Rainy days in Branson are our favorite things in the world. Contrary to what most people believe, summer showers do not put a damper on your activities; they just add a little extra shimmer to an experience that already sparkles brightly! You don’t have to be a good sport to enjoy your time in the deluge. We honestly think you won’t even notice the dampness when you partake in these awesome Branson rainy day activities that help chase away the rainy-day blues!
Experience the Natural Side of Branson
The Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure allows you to experience the beauty of nature without getting rained on at all. Located at 4106 West Highway 76, both of these magical activities will keep your family entertained throughout the storm.
Take a Walk Back in Time with These Branson Rainy Day Activities
Relive your childhood days with a visit to the World’s Largest Toy Museum, found at 3609 West Highway 76. This unique museum is filled with more than a million of your favorite toys. From the first Barbie Doll to that iconic Lionel Train set, the toys found here will bring more than a few happy memories to mind during your rainy-day adventures.
Go Fishing
Everyone knows that fish bite more when the rain is falling, so rent a pole, grab some bait, and head to any of the three lakes in the area—Lake Taneycomo, Table Rock Lake, or Bull Shoals Lake—and work on catching the night’s dinner. Quiet, peaceful, and yes, slightly damp, the wet won’t matter at all when you get your first taste of the beautiful bass you caught with this Branson rainy day activity!
Head Underground for a Few Hours
Talking Rock Caverns, found at 423 Fairy Cave Lane, offers a magical escape from the showers above. We’ve done a lot of traveling over the years, and these caves are about the most beautiful we’ve ever seen!
Go to the Shows
Let’s face it: The Branson shows are really why you are here, and if you’re inside, a storm of biblical proportions can be going on outside and you won’t really care! Legends in Concert, Amazing Acrobats of Shanghai, even a good magic show like the Magic & Comedy of Taylor Reed will take you away to another world where it never rains and you are always smiling!
Stay Inside Your Sunset Nightly Rentals Cozy Cabin
Our rentals are designed to be lived in, so why not take a day and play at home? Take a nap as the sound of the rain beating down on the cabin’s roof lulls you into a deep sleep, read a book on the patio with a cup of cocoa and a delicious muffin, or watch television until the skies dry out; it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are having fun—reserve your stay today!
When we were young, our parent’s favorite activity to participate in on a lazy Sunday afternoon was to take a long drive, seemingly with no destination in mind. They just enjoyed the journey. We would drive for a couple of hours with the music playing low as our parents pointed out cows in fields and the beautiful fall leaves. Today, we continue the tradition with our families, enjoying the everchanging landscape of the Ozarks as we drive along some of the most beautiful roads in the area. If you are vacationing here, these scenic drives in Branson may just end up being the highlight of your entire trip!
Table Rock Lake to Kimberling City and Back
Fall is here, and the scenery in the area is absolutely exquisite, making this particular trip even more beautiful now than any other time of the year! Beginning at the Branson Chamber of Commerce offices, head towards Highway 248, turn right at the traffic light and follow 248 through the Branson Hills. This two-lane road is filled with stunning scenery, so be sure to stop along the way and take some pictures. The drive continues when you turn left on 465, continuing to road’s end to Highway 76. When you reach Branson West, you will turn on Highway 13; the views of Table Rock Lake begin here, allowing you to see it’s just as beautiful from afar as it from up close. Highway 13 will merge into Highway 86; stay on 86 until you reach 65. When you turn left onto Highway 65, you will be nearing the end of your 90-minute drive as you return to Branson proper.
Blue Buck Knob Scenic By-Way
This scenic drive around Branson lasts only 45 minutes one way as it meanders through the Mark Twain National Forest. As you leave Branson, you will take Highway 76 to 160 to 181. The natural beauty of the forest will take your breath away. Cool, clear streams and tall green trees that turn fiery in the fall make this one of our favorite road trips. You can turn around and head back to Branson at this point, or continue on as you choose.
Glade Trail
This trail also lasts only 45 minutes one way. Taking 76 from Branson to 160 down to 125 and then ending at the Glade Top Trail, the views are similar, but can you ever get enough pictures of the Ozarks? Serene, tranquil, and unbelievably breathtaking, your Branson vacation will be enhanced by this quiet road trip.
Sunset Nightly Rentals Holds the Key to Your Peaceful Branson Vacation
Our cabins and homes allow you to continue the peaceful experience in comfort and style; reserve yours today and be sure to take some time for sitting on the porch and just breathing.
