Palace View Spinnaker Resort

Hotel | "Palace View by Spinnaker"

Quote:

Best Things Nearby:Very close proximity to all the shows and activities on the strip.Best Things About the Resort:Very spacious accommodations. Elevator access to all floors of the buildings.Resort Experience:We stayed in the newest building on site. We had a ground level room which was very nice and roomy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The amenities on site were ok, including outdoor pool, game room, etc. The indoor pool was under construction. There was a shortage of parking spaces, but that wasn't too inconvenient. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone traveling to Branson. Too bad you can only trade in once every four years. ...Read More

Marvel Cave

Attraction | "Silver Dollar City"

Quote:

We found this park to be a really fun place to visit with plenty of things to see and do for everyone. The rides are kind of far apart, but there are plenty of shops and sights in between. We especially liked the fact that most of the walkways are tree-lined and shaded. The day we were there was pretty hot and the shade made it nice. There are a lot of displays that portray what living in this region was like in days gone by and today. I would recommend that everyone coming to Branson pay a visit to this park.

Kirby Van Birch - Magic and Comedy

Attraction | "The Magic of Kirby Van Birch"

Quote:

This is a must see for anyone coming to Branson. This was my family's first time seeing a magician of Kirby's magnitude in person. We were astounded and amazed at the illusions and tricks he performed. You'll leave this show asking yourself, "How did he do that?!"

Elvis and the Superstars

Attraction

Quote:

I would not recommend this show to anyone. It was in an old theatre, and the acts were plain and not very polished. We received free tickets to this show, but otherwise I would have demanded my money back. Definitely not worth what they were charging for admission. If you want to see Elvis and others, go see Legends in Concert on the strip.

Jim Stafford Theater

Attraction | "Jim Stafford"

Quote:

Great show. Good clean humor. Great special effects. I especially liked the flying saucer that soared out over the audience. There was a good mixture of humor and music in this show. Something for everyone.

Stuck in the 70's

Attraction

Quote:

This is a very high energy show that will keep your interest from beginning to end. Seeing the performers and hearing the music from the '70s brought back tons of memories. The nerds in the Love Boat skit were about the funniest thing I've seen. I would recommend this show to anyone who wants to relive a bit of their past.
