Catch a Movie at the Branson IMAX, Sit at the Special Table at McFarlain’s for an Afternoon of Fun

I spent a few days in Branson experiencing as much of the Branson life as possible. I was there as part of the Blogging Branson team to experience an Ozark Mountain Christmas. We saw shows and restaurants, attractions and more. I’ve posted about a few things so far and today we are talking about Branson’s IMAX Entertainment Complex, Montana Mike’s and McFarlain’s Restaurant. We watched a movie at the IMAX and had lunches at both McFarlain’s and Montana Mike’s. I even got to sit at a very special table at McFarlain’s. This was all part of a trip that I paid my way to fly to Missouri and then all meals and hotel accomodations were taken care of by Blogging Branson. Opinions of the experiences are my own.

Lunch at Montana Mikes

Each of the places that I’m talking about today are under the Branson IMAX Entertainment Group. The first place that we went to while on this trip was lunch at Montana Mike’s. This was an inexpensive family restaurant. They had meals set up for us to choose from and I decided upon a burger. I know, adventurous. I just wanted a burger to go with Mike’s Marvelous Onion Rings. They also put out some apple crisp for dessert and it was very tasty, too. I made a Facebook Live video while I was at Montana Mike’s that you can see below.

I don’t like eating on camera but I had to make an exception here because once we were done we were headed to Silver Dollar City. We learned about Montana Mikes and I took a walk through the restaurant. This is a cozy place that will get your family fed quickly and within budget. I enjoyed the burger, and the fries were great, too. The apple crisp was a nice dessert as well. If burgers are not what you are looking for Montana Mike’s also offers steak and seafood. They have many signature dishes that will appeal to a wide variety of palettes. Continue reading Catch a Movie at the Branson IMAX, Sit at the Special Table at McFarlain’s for an Afternoon of Fun

Three Must See Shows on your Christmas Trip to Branson

Fiddle and Violin Players at Hughes Brother's Theatre

At the beginning of the month I took a very special trip to Branson, Missouri. While I was there I saw many shows and I wanted to tell you about three of them that I really enjoyed. These are three must see shows. They are The Hughes Brothers Christmas Show, Branson’s Famous Baldknobbers and the Clay Cooper’s Christmas Express,. Each was special in its own way and each had fantastic Christmas music. The spirit of the season was found within each show.

Children at Hughes Brother's Theatre

At the Hughes Brothers theater you can find a wonderful family show, the Hughes Brothers Christmas Show. When I say family I don’t just mean that it is family friendly. The entire show is a family affair. There are five Hughes Brothers Marty, Jason, Adam, Ryan and Andy. Along with the five brothers there are their wives and children who also work on the show. There are over 30 Hughes children who perform in the show. The kids not only perform in the show they run the merchandise and concession stands even at intermission. One minute the kids are singing and dancing on the stage, the next they hop off the stage and behind the counter. These children have such talent surrounding them and so much of their own talent, too.
