia and history, you can go through historic Branson and nearby historic Hollister. A little further north (about a ˝-hour), you can see the goings on in Springfield, including the chance to see what it’s like to eat some “throwed rolls”.

There’s so much to do, and so much to enjoy. And it all starts at Mountain Garden Getaway!
