Admission Fees to Attractions in Branson....

sanddunerider · February 13, 2014, 12:00:00 PM

Anything you think is extremely high for what your get?

How about cheap for what you get,,,

Know of any specials that might help one of us save some money,??

I called Titanic today, there everyday adult admission price is now 27.00!! wow!, of course we as SP holders get a discount , but really?

ALSO at the titanic this month, maybe in march.. IF you are a teacher you can get in with famil or students for 8.50 each,,, they need to see your school badge or pay stub... You might call them for "full" details..

Titanic was nice once, and really the traveling exhibits don't intrigue me much, but I did feel that it was high.

I felt the ziplines (including the powered one) were too much for what they are.
Parking at the Landing is too much as well.

Last time we were at Pirates Golf golf, we were told to bring our receipt back anytime during our stay for a half price game. That was worth it! Also, I think Ride the Ducks is worth the ticket.

You can park for free at the Landing. Belk end or Bass Pro end has big free parking lots. We've never paid to park at the Landing.

Titanic has a family pass that makes admission more affordable for family. We did it last year and I called to ask the price because I had a son that was 18, turning 19 in a week. The family pass is 2 adults + all kids 18 and under, so we were able to use the family pass for all 3 kids. I can't remember the price, but I'm thinking it was in the $50-60 range. We really enjoyed it.

Ripley's or the Wax Museum seem to be not worth the price of admission. They do good business at that price, it's just too expensive for us compared to the entertainment we get.

We like the fish hatchery and the Dewey Short Visitor Center, both of which are free. There's a nice walking trail off the Visitor Center, too.

We've been going to Branson for 13 years. We rarely do "attractions" any more. The Tracks are priced so high that we won't pay for it; last year my mom paid for some of the family to ride. Haven't mini golfed in many years. If we do, it's usually the indoor course at Grand Country because it's raining. Haven't zip lined, until Titanic we hadn't done any of the walk through attractions in a long time. We'd rather get outside and enjoy the area now.

Ride the ducks is great with the half price admission for SDC pass holders. I felt Dixie Stampede was way overpriced.

The food is really good at Dixie Stampede though... the show is fun too

The mini golf by Cakes and Creams is just $5 a person and more often than not you get a coupon for a free round when you leave.

Well I dont think Dixie Stampede is real high. You must consider you are getting a show "and" a quality meal. Challenge yourself. Go to see any show in Branson (at a theatre) and go to a "nice" place to eat (sit down, waitress service) and add the tabs to both places. You will spend just about the same as you do at Dixie.

I do think the "Track" is overpriced and with all these cyclone style tracks, the carts arent even real fast anymore

DeweyBald · February 16, 2014, 07:35:16 PM

Have to agree on the Go Carts. We avoid them at all costs. (And that's pretty hard to do with 3 boys!) It will cost an arm and a leg only to run a few laps on slow carts. Now the "Outlaw" carts are supposed to be faster....but I'm sure the price tag reflects that as well!

That's The problem. I didn't like the food

Well of course -- but you have to remember, not all of us can afford to have a culinary chef work in our house preparing all of our meals, so forgive us for enjoying the meal.

It's called sarcasm.

Just what do you mean by that?
