Park Update
Highlighting Rainbow Parks
Turkey Creek
By Travis Carr #8, Rainbow Parks, Vice President
Located in the quaint town of Hol lister, Turkey Creek
Rainbow Park is only a hop, skip and a jump away from
the famous smal l-town shows, attractions and much
more of the Branson, Missouri, area.
Nestled in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, Turkey
Creek is both a beautiful and peaceful park with water
access to Lake Taneycomo. It is one of those places that
have something for everyone, making it a perfect location
to vacation, or to get some rest-and-relaxation time along
your way.
Branson is known worldwide for its ample offerings of
family entertainment and wide variety of shows, ranging
from swinging acrobats to magicians. You’ll also find
every kind of music, from opera to rock and roll. Whether
you are looking for concerts, museums or outlet shopping
malls, your days will be filled with fun and excitement.
And, even though Branson has so much going on, the town
has managed to keep that wonderful small-town charm that
we all love.
Don’t miss the free spectacular $7.5 million water
fountain show, synchronized to light, sound, music and fire
at the Branson Landing, located only one mile from the
park. Enjoy dinner with a beautiful view of the water and
a unique shopping atmosphere. You can even catch a land
and water adventure with “Ride the Ducks,” which has
been a favorite of mine since I was a child.
For the more adventurous or young-hearted, the area is
brimming with amusement centers that include miniature
golf courses, extravagant multi-story go-cart racing tracks,
to all-out theme parks like Silver Dollar City, that even has
its own natural cavern.
Hollister is the only town that touches all three major
lakes in the region. So, if you are tired of shows, or amuse-
ment parks are not your cup of tea, grab a Missouri fishing
license and test your skills, or just take a stroll along the
beautiful banks. And be sure to save a day to drive to Dog-
wood Canyon Nature Park for hiking, or to ride the tram
and enjoy the gorgeous history-laden landscape.
The Branson area offers an abundance of attractions to
meet nearly everyone’s interests, and Turkey Creek RV Vil-
lage provides the perfect hub for your explorations. With
rates among the lowest in the area, 30- and 50-amp sites
and pull-through sites, the park can accommodate your
needs—so what are you waiting for? Oh, and don’t forget
to ask for discounted tickets and coupons at the office.
