Transportation
Either youll drive to Branson or fly into Lambert-St. Louis International Airport where youll want to rent a car. Branson has no public transportation. The entertainment-packed area is almost as well known for traffic jams as it is famed for country music. If you tire of fighting the traffic yourself, several local shuttle services will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the attraction of your choice. Shuttle fares range from $5 to $10. If you are in the center of town you can walk to a good bit of Branson, but as spread out as the attractions are youll really need to drive or use shuttles during your stay.
In-Season Costs
Expect to pay between $20 and $30 for adult admission to one of the shows. Kids' tickets cost in the $8 to $12 range. Admission to Silver Dollar City --- Bransons premier theme park --- is $36.05 for adults, $24.35 for children. Most tourists plan to spend the bulk of their budget on entertainment with little left over for lodging. Youll find basic budget rooms in the $50 to $60 range throughout Branson. If you want something a bit nicer, expect to pay between $80 and $90. Over-the-the-top luxury and quirky themed rooms are also on offer for higher prices. Many of Bransons restaurants are all-you-can-eat buffets that cater to hungry tourists at reasonable rates. You can easily find dinner for fewer than $15.
