Operated by:Herschend Family Entertainment

Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri is one of the oldest tourist attractions in the Ozark Mountains and one of the world’s best theme parks. Its history is based around the Marvel Cave, which still can be experienced during guided tours. With the reconstruction of a typical 1880s Ozark Village, the foundation stone for today’s Silver Dollar City theme park and the Herschend Family Entertainment Group was laid.

Silver Dollar City is home to a large number of outstanding roller coasters and family-friendly rides, as well as an excellent entertainment offer, including shows, street performance and edutainment. As everything is based on the 1880s Ozark Village, the park offers an extremely immersive experience. There is something new to discover at every corner of the amusement park, no matter how small.

Fun Fact: The launched coaster Powder Keg used to be a water coaster called Buzzsaw Falls.
