September things to do
We are a group of four 70 year olds going to be random for the first time. Which shows would we like? What else is fun to do?
Branson in September is a wonderful time to visit—crowds are smaller than in the summer, the weather is generally mild, and many of the shows and attractions are in full swing. For a group of four 70-year-olds, you’ll likely enjoy a mix of classic live entertainment, scenic experiences, and relaxing attractions.
When it comes to shows, Branson has something for everyone, but some of the most enjoyable for an older group include traditional music, variety acts, and family-friendly performances rather than high-energy, youth-oriented shows. Here are some top recommendations:
- Presleys’ Country Jubilee – A classic Branson experience with music, comedy, and family-friendly fun. The pace is relaxed and enjoyable.
- Clay Cooper Show – A mix of country, gospel, and variety acts with audience participation. Very entertaining and high-quality production.
- Dolly Parton’s Stampede – A dinner show featuring horse stunts, music, and a hearty meal. Fun for the full group and very interactive.
- Comedy Jamboree or The Haygoods – Depending on your interest in comedy or music ensembles, these shows offer a mix of singing, dancing, and light humor.
- Daniel O’Donnell or Shoji Tabuchi (if running in September) – These are slower-paced, musical, and enjoyable for those who prefer softer entertainment.
Aside from shows, there are plenty of attractions and activities that might appeal to your group without being physically strenuous:
- Table Rock Lake and Scenic Overlooks – A relaxed drive with opportunities for photos and gentle walks along the water.
- Branson Landing – Shopping, waterfront strolling, and dining with an evening fountain show.
- Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery – Educational and easy to walk through, with beautiful outdoor areas.
- Historic Downtown Branson – Small shops, cafes, and a pleasant atmosphere for wandering without needing a car.
- Patriots Park or Veteran’s Memorial Park – Quiet, scenic parks with easy paths for a leisurely stroll.
If your group enjoys light adventures, you could consider:
- Scenic train rides or boat tours – Such as the Branson Scenic Railway or Table Rock Lake cruises, offering sightseeing with minimal physical exertion.
- Mini-golf or classic entertainment venues – Many have gentle walking areas and nostalgic experiences, enjoyable for a relaxed afternoon.
- Butterfly Palace or Aquarium – Indoor attractions with easy walking and beautiful displays.
In summary, a mix of classic variety shows, gentle scenic activities, and relaxing walks around Branson’s lakes and downtown will provide a well-rounded and enjoyable trip for your group in September.
