Branson-Localnews

Branson isn't a town full of many secrets! If your coming here for fun, your at the right place. The people are nice, friendly, courteous, and would love to have you. But the coupon I'll share with you today is a secret. It is called the Travelbuddy. And it works. Properties that I have managed in the past, have used this coupon to create a nice stream of income, and have used it to attract customers back in the future. (Retention) But it is not that widely known. Where you say, could you get a coupon like this, and how would it change your travel. Read on to find out. The Travel Buddy has been around for over 10 years, that I know of, and was started by a hotelier named Jim Bates. The reason its so popular among hotel managers and owners is because it comes in under the wire, and Hoteliers aren't called to the carpet by Expedia, Travelocity, and other third party vendors. And it does what it says, offers a steep discount. My wife and I just used it in December to st...

if you can't tell by now, I love living in Branson. There is so much to do here. And so many ways to relax and let your hair down. On this list I've included some obvious winners, of water park stardom, and a couple you may not know of. 1) white water this is an obvious choice. Located on Seventy six this is a must see for Water park enthusiasts. A very giant wading pool for the kiddos, and lots of chairs to lay out, and watch all the events. There is something here for each member of the family, and lots of intense rides, to help you take a break. Wear lots of sun screen, because its wide open with very little shade. 2) If your looking for a hotel with a splash park built in we have three. Grand Country , Welk Resort , and Castle Rock. Grand country is on Seventy Six, Castle Rock on green mountain drive and Welk is on one one sixty five across from Pointe royale. If your looking for a hotel with a great inside water park, Grand Country will be your best bet. 3) moonshin...

Secret Branson-things you only wish you knew!             I wish I could describe Branson , as this veritable underground.  A jungle of robust options, for any man, woman, or child to cherish.  But one of the great benefits of Branson, is our family values.  Always lots to see and do, and do these things safely. My number one thing, that I recommend are the stairs on Fall Creek road.  Its on the east end right behind legends, at a state park there. The stairs were built a long time ago, and supply a super workout in between shows, shopping, and ice cream.  The last time I walked them, I enjoyed the forest, and the scenery, and the wonderful views of College of the Ozarks.  On my last blog "The top five things to do in Branson"  I listed this as one of the things people never knew to do. And it is, I didn't discover it until a few years ago.  Occasionally, the park is closed to do maintenance.  But the walke...

Top 5 Things you never knew to do in Branson for 2022?  There are lots of things to see and do in Branson, this time of year But there are a lot of things you might of never known about.  1. College of the Ozarks -just three miles South on Highway 65, this is a delight for the eyes. Built in the early 1900's in Forsyth, Mo, and was transferred to South of Branson in the 1950's. This is a must stop for anyone wanting to go outside the normal box of Branson. (Cows, Pottery, what's not to like)  2. Table Rock Dam -a short drive down highway 165, passed the local fair of Branson is Table rock lake. Beauty is not even the start of it. Located next to Chateau on the Lake, this is a sight in three dimensions. You can fish, swim, take a boat out, or just enjoy the sights.  3. The Stairs overlooking C of O . At the east end of Fall creek road, there is a wonderful set of stairs, that crawl all the way down the hillside. Overlooking a piece of the lake and C of O, this is no...

What is Changing at the Red Roof Mall for 2015? Ball Parks of America Update! Origionaly posted on 06/21/12 There has been some curiosity here in Branson that the red roof is closing. But it is talked about here in Branson that few stores may be staying open. Some stores have gotten approval to continue doing business at the red roof mall. Red roof mall, which was built in the early 1990's is more than just a concrete jungle. Its a part of Branson heritage. It is a shame to see all the stores relocate to other locations. The word on the street is that Legs Hanes Balley, and Crocks will continue to stay open and run business as usual. This seems to pose several problems for the historic mall. Will customers continue to visit just two stores? What will the city do? Will they start eviction proceedings? stay tuned for updates? Also for more info go to Melodylanebranson.com for more. New Update for 2015 As of the last few weeks, BallParks of America has purchased or lease...
