The Best Of Dining And Entertainment
There’s something to be said about combining dining and entertainment. For some of us it’s the convenience of not having to leave our favorite fun parks to get food. There are also folks who simply enjoy being entertained while dining alongside other vacationers. Enjoy some delicious food while exploring the beauty of the Ozarks on a train excursion, or while cruising the lake on a luxurious yacht. Tour a distillery & sample local spirits before feasting on smoked BBQ. If you’re in the mood for some excitement while you eat we have that as well! Whether it’s friendly competitions featuring horses and trick riders or a lake adventure with live music, singing and dancing, you can experience it all in Branson. We’ve put together a short list of attractions and shows that combine food and entertainment in one place. Enjoy!
