However, there may be some things you didn’t quite know about us yet, and we’re here to share them with you. Keep reading to learn the top eight things you didn’t know about our Branson, Missouri show.

1. You’ll Want to Arrive an Hour Early.

One important thing to know about our show is that you’ll want to arrive early. We recommend arriving an hour early to soak up all the fun activities before the show! You can take a stroll down our Horse Walk to meet our four-legged stars of the show, enjoy our pre-show in the Saloon, and visit our gift shop for cheering flags, plush animals, and more. This gives you plenty of time to have fun before taking your seats in our arena.

2. You’ll Get Two Shows in One.

Speaking of our pre-show — you’ll get two shows for the price of one when you visit Dolly Parton’s Stampede! Join us in the Saloon for live bluegrass and country music that will get you geared up for our high-spirited adventure in the Stampede. Be sure to grab some popcorn and a drink in a souvenir boot mug to enjoy while you watch the pre-show!

3. We Have Special Meals Available.

We’re sure you’ve heard about our four-course feast, but did you know that we also offer special meals upon request? We wanted everyone who visits us to be able to enjoy the dinner portion of our show, so we added vegetarian and gluten-free options to accommodate those with dietary restrictions and preferences. All you have to do is let us know when you make your reservations if you would like a special meal!

4. We Have 200 Tons of Sand Imported Each Year.

Have you ever wondered about the work that goes into making sure our arena’s ready for our show every night? If you didn’t already know, our arena floor is covered in sand. This is to create a soft surface that’s dust-free and gentler for our horses’ legs. We actually have our sand imported from South Carolina each year! Two hundred tons of white sand is needed to cover the floor of our 35,000-square-foot arena.

5. We Have Combo Tickets Available.

We want our guests to make the most out of their visits to Branson, which is why we offer combo tickets! Our combo tickets allow you to enjoy a visit to our Branson, Missouri show, as well as the Titanic Museum Attraction. All you have to do is view our show schedule, choose the date and time you want to see our show, and then add your Titanic Museum Attraction tickets at checkout! We make it easy to secure your spot at two of the most popular attractions in town.

6. We Offer A Special Holiday Show.
