Senior Trip to branson, missouri
We’re off to the Ozarks!
Join us September 2–6 for a heartwarming, joy-filled adventure to Branson, Missouri — specially designed for adults 55 and up! Experience inspiring shows, fascinating history, delicious food, and wonderful company on this unforgettable trip.
🎭 Sight & Sound Theatre
Our journey begins with the spectacular production of David at the world-renowned Sight & Sound Theatre. This breathtaking show brings the story of the shepherd boy’s rise to king vividly to life through towering sets, special effects, live animals, and a sweeping original score. Watch as David’s courage, faith, and heart unfold in an immersive experience that will inspire and move you. With powerful storytelling and Broadway-level production, David is a performance you’ll be talking about long after the curtain falls.
🎢 Silver Dollar City Theme Park
Next, we’ll spend the day at Silver Dollar City, where the spirit of the Ozarks comes to life through live bluegrass, gospel, and comedy shows, as well as hands-on craftsmanship like glassblowing, quilting, and pottery. Take a relaxing ride on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train, or explore the depths of Marvel Cave, a natural wonder that helped launch the park. Stroll through the Homestead Area, where you’ll find the rustic McHaffie Cabin, the one-room Oak Trail Schoolhouse, and the quiet, wooded Wilderness Church — each offering a glimpse into simpler times. And don’t forget to treat yourself to some of the award-winning food Silver Dollar City is famous for — hearty meals, sweet treats, and Ozark favorites around every corner.
🏛️ Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum
We’ll round out our trip with a visit to the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum at Top of the Rock — a stunning underground museum that brings the region’s history to life. Walk among life-sized wildlife dioramas and explore archaeological discoveries like carbon-dated skeletons and early artifacts. The museum also features powerful galleries on the Civil War and American West, along with one of the most significant collections of Native American artifacts in the country — all beautifully curated to honor the heritage and natural beauty of the Ozarks.
