January in Branson

I know most shows shut down in January and February. Is there anything, shows or otherwise, left to do?

Yes, you're right that many of Branson's live shows take a break in January and February, but there’s still plenty to do in this beautiful town during the winter months! Here are a few activities and places you can enjoy even when the majority of shows are dark:

  • Silver Dollar City: The popular theme park is open during the winter months for special events like the Old Time Christmas celebration, which typically runs into the first week of January. While the rides might not all be running, you can still enjoy the beautifully decorated park, live performances, and holiday-themed activities. It’s a lovely way to soak up the festive atmosphere.
  • Branson Landing: The Branson Landing shopping and dining area is open year-round. You can enjoy the scenic views of Lake Taneycomo, shop, dine, or simply stroll along the boardwalk. The Fountains at Branson Landing also offer a fun water-and-light show, which is a great winter evening activity.
  • Indoor Attractions: If you’re looking for more indoor activities, there are plenty of museums and attractions that stay open in the winter. Consider visiting the Titanic Museum, which has an impressive collection of artifacts and exhibits. The Hollywood Wax Museum and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! are also great indoor options for family fun.
  • Table Rock Lake: While colder in January, Table Rock Lake still offers a stunning setting for winter walks or drives around the area. You can visit Table Rock State Park for hiking, or enjoy some quieter moments by the water with fewer crowds.
  • Shopping at Tanger Outlets: If you're a fan of shopping, the Tanger Outlets in Branson are open and offer great discounts on a variety of name-brand goods. It's a great way to pass some time indoors while picking up some bargains.
  • Spa & Wellness: Branson also has a number of spas and wellness centers, perfect for a relaxing winter retreat. If you're looking to unwind, consider booking a massage or a spa day at one of the local resorts.

While Branson in January might be quieter than the peak summer or fall months, it still has a lot to offer visitors who are looking for a more relaxed experience. Whether it’s shopping, scenic views, or indoor attractions, you’ll find something to enjoy!
