Branson is a year-round destination, with shows and events planned each month of the year. If you want to skip the large crowds or enjoy mild weather, however, you'll want to plan carefully.
Summer is high season in Branson, especially with families taking summer vacations. The weather tends to be hot, and all attractions bustling with visitors. You'll have a blast if you visit during the summer.
For milder weather and smaller crowds, plan your visit in the spring or fall. You'll catch the flowering trees in the spring or the changing leaves in the fall, plus you'll also save on lower hotel room rates.
For the biggest discounts on Branson hotels, plan to visit during the winter. Certain entertainment shows may not be running and the weather may be chilly, but you'll delight in the Christmas festivities that take over Branson in December.
If you're looking for great deals on hotels, you'll find plenty of exclusive discounts in the Branson area. For example, military members and government employees receive guaranteed low rates at the Capital Resorts The Lodges at Table Rock Lake and the Grand Crowne Resorts.
AAA members receive 5 to 10 percent discounts at the Radisson Hotel Branson and other area hotels. Senior travelers and AARP members can save with discounts of 10 percent or more at Marriott's Willow Ridge Lodge and other popular Branson hotels.

We saw Queen Esther at Sight & Sound Theater. There is nothing like it. The staging covered three walls of the theater and it was marvelous. The acting and live animals were perfect. I'll go again whenever I can. Tickets were reasonably priced. Aside from our conference, we did some shopping on the Landing and Tanger Outlet Mall. It was a lovely trip.
