Silver Dollar City

"Had a lot of fun, but there was such a long wait for rides and food that we didn't get to see much of the park. I recommend going more than one day if you can or go when the park isn't as busy. We have go e several times, and Halloween and Christmas are just so busy, but definitely both are a must see just be prepared for longer wait times. We bought tickets in advance, so our wait time to enter wasn't that long at all."

"This is a unique amusement park. The mining village theme for the buildings is good. The humour associated with the narration of its mining history and the tour guides stories were very much enjoyable. One of the tour guides asked for tips which will only be used to "help children" and he has five children :-D. Another one asked riders of the train not to activate the emergency brake if they don't have an emergency because if they did, "one will be provided for them" :-D. The roller coasters here are of the moderate thrill type and are quite enjoyable. Christmas season is particularly good because of the lighting. This is one of the best I have ever seen. Nearly the entire theme park was beautifully decorated with lights. For me personally, the jewel on the crown was the Marvel Cave - a 500-foot deep cave with an underground waterfall."

"SDC did not disappoint! 1st time being there and it was perfect timing with it being the holiday season. So our family got to enjoy the Christmas lights, it was incredible. It was like a little village with various different kinds of things to enjoy. While the tickets may seem pricey, there were plenty of fun. During the cold season, not all the rides were open but it did not affect the overall experience. It was a lot of walking and we had a 5YO, so I’d recommend plan accordingly."

"What can I say, we love this place! We have been visiting as a family since we moved to Missouri 5 years ago. Last year, we finally became Season Pass members, and it was so worth it! I bought 2 for our family of four, and they both came with free friends passes and we used those for the other 2 of us. I love the Pioneer theme, like Dollywood, and all the rides and artisan shops. The live shows are great too. But my very favorite things that they offer are the seasonal festivals and food/drink passports. We loved the garden fest in Spring, seeing the Circus in the summer, and the pumpkin dance party in the fall. Then of course, tonight we went to our favorite Christmas lights festival! The food passport is around $35, and you get to choose 5 seasonal choices from the different food vendors. We buy 1 and share. It is definitely worth it for the price and food selections! Our favorites are the soups, skillets, and funnel cakes!"

"Night time was gorgeous, which is why I wanted to come during Christmas! The weather was perfect (65 degrees). I wish there was a little bit more detailed information to get around and enjoy everything. It was confusing and I feel we didn’t even get to explore half the park. Overall, I would recommend! Pay attention to discounted rates. Instead of $99 a person we paid $59.99. From rides to shows to the light show, it was a great experience!!! The turtles from the Brown’s Candy Store are a must-have!"
