Silver Dollar City Review Summary

Silver Dollar City, nestled nicely in Branson Missouri, is a theme park that seeks to offer a step back in time to the 1880's, combining old world feel with some current attractions. Our reviewers liked the feel of the park, which immersed them in the time period of the 1880's, and provided a lot of great food choices for everyone. One reviewer remarked that he loved their deep-fried pickles, and enjoyed frozen lemonade on a hot day at the park. The park provides many different crafts, thrill rides, and family attractions, which also consist of several roller coasters and a white water park that really sets the tone for the rides at Silver Dollar City. Most reviewers had a wonderful experience, but several did note that there were a lot of hills, that some of the costs were above average, and that you need to bring water if it’s in the hot summer months. Branson also has several Hotels and Resorts where you can stay if you are visiting the park.

We just returned to our hotel from a day immersed in the 1880s. Silver Dollar City is one of the oldest theme parks in America and doesn't really try to compete with the Six Flags or similar brands. We ate lunch in a mine on tin plates and the food was wonderful, much like the miners of 1880… read full review »

My family and I just got back from two days at the park.  I will never return the rids were creapy and the workers were rude.  The food was ridiculously priced and we really didnt have fun for the price we paid.  You get out of breath anywhere you walk everything is up or down hill… read full review »

We live about 2 hours from Branson, so most every year we go to Silver Dollar City numerous times.  We are season pass holders yearly and if you buy season passes and go often, it is a very cheap vacation(s).  The kids all love it and we have made some wonderful family memories over the years.  I do wish that they would open up some more rides for the very young crowd (like 5 and under).  Another thing that I wish they would change is the way they run the rides--like they will have one person running two little kid rides at once.  He will just hop back and forth… read full review »

This was a was a wonderful experience strolling through Silver Dollar City when it was all decked out in Christmas Lights.  There is a wide range of wonderful Christmas music and Shows to choose from.  There is also many food vendors as well as several resturants in the park.  The shopping is a great opportunity to finish your Christmas Shopping for special handmade crafted items.  Though some of the rides are closed at this time of the year there are still alot of them operational.  It is a wonderful holiday experience for the whole family.  We spent… read full review »

In my experience, the downside was too many hills. Overall, I had a great experience. Our family went during World Fest, and the entertainment was very interesting and lots of fun. For a theme park, the prices were okay, and the souvenirs were not way overpriced, which made it part of our great experience. There is a good variety of rides to satisfy individual likes. The staff was very helpful. The variety of entertainment is good. The walking distance between attractions is not bad. I loved it.… read full review »