You’d think that by now we would be used to all the new shows that come to town, especially since we are the Live Entertainment Capital of the World, and a new show is as commonplace as Tuesday; it’s going to happen whether we want it to or not! But every so often, there are new Branson shows that manages to reach into our chests and give our heartstrings a little tug. The lights, the performers, the performance, the music—it’s all magical, and it all strikes a chord in our emotional band. The Rock Vault Show is one such show, and we are so excited about it, we can’t wait to share the information with you!
The Only Stones Involved are Rolling Ones
The Rock Vault Show, held at the Starlite Theater at 3115 West 75 Country Boulevard, is all about the music that made us dance, sing, and scream during our formative years, and the Rolling Stones are just a small part of this magnificent show! Using historical videos, fascinating re-enactments, and live performances so realistic you will find it difficult to believe that Mick, Paul, Freddy, and Steven are not the ones performing, you may find it impossible to stay in your seats (though former members are a part of the show)! The rock music we grew up with, from the 60s to the 90s, compels your feet to move no matter how determined you are not to let them! The history of rock and roll comes alive, sounding even better (don’t tell the superstars we said that!) than the original rock gods that made us scream as they swiveled their hips, made love to the microphones, and taught us that sometimes, if you work hard enough and have the talent to go along with the work ethic, you too, can have a chance to be adored by millions as you belt out the songs that mean so much to so many!
Appearing July 6th Through July 22nd
If you ever enjoyed the musical stylings of not just The Rolling Stones or The Beatles, but The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Journey, Heart… Oh, who we are kidding? If you enjoy rock from any era, this extravaganza is going to bring you back to those magical glory days of your youth. Appearing nightly at 7:30 from July 6th through July 22nd, if you miss this show, you are going to regret it for the rest of your life! Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, but if you are in town, this show NEEDS to be put on your bucket list now!
Singing in Your Sleep After this Branson Entertainment Show
Long after the Branson entertainment show has ended and you are back resting comfortably in your Sunset Nightly Rentals vacation home, you may just find yourself singing the songs that made this night so special. Get online and make your reservations for one of our vacation rentals today, and while you’re clicking around, don’t forget to buy tickets for the Rock Vault Show!
For most of us, we wait all year for that one vacation, the one where we imagine we will rest, relax, and recharge our internal batteries that have been worn down from 51 weeks of stress, challenges, and overwork. We also imagine that we can do all of the above while visiting a new city, state, or even country, and while touring all the most popular attractions of the area. The reality is, however, in most instances it is impossible to do both, and we return to our real lives even more worn down than we left them. It’s a vicious circle that is repeated annually, and we at Sunset Nightly Rentals want to help you slide some relaxation into your fun-filled and action-packed Branson vacation by sharing with you some of our favorite relaxing activities.
Take a Lake Cruise
Branson and its surroundings have a natural beauty that can be best enjoyed from the deck of a sightseeing cruise on Lake Taneycomo. Main Street Lake Cruises in Branson Landing offers a variety of cruises that will relax you (no exercise needed!) as they take your breath away and give you front row seats to the enchantment that is Branson.
Tour a Winery
With three different wineries in the area, you could fill an entire day with wine tastings—just be sure to hire a driver if you do! Nothing is more relaxing than sharing a glass (or two or three!) with the one you love more, and Mount Pleasant Winery (3125 Green Mountain Drive), Lindwedel Winery (3158 MO-265), and Curling Vine Winery (601 MO-165) offer plenty of relaxation therapy!
Take a Walk Through the Woods
Stroll along marked trails, breathing in fresh mountain air as you take in the seriously beautiful woods that surround you. In the spring and summer, a sea of lush and verdant green will amaze you; in the winter, the stark brown trees highlight the fairy like beauty of the snow-covered grounds; in the fall, color, color, color everywhere you turn will take your breath away!
Take a Spa Day
Nothing relaxes us more than being pampered with a full body massage, and the wonderful employees of City Spatique, located at 3044 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway #212, have one mission: to ensure that their clients leave feeling better than they have in months!
Stay Home
There is no law stating that every minute of your Branson vacation needs to be filled with activities and adventures. Take a day and sleep as late as you want, eat donuts for breakfast (We have Krispy Kreme!) and just relax. Book your Sunset Nightly Rentals vacation cabin today and discover the joys of doing nothing—if only for a day!
