Find Vacation Fun at Silver Dollar City
If you’re looking for a cool vacation idea, then look no further than Silver Dollar City. Located just outside of Branson Missouri, this vacation destination has something for everyone in your family, from the history buff to the thrill seeker. Here’s a quick look at some of the attractions and things that Silver Dollar City has to offer.
Marvel Cave
This Silver Dollar City attraction is called Marvel Cave for a very good reason. Descending almost 500 feet into the ground, it boasts the largest cave entrance room in the United States. You walk down, taking in the sights and the marvels of the cave and exit using a cable train.
Craftsmen
Silver Dollar City started off as a destination to see craftsmen and artisans creating and making their wares. While the theme park is much more than that today, you can still see over 100 craftsmen demonstrating their talent as they create right in front of your eyes. Wood working, glass works, candy and jewelry are just a few of the things you will see being created.
Rides
If you are more into thrill seeking, Silver Dollar City has some amazing rides that will get your heart rate elevated. You can take in the American Plunge, which will see you taking a leisurely boat ride through Ozarks – until you take a 50 drop as part of the ride. Or you can hit Electro Spin, where you’ll spin around at high speed while rising 50 feet in the air on what can only be described as a large sombrero. There are also some family themed rides, such as Flooded Mine and Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train.
Silver Dollar City has something for everyone. And with all the amazing sites and attractions, you’ll have a blast visiting it.
