Branson, Missouri has always been one of my favorite places to visit, I try to get there every year that I can, in fact I have been there every year since I was just a few years old, always going with my family.
First of all – Branson is in the Ozarks which is some of the most beautiful area in Missouri in my opinion!
The best time to go I would have to say is in the fall, especially since fall is my favorite season and everything in Branson has a fall theme, I love it! I have been to Branson in all the seasons and I choose fall not only because it is my favorite season, but because in summer it is pretty hot and I am not a fan of hot weather and in the winter, many of the fun things to do there are closed down until spring comes and it warms back up….
