Tucked into the Ozark Mountains, Branson is a very popular destination for tourists, particularly those who enjoy glitzy outdoor shows. Launched in 1959, the Branson shows were first started with the Baldknobbers Jamboree Show, and due to their immense popularity, musical shows like this have been running every single week since it's inception. A large portion of the shows are country and western, but in recent years the range has diversified to include some more modern talent on stage. Enjoy a romantic evening with a gorgeous and demure escort in Branson, and see for yourself how much fun the Branson concerts can be.

Route 66 was constructed in 1923 and is one of the most famous highways in the United States. St. Louis is the major Missouri location found on Route 66, but there are plenty of additional interesting stops along the way.
