What Branson Landing Is and Where It Sits
Branson Landing is a downtown district on Lake Taneycomo, with shops, dining, entertainment and a waterfront boardwalk. It opened in the summer of 2006.
The site map marks Bass Pro Shops, Belk, Town Square and Main Street Lake Cruises among the district’s landmarks. It also identifies the Water & Fire Show area, a parking garage, public restrooms and stops for shuttles and trains. A downtown trolley drop-off is marked as well.
How do you get to Branson Landing?
The district sits in downtown Branson, so you can head there by car or use the downtown trolley once you’re in the area.
For a downtown outing, the free trolley called Sparky serves Branson Landing and the Convention Center among 12 stops. Its operating schedule changes by season: it runs 9 a.m.–6 p.m. seven days a week from March through December, and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on weekends in January and February. It does not operate on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day.
