Vacation in Branson

Overview

Quote:

My husband and I just got back from a great week in Branson. We saw eight shows in 5 days, and did lots of shopping. The first show we saw was Kirby VanBurch, he was awesome. If you are into magic, or even if you're not, his show is a must-see. The next night we saw the Circle B Chuckwagon Show, I was not too impressed with this. They need more servers and need to add a little to their show. The comedy portion of it was the highlight. We also saw Darren Romeo that night. He is also a must-see. I was a little weary about seeing a "singing magician," but he was well worth it; if you go see it, you will know what I mean.The next evening we saw the Tall Timbers Lumberjack Show. If you are an outdoorsy per...Read More

Well worth the money to go see this guy, not only is he a great magician, he can sing great and he's not bad to look at. He puts on a very good show.

Attraction

Quote:

Kirby has a new place out on Highway 248 now. He really put on a good show and involves the audience. He uses animals which was awesome to see. It was amazing how he did some of the things he did. How do they do it?!?!

Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede & Dinner Show

Quote:

We had seen the Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge a few years ago, we enjoyed it there, so it was on the top of our list to do in Branson. A little disappointed that it was the same exact show that we saw several years ago in Tennessee, but the food was as great as ever.

Circle B Chuckwagon Show

Attraction

Quote:

The show was good, the food was just okay, the comedy was GREAT… not enough of it though. They needed more servers, took a long time to serve supper and there was a small crowd when we were there, maybe that's why they didn't have very many people serving, I don't know. If you like old Western/cowboy songs, you will like the show.

Tall Timber Lumberjack Show

Attraction

Quote:

This was great! We enjoyed the show very much, an old time lumberjack competition. The steak was the best steak I'd ever had in my life. They could have used a few more servers, only had two the day we were there to wait on about 40 people. If you love the outdoors, this is a must do.

Taylor Reed Magic Show

Attraction | "Taylor Reed - Magician"

Quote:

Another magician—not worth the money to go see. All of his stunts we had pretty much seen in the other shows. We had free tickets from our hotel, otherwise we wouldn't have gone or greatly regretted paying full price for the tickets. And if you go during lunch, eat before you go, their "lunch package" includes a hot dog and a popcorn.

Quote:

This was a very good experience. The show was good and the food was good. The seating isn't all that great if you are on the main floor. Some aisles of seats are stuck in between your table and the table behind you. But that was the only downside I saw about the whole thing.

Bart Rockett Dinner Theatre

Attraction | "Bart Rockett - Magician"

Quote:

This show was better than Taylor Reed, but nowhere near as good as D. Romeo or K. VanBurch. He did do a few different tricks but all in all still the same stuff. Try to find discount tickets if at all possible.
