The Petersen Family Bluegrass Band
For a unique family show that truly gives you a taste of what Branson is really like, visit the Little Opry Theater to experience The Petersen Family Bluegrass Band! This talented local family will wow you with their bluegrass show featuring fiddles, banjos, guitars, mandolins and vocals from a true blue, all American family. The musical group performs at many different community events and area venues such as Silver Dollar City and local cafes. Don’t miss your chance to hear this great Branson band!
Lake Taneycomo
For a fishing experience like no other, get your fishing pole and tackle box and head down to Lake Taneycomo to catch some trout! This lake holds cooler waters than Table Rock Lake, making it perfect for trout fishing AND for supplying power to the surrounding areas by way of hydropower. Lots of folks like to fish just below the Table Rock Dam on the Taneycomo side – perhaps because the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is located just up the bank! The Power Site Dam in Forsyth and Lilley’s Landing, across the lake from the College of the Ozarks campus, are also great spots to try your luck at trout fishing!
Outlaw Run
Outlaw Run is not a roller coaster for the faint of heart. It is a unique Branson attraction that requires an adventurous spirit! This world famous, record breaking wooden roller coaster has drawn thousands of thrill seekers from around the world to the heart of the Midwest – Branson! Outlaw Run, the second fastest wooden coaster in the world, features a double barrel roll and is the world’s steepest wood coaster with a first drop of 162 feet (more than 16 stories) at 81 degrees! Hold onto your stomachs!
These are just a few of the unique Branson attractions that this awesome town has to offer. Do some exploring, and find some more to add to your list!
