The arrival of summer spotlights a great American tradition: family summer travel. And as families look for ways to pack adventure into their limited time off – and please all ages – parks and attractions that offer a broad range of rides and activities, such as Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, rise to the top for weekend get-aways as well as full vacation trips.

Cited for a combination of “scream-worthy” thrill rides as well as family attractions and rides for smaller kids, Silver Dollar City was recently named to the list of Best Amusement Parks for Families from TripAdvisor’s family travel site Family Vacation Critic, and in Top-Rated TripAdvisor Attractions in 50 States. Carried by outlets from MSN Travel and AOL to the Today Show’s website and Facebook, the national recognition gives families more reasons to vacation in Branson, profiled along with Silver Dollar City as one of the 17 Best Affordable Destinations in the USA by U.S. News & World Report. And for true thrill seekers, Silver Dollar City’s world-famous wood coaster Outlaw Run was recently recognized by MSN Travel as one of the Most Terrifying Roller Coasters in the World for the Ultimate Thrill.
