Experience Branson with the Branson Shows Vacation Package
Instead of scrambling to pack as much entertainment into your Branson vacation as possible, have your major entertainment options mapped out for you with the Branson Shows Vacation Package. Included in the package is a three night stay at a hotel of your choice, plus admission to three of Branson’s most popular and well-received shows: the Shoji Tabuchi Show, Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede, and Noah the Musical.
Witness “the first family of Branson,” the Tabuchis, with the Shoji Tabuchi Show. The talented family – made up of violinist Shoji, his wife Dorothy, and their daughter Christina – will treat you to two full hours of music and dancing from genres ranging from classical, 50′s, 60′s, and more. Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede brings the Civil War period back with entertaining horse-riding and ostrich competitions. All the while, you will be enjoying a delicious four-course meal.

Take some time for yourself to explore Branson during your stay. With unique shops, great dining, and a wide variety of museums and other attractions, Branson can account for any visitor. End each evening in a hotel option of your choice: near the Landing and its great shopping options, in the surrounding area away from the commotion, or right along the 76 Strip with Branson’s entertainment options right on your doorstep.
