Silver Dollar City

I have recruited by daughter, A Glance At My World, to write this article, because I wanted you to feel the real passion of someone who loves Silver Dollar City. My entire family loves SDC, but none more than her.


Silver Dollar City, it’s the attraction that defines Branson.

Silver Dollar City was built with Marvel Cave as the foundation. Over the years many other rides and attractions have been added. I “discovered” SDC in 1996 when I was only 9-years-old. To me it was like heaven on earth.

My parents bought season tickets and we got to go a few times each year. Over the last eleven years we have made more then 30 trips to Branson with the sole reason being to go to SDC. You might wonder how after 11 years and growing-up to become a 21-year-old young woman, how am I not exhausted with that place?? Because SDC isn’t just a theme park, it’s truly what it says it is…a city. A place that feels like a home to me.

A lot of people don’t even have one good home, but I’m fortunate enough to have three. I have my real home at my parent’s house where I always feel safe and know that I don’t have to worry about anything. There’s my school home where my friends are, where I’m growing so much intellectually. Then there is my Silver Dollar City home. It’s the place where I always find myself smiling more then anywhere else.

Just as many other places, SDC has become a little more commercial over the years, but the same rides and many of the same performers are still there. You can look around and still see that all the charm is still there. SDC has held a place in my heart for the last 11 years and I know it always will. I have even had dreams of getting married in the wilderness church.

I love Silver Dollar City and wouldn’t be the same without it. SDC is even the reason for my love of music…but that’s another story. ;) Seriously though, how can you not love and connect to a place that calls the workers citizens?!?
