Consider which season you wish to visit the city in. Branson schedules activities throughout the year. Taking note of festivals and events can help you decide which time you wish to plan your visit. Spring time brings the World Fest festival, summer presents the opportunity to practice water sports on area lakes such as Table Rock Lake, fall remains home to multiple chili cook-offs and the Annual Fire and Thunder Fireworks display, while winter showcases area chateaus and winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
Visit a travel agent. A travel agency such as Kaleidoscope Adventures, in your hometown or in Branson, may provide you with area information, coupons and tickets to special events. A travel agency can also help you find discounts on flights, lodging and car services and possibly book your reservations.
Reserve accommodations early. Call and reserve accommodations and possibly receive early bird discounts. Avoid last minute searching for a hotel and reserve in advance. Call the Branson Tourism Center to book room and entertainment packages at hotels such as the Comfort Inn and Suites, Hilton Promenade and Grand Plaza Hotel.
Pack for the weather. The seasons in Branson are temperate. Winters are frigid and snowy and summer days are warm with mild evenings. Prepare warm hats, gloves, snowsuits and boots if planning winter activities on the mountains like snowboarding. Pack swimsuits and towels for the lake while visiting in the warmer weather.
