The Best Places to Stay When Visiting Branson
Choosing between Westgate's Branson resorts offers two distinct, high-quality environments. Westgate Branson Woods Resort is your best choice for a serene, "cabin-in-the-woods" experience, uniquely nestled on 145 wooded acres with its own private hiking trails, an Ozark Fun House, and a location that feels secluded yet is minutes from the main Branson Strip. This resort emphasizes tranquility and a cozy, full-service retreat ambiance.
On the other hand, Westgate Branson Lakes Resort is special for its prime waterfront position directly on Table Rock Lake. Its unique appeal is the breathtaking lake views available from many of its renovated villas, offering unparalleled access to fishing, boating, and water sports.
While both provide spacious villa accommodations with kitchens, the choice between them comes down to your preferred atmosphere: the deep woods solitude of Branson Woods or the gorgeous lakeside adventure of Branson Lakes. The choice is up to you!
Helpful Tips to Exploring Branson Landing
-
Plan Around the Fountain Show: The $7.5 million spectacular water, fire, light, and music show is the centerpiece. Shows run daily, typically starting at noon and running every hour on the hour. Check the current daily schedule online or at a Visitor Information Center, and plan to arrive early for a good viewing spot near the Town Square. Evening shows are particularly dazzling.
-
Best Parking for the Show: The covered parking garage or the Bass Pro Shops lot offers the closest access to the main fountain area, making them ideal if your primary goal is the spectacular water show.
-
Utilize the Free Surface Lots: Branson Landing has large, free parking lots at both ends of the promenade, near the Belk store (north end) and the Bass Pro Shops (south end). These are generally the easiest options, though they can fill up quickly on busy evenings and weekends.
-
Beat the Heat and Crowds: As an outdoor venue, summer days can be very hot. For a more comfortable experience, plan your visit for the early morning or later in the evening. If shopping is your main goal, weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends.
-
Use the Free Trolley: The Landing is conveniently located next to Historic Downtown Branson. Look for Sparky, the free downtown trolley, which can transport you between Branson Landing, the Convention Center, and other downtown stops, saving you the hassle of moving your car.
-
Explore the Boardwalk: Don't just stick to the shops; take a scenic stroll along the 1.5-mile waterfront boardwalk on Lake Taneycomo. It offers beautiful views, especially at sunset, and is a great spot to relax or jog.
-
Dine with a View: Several restaurants, such as LandShark Bar & Grill, Joe's Crab Shack, and White River Fish House, offer outdoor patio seating overlooking Lake Taneycomo and the fountain. Make dinner reservations for peak times, especially if you want a guaranteed view of an evening show.
-
Visit the Anchor Stores: Start or end your trip at the two major anchor department stores: Bass Pro Shops on the south end (which features impressive indoor aquariums) and Belk on the north end.
-
Look for Unique Attractions: Beyond the shopping, check out the adrenaline-pumping fun like Parakeet Pete's Steampunk Balloon (a high-flying observation ride) and the Waterfront Zipline, both of which offer unique views over the lake and the Landing.
-
Check the Event Calendar: Branson Landing hosts year-round seasonal events, including concerts, holiday festivals, and a Farmer's Market on select days. Look up the official calendar for your travel dates to find special activities.
-
Explore the Lake from the Promenade: Head to the Lake Taneycomo side to find waterfront activities. Look for the Branson Jet Boats for a thrilling, high-speed ride, or the docks for options like boat rentals or fishing spots (Lake Taneycomo is a renowned trout fishery).
-
Visit Andy B's Bowl Social: This is more than just a bowling alley; it's a large entertainment center located on the Landing that features bowling, arcade games, virtual reality experiences, escape rooms, and a full-service restaurant/bar. It’s a great option for a rainy day or evening family fun.
