Trip Itinerary


Day 1 Kansas City, MO

We have a fun trip filled with music, laughter and fun in Branson during fall colors! We will spend this first day getting acquainted with our fellow travelers as we travel to our overnight destination of Kansas City, Missouri.

Day 2 Branson, MO

We will depart our hotel this morning and travel to Branson making a stop for lunch on your own along the way. Upon arrival to Branson, we will attend Pierce Arrow, featuring the Pierce Arrow Quartet and 2022 Branson Comedian of the Year James Sibley. We will go on a one-of-a-kind musical and comedy journey through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Dinner is included this evening. Our next show this is the Presleys’ Country Jubilee, a mix of Country, Gospel, Bluegrass and Hilarious Comedy. They were an Ozark’s family who played the underground stages of the Missouri hills. Folks from all over would pack the caves to hear their legendary family performances. So many, in fact, the caverns couldn’t hold them anymore. So the Presleys left the caves and bought themselves a piece of land out on an isolated two-lane stretch of asphalt just outside of town. Wasn’t long after that when their show opened in a brand new theater and it became Branson’s original country music theater and the Presleys are still a smash hit! (B, D)

Day 3 Branson, MO

Today we will tour the College of the Ozarks, a private Christian college. The institution provides the opportunity for full-time students to work at one of more than 100 campus jobs or industries to help pay for part of their tuition. The remaining portion of the students’ expenses is covered through scholarships provided by gifts and contributions from donors. Lunch will be on your own at Branson Landing. Our afternoon will be filled with fun at the #1 Hits of the ‘60s Show. Hear classic hit songs from the Beatles, the Mamas and Papas, the Beach Boys and so much more in this groovy show! You’ll be dancing and singing along to hits from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s! Dinner is included this evening again before attending The Haygoods. They bring down the house with incredibly tight harmonies, energetic choreography and stunning acapella harmonies. You will HEAR an uber talented family performing hits from the 60’s through today on over 20 different instruments featuring Country, Rock ‘N’ Roll, Pop and everything in between. (B, D)

Day 4 Branson, MO

Our journey today takes us to Dogwood Canyon for a tram tour of the park. We pass by beautiful bluffs and waterfalls along with the Bison-Elk Country pasture. Lunch is included here. Next, experience the unforgettable two-and-a-half-mile journey on an electric cart as you explore the Top of the Rock Lost Canyon and Nature Trail. This trail features stunning rock formations, waterfalls and views of Table Rock Lake. A stop will also be made at the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum featuring the American West, prehistoric creatures, civil war and Native American Artifacts. Tonight, enjoy an included dinner before our evening entertainment, Clay Cooper Country Express. This show features music of all styles including country, rock n roll, gospel, and even patriotic! If you are a music lover or you love good entertainment, then Clay Cooper’s Country Express is a show that you’ve got to see. From the opening curtain to the final act, you won’t want to miss a moment of this show. (B, L, D)
