Five Romantic Activities to Enjoy While Vacationing in Branson, MO

March 5, 2018 by John Telford

When you think of romantic destinations in the United States, the city of Branson, MO isn’t usually quick to pop into mind, but it’s time to re-think your feelings. Did you know that Branson can act as that perfect getaway for couples who are looking to escape the crowds of a large city and enjoy a little romance? Branson has a number of hidden gems to discover with that all-important romantic touch to them. With that in mind, here’s a list of romantic things to do in Branson, MO, and be prepared because some of them may surprise you.

Take a Ride On the Branson Scenic Railway

There’s just something so romantic and mysterious about train travel, especially when it takes place on a classic train straight out of the 1930s-1960s. That is exactly the experience you’ll be treated to with the Branson Scenic Railway that travels through the stunning, and romantic, Ozark Mountains.

This is a guided tour, so you’ll be able to learn about the area as you travel through it. Besides the mountain views, you’ll also get to take in bridges that are a century old, ghost towns, and maybe even spot some wildlife along the way. There are three bubble-top cars which provide passengers with an even more spectacular view. This tour is open year-round, so obviously you’ll have a different experience depending on which season you visit.

For that added dose of romance, you can book the Saturday night dinner train, which offers a mouth-watering four-course dinner that is enjoyed by candlelight.

Enjoy Quiet Solitude on Table Rock Lake

Perhaps you define romance by enjoying quiet time with one another, away from everyone else. If that’s the case then the quiet solitude of Table Rock Lake is perfect. You can enjoy fishing on the lake, which also happens to be free, allowing you to enjoy that all-important one-on-one time. Expect to catch white bass, spotted bass, largemouth bass, channel cat, crappie, panfish, and bream here.

Silver Dollar City – a True Branson Landmark

If you define romance as engaging in a fun activity together where you get to share some laughs, then Silver Dollar City is a must-visit. This theme park has a unique feel to it as it is meant to feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to the 1880s. It offers rides and attractions galore, festivals that take place throughout the year, shows, dining, and even the Marvel Cave for exploring.

Get Your Dose of Animal Cuteness at the Promise Land Zoo

For those who are animal lovers, a visit to the Promise Land Zoo will fill your day with cute moments shared together. What makes this zoo so unique is that it offers up-close animal encounters, walking, and driving trails.

It Doesn’t Stop There

This is just a small look at what Branson has to offer for couples looking for romantic activities. Also worth visiting are the Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure, the Titanic Museum, and Presley’s Theatre. Romance is definitely in the air here in Branson, MO.
