Wear breathable, quick-dry clothing since you may get splashed (or soaked!) on Mystic River Falls, American Plunge, and Tom & Huck's River Blast. If you need to change a diaper, breastfeed, or spend some quiet time with your baby, there are four nursing stations inside Silver Dollar City! WHAT TO WEAR TO SILVER DOLLAR CITY Silver Dollar City is a stand-out in the number of clean, comfortable spaces they offer in this category. Silver Dollar City is one of the most baby-friendly theme parks in the USA! Since I nursed babies for a total of 8+ years, I am always on the lookout for companies that offer amenities and quiet spaces where parents can care for their little ones. While we are on the topic, it is worth noting that there is a good mix of rides for family, kids, and older teens/adults so that every member of your party can enjoy the day. Since our party had a wide range of ages (5 to 44) and varying levels of tolerance for spinning, high-flying rides, we were grateful that there were a number of rides and experiences that could be enjoyed by all. If your group isn't prone to motion sickness, you will find a whole host of other options for your child as well - Fire Spotter, Fireman's Flyers, Happy Frogs, Lucky's Dizzy Dogs, and Royal Tea Party, among others. Our 5-year-old had a ball on Hugo & Mary's Carousel, Ladybugs, American Plunge (a log ride), Elephant March, Fire-In-The-Hole (an inferior Pirates of the Caribbean-ish experience, but in cars), Frisco Silver Dollar Line Steam Train, Tom & Huck's RiverBlast, FireHouse Play Place, Grandfather's Mansion, Half Dollar Holler, Mystic River Falls (an 8-person whitewater rafting ride that is always a favorite for groups, families, and teens), and - his favorite - Grand Exposition Coaster! ROLLER COASTERS & DARING RIDES AT SILVER DOLLAR CITYĭon't worry if you have little ones with you! There are MANY attraction options for young children. In fact, at the end of a full day in the theme park, we ended up just walking to our cars instead of taking the tram - an easy walk (even for our 5-year-old) wherein we could see our vehicle from the exit gate of the theme park. You will park in a sprawling lot and then hop on a complimentary tram that will pick you up and take you to the admission gate.Īlthough there are two paid parking options (Preferred and Premier), we did not find this to be a needed amenity since trams ran continuously and the park was nearby. Parking is close, convenient, free, and plentiful at Silver Dollar City (compare that to Disney parks, which charge $25-$50 per day). ![]() Since our family only had one day in area, we were not able to visit White Water so this guide will focus exclusively on Silver Dollar City. If you are visiting when the weather is hot and are able to spend several days in the area, you can purchase a ticket bundle that includes tickets to the adjacent White Water park. Young children (ages 3 and under) are free. There are ticket discounts for ages 4-11 and ages 65+. Theme park tickets start at $74 per person per day for ages 12-64. The park's designers and architects especially deserve kudos for their careful selection of fonts, posters, and decorative elements that can be admired throughout the park. Costumed employees were friendly and well-trained. Prior to our visit this summer, we had never even heard of Silver Dollar City and we were pleasantly surprised when we walked through the entrance gates to find a clean, beautifully decorated, expansive, and thematically immersive experience. If you were to travel back in time to the 1880's, you might meet Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Robert Loius Stevenson, Mark Twain, Fyoder Dostoevsky, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, or Billy the Kid. The feats accomplished during the 1880s were truly remarkable and changed the world forever - including the inauguration of the Eiffel Tower, the first movie, and the first automobile. In fact, brush off your history books and you'll see that this decade was a part of the Gilded Age (1874–1907) in the United States and the Victorian Era in Britain. Many modern cities emerged during this time as did the construction of the first skyscraper. The park's theme is centered around the 1880's, which was a period of economic growth and prosperity in many parts of the world, especially Europe and the Americas. ![]() ![]() Located in southwestern Missouri in the bustling city of Branson, Silver Dollar City is a 100-acre amusement park with 12 stage venues, 40 rides and attractions, 18 restaurants, 60 shops, and 100 resident craftsmen.
