Answer: Springfield

Branson is about 45 miles south of Springfield. If you're flying into Branson, you'll come in to the Springfield-Branson National Airport on the north side of Springfield.

Answer: Highway 76

Highway 76 goes by several different names, including Main Street and 76 Country Boulevard. However, it's often referred to simply as "the Strip." The Strip is only three lanes wide (two lanes each way, plus a central turning lane), and is known for nasty bumper-to-bumper traffic.

3. It's Saturday morning. You decide to start your Branson vacation with a Ride the Ducks sightseeing tour. What's unique about the "ducks," the vehicles you ride in?

A Ride the Ducks tour includes sightseeing throughout Branson, as well as a dip in Lake Taneycomo or Table Rock Lake (depending on which location your tour starts from). While on the lake, kids get a chance to "drive" the duck.

4. In the afternoon, you decide to take in a comedy show. Which of the following Branson comedians is known for his catchphrase, "What a country!"?

Yakov Smirnoff, a Russian comedian, is very popular in Branson. The other three choices are also terrific Branson comedians.

6. It's Sunday morning. Which of these places could you experience a Branson church service?

Answer: The Wilderness Church at Silver Dollar City

The Wilderness Church hosts two services on Sunday mornings. Branson is a strong moral community, and offers a variety of unique religious services. Other Branson church services include Sunday morning gospel shows and traditional services, many of which are held in theaters.

7. In the afternoon, you want to take the kids to a theme park. You decide to go to Silver Dollar City, a well-known 1880s-themed park, but which other Branson parks could you have chosen from?

BigSurf is a water park in central Missouri.

8. On Sunday night, you take the kids to a dinner show that Dolly Parton calls "the most fun place to eat in Branson!" What show is it?

Answer: Dixie Stampede

Branson is one of four Dixie Stampede locations across the South (others are in Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida). The show features horses, buffalo, ostriches, pyrotechnics, and a four-course feast!

9. On Monday morning, you visit the popular lakefront shopping destination downtown... what's it called?

Answer: Branson Landing

Branson Landing was opened in 2006. The waterfront destination has it all: 100+ restaurants and stores, condominiums, and a 243-room Hilton!

Answer: Red Route, Blue Route, Yellow Route

Each of the colored routes runs roughly parallel to the Strip, and several shorter, perpendicular roads connect each route to the Strip. It's a fast, convenient way for Branson locals (and knowledgeable tourists) to get around.
