The following review of the Fairfield Branson
resort and the Branson area was posted to a
user group of which I am a member... I
thought that it fairly reviewed both the resort
and the area...
.... We went to Branson 2 years ago
(in July 2003) after reading about it in family
fun magazine. It was voted one of the top ten
vaction places for families with children under
12. We are always looking for new
experiences for our girls and
this turned out to be the best yet! My girls had
such a great time that they asked to go beck
to Branson instead of to Disney World (and for
the record they LOVE Disney!!!). One thing we
found to be a "fun"
filler for an hour or so was the Butterfly Place.
Sounds strange, but when my kids look back
through their scrapbooks this is the page they
talk about the most.
As adults we enjoyed the Branson Belle
dinner cruise, but our girls were not nearly as
impressed.
We also really loved Silver Dollar City and
Celebration City. The water park there is also
very nice. We found Branson to be such a
great laid back sort of place (this might be
because we are in the hustle and
bustle of living between New York and
Philadelphia and in an area that is filled with
comuputers to both areas).
As for the resort's activities program...it was
by far the best of all of the Fairfields we have
stayed at, and we
have been to quite a few over the past 10
years. The staff was also the nicest I have
found yet!
People are always amazed at how much I talk
about Branson. The place has the excitement
of Vegas, but with great morals attached to it.
I was also amazed
that I honestly did not hear one swear word
the entire time I was there (remember where I
said I live...I think the local vocabulary here
begins with inappropriate language...sigh!).
Branson is really a little slice of Heaven here on
Earth. Enjoy the trip!!!! I know we can't wait to
get back there next summer!............
