Visiting Kansas City, Branson, Springfield & Western Missouri

Kansas City, Branson, Springfield and Western Missouri - Whether a Road Trip, Vacation or Business, stop and let the Show-Me State show you some fun. Always convenient, a flight into Kansas City International Airport gets travelers off right. Regardless of your arrival time, the Kansas City Power & Light District is hopping with fun and entertainment. The new Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City is sure to have an event, and if you are on business, the downtown Kansas City Convention Center is close to both. Kansas City is Missouri’s largest city, but it is only the beginning of what the state's western region has to offer.

Branson, well known for its live shows and entertainment, is always a big draw. Just 40 minutes south of Springfield in the Ozark Mountains, Branson is the gem of southwest Missouri. The Smoky Mountain Palace Theater is hosting the New Shanghai Circus, Always Patsy Cline is on stage at God and Country Theatre, the Grand Jubilee is showing at Grand Country Music Hall - and the list of wonderful entertainment and shows goes on.

In summer, cool off at White Water, Branson’s premier water park, or Silver Dollar City, Branson’s theme park - it is open almost all year. Bring the family to Branson – there is a good time for all. No need to return to downtown Branson when you visit Silver Dollar City, you can stay next door at the Best Western hotel. Conveniently located for those booking a Branson hotel or Branson West hotel, Best Western offers a shuttle to the park and is only five miles from all the excitement of Branson.

North of Branson on Highway 65 is Springfield, Missouri’s third largest city. A wonderful mix of big city and small town heart, Springfield is home to Missouri State University and headquarters of outdoor retailer, Bass Pro Shops. The weather varies by season, but it is a constant 60 degrees at Fantastic Caverns. Located north of Springfield on Farm Road, this is the only ride-through cave in America, plus it's a comfortable and easy adventure. Families visiting Springfield enjoy the Discover Center located on St Louis Street – a fun interactive museum of learning, and also a great location for a business event.

For small town fun and American traditions head north of Kansas City. Saint Joseph, west of Interstate 29, was the eastern home of the Pony Express, which is celebrated in St Joseph’s Pony Express Museum. Cameron, east on Highway 36 at the intersection with Interstate 35, celebrates summer with the Cameron Rodeo Roundup, Cameron Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament and Crossroads BBQ Cook-Off. Cameron is also home to the Western Missouri Correctional Center and Crossroads Correctional Center. Brookfield, further east calls itself ”A Great Place to land!”. Brookfield is near General John J Pershing State Park and hosts the nationally known Pershing Balloon Derby on Labor Day.
