Silver Dollar City, Branson

To the individual that is complaining about not receiving guest passes with your resident pass. DUH!!!! It has always been that way. That is why you get a deeper discount and I have been a purchasing resident passes, since before it opened for Xmas at all. I have never had SDC not remind me I do not get the additional passes with the resident passes. Originally, resident passes and free resident days were a way of saying thank you from SDC to those of us that live in the area and are inconvenienced by the additional traffic etc. No, I don't work and never have worked at or for SDC. Silver Dollar has become more commercialized through the years, but the workers remain friendly. The owners aren't afraid to put God and the Bible in the park. It even has a church. I have never found SDC dirty. Hello, to the person who complained about the spider webs. You are in the middle of the woods. Not a concrete jungle. I miss the Black Smith Gun Shop. Use to be the only park you could buy guns and ammo! SDC can be crowded, but I have never waited long for a tram. The only complaint I have is HUMANA signs all over the place. It is not really a step back in time to HUMANA.

The park is a fun experience for the whole family every time we go. If you are elderly and not into the thrill rides, such as the 6-upside-down loops on the rollar -coaster Wildfire, there are plenty of shows and less thrilling rides. (Thundaration is an example.) There are also plenty of shows to watch all day long. And, when you get hungry, there is food stands, or reasturaunts, on every turn. Yes, it's a litlle pricy, but once you leave, and you had a great time, it's money well spent.

SOME PEOPLE ARE TOPICKY... OR......WE HAVE BEEN TAKING OUR FAMILY FOR YEARS. NOW GRANDKIDS. MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER LOVES THE TRAIN SURE SOME RIDES ARE NOT FOR HER BUT SHE ENJOYED GOING AND NOW LOVES TRAINS. WE ARE TREATED GREAT AND IT IS CLEAN. AS FOR THE WATER SOME TALK ABOUT ON SIDE WALKS THAT'S...... WHY IT IS A VERY CLEAN PLACE TO GO....... IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL IN THAT AREA. I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE AT SILVER DOLLAR CITY.............

We love everything about Silver Dollar City. We have been visiting SDC once or twice each year since 1984. If you are looking for a place to take your family that is completely family oriented this is it. You will not have to worry about your kids being exposed to offensive behavior. The park is always spotless-- walkways, restrooms, theatres, you name it. The food is good and average priced for an amusement park. Compared to Disney's tickets and food it is cheap! The staff is always warm and friendly. We buy season passes every year. Our favorite festival is the Christmas Festival I really don't under stand all the negative reviews, particularly the one claiming the park is dirty??

My brother, visiting from Orlando, and I took 4 kids ranging in age from 11 to 17. Someday we'll look back and laugh, I suppose, but that's one expensive chuckle. I'll just sum things up: 1) The pavement sprinklers. I don't even. There were several dozen randomly watering the walkways. Maybe they're a cheap way to wash things down, as everything seems to have a coating of dirt, spiderwebs and neglect. But for us, all they did was get our shoes wet as we wandered around in frustration looking for rides for the kids. Which brings me to... 2) The map. It's the worst. We finally gave up and just looked for a food shack vendor to ask every time we chose a destination. Saved us time. Which brings me to... 3) The staff. For every helpful employee, there was a surly, rude and unpleasant one. It got to be funny really (maybe it was the heat taking its toll), and we joked about how much we enjoyed paying to be treated like annoying cattle. 4) Broken down rides. On five separate occasions, with five separate rides, the kids' choice was broken down. And what's even more fun, nobody bothers to post a sign at the entrance with an estimated time of reopening. So if you weren't lucky enough to hear about the closing by word of mouth, you get to tramp all the way in only to be disappointed. Yet again. Stay away from this hillbilly hell hole.

My wife and I have been to just about every major amusement park on the North American continent, and without a doubt SDC was by far the worst. Waited in the parking lot for 45 minutes for a shuttle to the gate, isles narrow,prices off the chart and very un-senior friendly. Upon return to parking lot waited an additional 45 minutes for shuttle while watching the two 4-car shuttle drivers reading newspapers about 50 yards away. Go to Disneyland or Disney world and you will never wait longer than6 minutes for a shuttle. 6 Flags in KC 10 minutes, Magic Mountain in California 5 minutes, SDC is a sad and pathetic place, we will return to Branson but never to SDC.

I have a season pass to white water and silver dollar city. I was told when i got my season passes that i would get free ones. Well I called to see why i hadnt recieved them they told me because i got a residents pass i wont be recieving any.!!! SO I ask about a millitary discount my brother was back from iraq so i was going to take him. WEll they DO NOT HAVE a millitary disount!!!!!!!!!! The lady was mean and rude about it. When i called back to speak to them about that lady i was hung up on. Well silver dollar city doest a military thing with the flag raising in the morning when the open but the do not do a military discount. You all see anything wrong with this or is it just me?????

No madder what time of year you visit, my family and I have seen something new. We love coming to Siliver Dollar City. Now we bring the grandchildren.

Very few rides for children under 36 inches tall, maybe I'm comparing it to Disney to much. Or maybe management needs to take a trip there.even the childrens area isn't small child friendly, glad we took a stroller because that's were our 2 and a half year old had to stay most of the time.

For a vacation in the Midwest, SDC is the best! It is themed extremely well within the Ozark mountain context. If a person isn't careful, he might even learn something of the history and culture of the area! The hills also will give the legs a good work-out so some of the delicious food can be enjoyed with a little less guilt. We have gone to amusement parks all over the United States and with the exception of Disney and Universal, SDC is a favorite. It offers something different than the Six Flags properties with its Ozark mountain setting and craftsmen demonstrations.
