SILVER DOLLAR
CITY
Silver Dollar City Amusement Park is located in Branson,
Missouri, and is home to some of the most amazing attrac-
tions in the Midwest that a park can offer. The park was
evolved around the Marvel Cave, a natural wonder of the
area. For over 50 years, the Marvel Cave entrance oper-
ated strictly for the cave features and tours/sightseeing
alone. Today, the park features 8 different world-class fes-
tivals, American craftsmen demonstrations, and plenty of
rides and other attractions, with the Marvel Cave now only
being one of those. When attending with children, choose
one of the 10 family adventures inside Firemen’s Landing,
or try your luck on the “world’s most daring wood coaster,”
the Outlaw Run.
New for 2017, experience the Year of Food and Crafts,
which is a year-long celebration featuring over 200 new
food items that have been added to the menus, along with
a variety of different crafts to view and try, such as hand
soap making and glassblowing/molding. Join in the Silver
Dollar City Food Days from May 30 th – June 9 th , and July
31 st – August 20 th . During these times, the chefs at Silver
Dollar City will be putting innovative spins on all your fa-
vorite carnival and amusement park classics, like funnel
cakes and kettle corn!
