With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Branson, 35 miles away, has to offer. Branson Landing should be high up on your list here. Sight and Sound Theatres and White Water are terrific attractions too. Mountain View is another terrific option. It’s 50 miles away and home to a range of awesome things to see and do. Ozark Folk Center State Park, Blanchard Springs Caverns and Cash’s White River Theater are just the start.
