When I visited Branson, MO back in early November I had the opportunity to stay at the Stone Castle Hotel & Conference Center. The stay here was covered by the hotel and opinions of the hotel are my own. You may now know this about me but I am a HUGE fan of the legend of King Arthur. I have read every book series I can find about King Arthur from historical fiction to an alternate retelling of the legend, to television and movies. Anything with Arthurian Legend is something I want to absorb and enjoy. At the Stone Castle there is a theme of a real castle and King Arthur all throughout and there is much more to come.
In fact, this December through February when the hotel is closed it will get all new siding, in a new color to make it look even more like a castle, new windows, carpet, doors and a whole new look. The next time I go back I won’t even recognize the place. I will be going back and the Stone Castle Hotel is the only place I would consider staying because of the wonderful experience I had.

During my trip to Branson, Missouri I made a couple of stops at places of historic significance. They were the Branson Ferris Wheel and the Titanic Museum. I was in Branson for a special press tour. I paid my travel to get there and once there the hotel, shows and meals were taken care of. Opinions of all events and shows are my own.
One of the places that we visited was the Branson Ferris Wheel. This very tall Ferris Wheel did not originate in Branson, in fact I had seen this same Ferris Wheel before in Chicago. It was on Navy Pier from 1995 – 2015. Then it was dismantled and moved to Branson where it opened for rides in 2016. The Branson Ferris Wheel is part of the Track Family Fun Parks. This includes several Go Kart tracks, which we did not ride and I so wanted to do that. Maybe on my next trip. There are so many things to do at the Track Family Fun Parks.
The Branson Ferris Wheel stands at 150 feet tall, it can hold 240 riders in its 40 gondolas at the same time and has 16,000 LED lights that light up the night sky on the Branson entertainment corridor. You can see all of the entertainment corridor from the top of the Branson Ferris Wheel and at night you can see its lights dancing on the skyline. One night we had just left one of the shows and I and looked over at the Branson Ferris Wheel. It was beautiful. I loved the dancing lights and designs that were made on the Branson Ferris Wheel.
