Once
a sleepy little Ozark town, Branson is now hailed as
America's Live Entertainment Capital, attracting  over five million visitors
annually. Some of the biggest names in show business call
Branson home, showcasing their music and talents at
dozens of major theaters throughout the city. There's
also great shopping, dining, museums, crafts, amusement
rides and antiques wherever you go. Drive just a mile or
two outside of Branson, and you're in the lovely
forest-filled heart of the Ozarks. Several big and
beautiful lakes provide a relaxing counterpoint to the
knee-slapping excitement of this unique vacation getaway.
