Summer 2011 Family Events in Branson Mo.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you are looking for a place to go with your family this summer, Branson Missouri has something for everyone. I remember when Branson was the place to go for country music shows; now it’s become the place to go for family entertainment. I learned about a huge variety of events taking place there this summer, like Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top in Concert, the second annual Chevy Mustang Rally, and a Family Fishing Fair.

For a place to stay, the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing offers waterfront shopping, dining,  and an entertainment district featuring over 100 specialty stores. You can stay in a room, suite, or condo, so there’s a place for every size family. They even accept pets up to 75 pounds and supply dog beds, bowls and water, treats, lanyards identifying rooms with pets, a staff trained to handle animals and more. 

 

Another great reason to plan a trip to Branson this summer is their “The Legend of Kung Fu Package”. The Legend of Kung Fu show traditional martial arts, aerial ballet, dance, and music.  The package includes 4 tickets and exclusive Hilton Family Preshow Access 30 minutes prior to Legend of Kung Fu Show, $25 to the Legend of Kung Fu gift shop, and a 1-night stay at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel for 2 Adults and 2 Children.

If you are looking for a little more adventure the Branson’s Best Value Package is ideal. This 3-night package for a family of 2 adults and 2 children includes 2-day passes to Silver Dollar City and 4 tickets to the Legends of Kung Fu show for as low as $600.00!

It really sounds like a lot of fun! Plan your trip now to Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and have a blast at any of Branson’s special family events this summer. And remember, you can even take your dog!

I had a wonderful time at Gleek Retreat ’11 last weekend! I’m hoping to get some time to recap it for you either tonight or tomorrow. I learned so much from the speakers and took a ton of notes. After the conference, Deb and I drove over to Holland State Park on Lake Michigan, those photos are on this week’s Wordless Wednesday post. I’ll get the rest of the photos up soon!

Have a great weekend everybody! Don’t forget to add your Friday link to the linky list! edited to add: I have no idea why the Google Friend Connect gadget is currently blank. I’m going through my plugins to see if one of them is causing it. In the meantime, please make sure your blog URL is linked in the comment field and I’ll come visit and follow you. Sorry about that!
