Alternative options To See And Do In The Tacky Tourist Spot In Missouri
April 23, 2010
Branson, Missouri is known to be a big, somewhat tacky tourist destination with more country music theatres than you could count along with every kind of theme park to go along with it. It is kind of like a country version of Las Vegas with a hint of Nashville added. For those people that are headed to Branson but do not want to be in the middle of the country music variety shows and the theme parks, there are a lot of other alternatives now available in the Branson area to enjoy thanks to the development of Branson vacant land and the building of some of these nicer areas. This article will mention a few of the things that are not considered tourist attractions but are quite lovely experiences for adults that want a quieter, less chaotic vacation according to a group of Branson realtors.
Branson is actually a great place to go if you are a golf lover and want to play on several different championship level courses. The city now has 12 golf courses to play on, all of them unique from each other and of various levels making it a great place for all levels of golfers. Around the various golf courses are grogeous hotels with great golf packages as well as amenities such as spa treatments for those golfers that may need a relaxing and therapeutic massage following a day on the links.
Another fun outing offered in Branson for adults to participate in are the couple of wineries in the area. The 2 wineries are Mount Pleasant Winery and Stone Hill Winery. Mount Pleasant winery is in Augusta, Missouri and started in 1859 by a pair of brothers from Germany. This winery has received several top awards for their wines where they grow twelve different grapes to produce the wine. In 2008, they opened an additional branch in Branson for additional people to experience. Stone Hill Winery is a family owned vineyard that is as historic as the other one but quite a deal bigger in size. They are known for having a great full bodied red wine from the Norton grape variety as well as other choices. Both places offer tours and give you an opportunity to sample wine which is a pleasant way to spend the day.
Branson landing is a lakefront project that opened during the summer of 2006. It is located on Lake Taneycomo which is located right in downtown Branson. It has several outdoor shopping stores as well as a lot of different great restaurants all looking out on the lake. This is a great place to spend the day browsing in the many retail spots as well as having a nice meal in a beautiful setting.
For outdoor enthusiasts, renting a boat and going fishing or simply to navigate around Lake Taneycomo is a pleasant way to spend the day. It is a manmade reservoir that has the feeling of both a lake and a river making it a perfect spot to fly fish and explore.
