It’s consistently ranked high on our annual Most Affordable Lake Towns list, because of the many different types of properties and price ranges available.

Brandon is a family-friends vacation hot spot and is growing every year. There is really something for everyone, from live shows to rides, and a new aquarium Branson is a really fun place to visit. We loved our time there when we visited a few years back and looking forward to going back soon.
