Silver Dollar City Hotels For A Theme Park Holiday

By Elaine Guthrie


Silver Dollar City is a theme park in the Ozarks, close to Branson, Missouri. The retro park fits in perfectly into the small town charm and family friendly atmosphere in the area. When the park is open March-Dec, all the Silver Dollar City hotels are usually sold out ahead of time.

It's best to plan for the stay, but the choice of a hotel requires careful consideration of many factors. Price is obviously a key issue, as are the location, amenities and the size of the group or family that needs to stay in a room or suite. Considering that most people who come here are tourists or travelers, it might also be a good idea to factor in plans for the stay.

So roadtrippers driving through Branson on US-65 may prefer lodging that is close to the park and along the way. On the other hand, those who are flying in for a weekend stay or an extended holiday in the Ozarks may prefer something that is actually located in the City of Branson. This has the added advantage of being close to all the other tourist attractions nearby.

For instance, other attractions in the vicinity that park visitors might enjoy include a water park called White Water, and another one called Ride the Ducks. Then there's also the possibility of a cruise and show on the Showboat Branson Belle. This is a signature tourist experience that most people who come here will enjoy and remember. It's best to look at a map to find these attractions, and then choose a hotel that is conveniently close to all of them.

If it sounds complicated, just look at the park as being on MO-76, sandwiched by Branson on one side and Branson West on the other. So there are two main groups of inns, motels and hotels located on the way to the park from either side. Any hotel in either bunch will be within easy driving or even walking distance of the park.

Location apart, it's also important for budget vacationers to find something affordable. Chain properties are typically safe choices where people can get decent accommodations without breaking the bank. They're also likely to offer standard amenities like free parking, a heated pool or hot tub, room service, laundry, etc.

Most lodging providers also offer Wi-Fi or high speed Internet, an in-room microwave, refrigerator, cable and other such commonly needed amenities. It's also common for hotels in Branson to offer guests a complimentary hot breakfast and free coffee or tea. Many provide shuttles for people on their way to the park.

A package deal may also be possible. It would include significant savings, subject to the visitor being able to plan for it ahead of time. A package might include theme park tickets and a stay in a hotel of the visitor's choice. Some packages also offer tickets for other attractions in the area. In any case, the overall cost will be lower than booking all of it individually. The one thing that can be said for sure is that stays at hotels in Silver Dollar City are highly memorable and a whole lot of fun.
