10 Things to Do in Branson for a Relaxing Weekend Getaway

Matt and I just got back from Branson a few weeks ago, and it was so nice to be back there with Matt to spend some time together. We have been taking the kids there for about 6 years, and they always have such a blast! But it’s not just for families. There are so many great things to do right here in Branson for couples that are romantic, relaxing and picturesque. Keep reading for some of our favorites we have crossed off our list over the years.

1.) Go hiking – My preferred way to spend my time in Branson, we just LOVE to go hiking. Dogwood Canyon is a great spot to hike in town, but you can explore more good spots here too.

2.) Go kayaking – This might be my favorite way to see the lake while in Branson. It’s a great workout, and it’s peaceful. It’s been my favorite outdoor activity as of late.

3.) Go swimming – With a beautiful lake and landscape like this, swimming is one of our favorite things to do here. Whether in the lake or in the pool or hot tub, we love spending afternoons in the water in Branson.

4.) Go fishing – If you’re staying at Big Cedar Lodge, Bent Hook Marina is our favorite spot to go fishing, but there are several great spots to fish in Branson.

5.) Try out a new coffee shop – We stopped by Vintage Paris and fell in love with the coffee. They also have wine, beer and pastries. It was such a nice treat right here in Branson!

6.) Go golfing – With the background being The Ozarks and Table Rock Lake, there are several gorgeous golf courses in the area, but our favorite is Top of the Rock Golf Course. It is 9 holes and is one of the prettiest courses I have ever seen.

7.) Have a spa day – Our favorite spa in the area is Cedar Creek Spa & Salon at Big Cedar Lodge. We go every year, and LOVE their couples’ massage. Their spa is so pretty and has such beautiful views. It is the perfect way to spend a relaxing day on your trip.

8.) Visit Dogwood Canyon Nature Park – There is so much to do here! You can go horseback riding, fishing, hiking, cycling and more throughout their 10,000 acres.

9.) Take a lake cruise – With so many options, you will love taking a cruise on Table Rock Lake. They have day cruises, fireworks cruises, brunch cruises, cocktail cruises, dinner cruises and more. What a beautiful and relaxing way to spend the day.

10.) Shop and explore downtown Branson – You can ride the trolley through old, downtown Branson while doing some shopping, exploring and eating. You can also head to Branson Landing where there is plenty of shopping, restaurants, fountains to watch and even rides to ride. There is something for everyone here!
