Check Out This Deal from Hilton Promenade in Branson, MO

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel in Missouri are offering a great deal (for families like yours)  this Spring!  The package includes 2 adult tickets, and two children tickets (age 4-11) for 2 full days at Silver Dollar City.  Silver Dollar City is a great attraction that includes a theme park, water park, show boat, and much more!  The package also includes $25 meal voucher for the steak house in the hotel, and 2 nights (3 days) in the Branson Convention Center Hotel.  

 

Branson, Missouri is a little-known tourist area that both fits the budget, and keeps the kids happy.  In addition to Silver Dollar City, there's the Food and Wine Fest, Bluegrass and BBQ, 49 live entertainment theaters, and you can book it all before Mother's Day!  

The Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel is a beautiful, well maintained, and VERY kid-friendly place to stay.  It's got a pool, it's only 40 minutes from Springfield Regional Airport, and 20 minutes from Silver Dollar City!  

Here's an itinerary of things you can do in Branson (keep in mind the discounts on Silver Dollar City tickets that come with this package~ you can't beat it!):
