Our son's favorite trip was to Wisconsin Dells. Lots to do in Branson for kids, but most activities do require a fee. There is Silver Dollar City, Dogwood Canyon(one of our favorites), several caves, tours of the dam, the new Dewey Short Visitor Center (free), the fish hatchery(free), Ride the Ducks, several shows geared for children, butterfly palace, original Bass Pro in Springfield, a nice Water Park, plenty of go cart tracks, putt putt, ziplines, several museums, a train ride, several boat rides, Table Rock Lake (can rent boats) and fish. Moonshine beach has a sandy beach for a relaxing day by the water($5.00 a day pass for car). Table Rock State Park (free) and Dewey Short often have free activities for the kids.
