Best Farms & Nature in Branson for Kids & Families

Looking for the best farms & nature in Branson for kids? As Ozark Mountain family entertainment hub, Branson offers animal farms, botanical gardens, and nature centers that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Farms and nature centers offer something screens can't — direct contact with animals and growing things. We flag petting zoo cleanliness, whether there are handwashing stations, and seasonal availability (many farms are seasonal operations). In Branson, expect four seasons — fall foliage is spectacular, summer is the busiest season. Pro tip: Shows are the main attraction and many are matinees. Silver Dollar City is the can't-miss theme park.
