Silver Dollar City Attractions Reviews

Unorganized and extreme long lines - like three hours and app times are not accurate so you think you are going to wait 20 minutes and you wait two hours. They cater to their “trailblazers” which cost extra but they don’t tell you they may be sold out. We were planning to buy them and told to get them inside after purchasing general admission tickets. But when we got inside they were sold out. We’ve been to a lot of amusement parks (including this one in the past) but I think we are giving up after going on two rides in four hours - not counting the 1.5 hours just to drive the final two miles to the park. Recommend skipping this.

I used the Silver Dollar City mobile app to order food during my visit, but I was charged eight times for an order I never received. When I went to Guest Services, I was assured the money would be refunded after the park closed for the day. It’s now been over 48 hours, and I still haven’t seen the refund.

This experience has been extremely frustrating. SilverDollarCityAttractions is convenient for ordering, but issues like this make it unreliable and stressful. If the park can’t ensure accurate charges and timely refunds, I cannot recommend using SilverDollarCityAttractions for payments.

I hope the developers address this issue and improve SilverDollarCityAttractions ’s payment system. Until then, use cash or a card at the park to avoid potential headaches.

While I had decent signal strength my cell provider couldn’t keep up, I’ll assume congested network however while silver dollar city claims they have free WiFi it’s coverage was worse then my cell service so SilverDollarCityAttractions proved completely useless. One of the few times it worked I was directed to the wrong theatre for a performance I wanted to see. Made me 10 min late and couldn’t get in. A group of people and I were just standing there confused and the only employee we could find could only tell us there were no performances scheduled at this venue today, wasn’t helpful at all.

The biggest thing missing is the ability to search. Unfortunately the only way to find what you’re looking for, is to scroll through the list or pan around the map tapping on things.

If you’re not sure about the name of something, but you know it’s a coaster, it would be nice to type coaster, or hot chocolate.

The filters do help alleviate the missing search function however it’s still more cumbersome than it needs to be.

We went to Blue grass & BBQ And we were NOT impressed at all with the choices of the Blue Grass bands/shows, you should have BlueGrass performers in the street even. and we were definitely NOT Impressed with the choices of BBQ places to eat at. We are originally from the Kansas City area and We are used to several choices of places to eat BBQ. We have eaten at Rivertown Smokehouse last year and was not impressed with the BBQ brisket, the pulled pork was just okay. We understand there used to be a place (don’t know the name ) where you could go to different vendors and get your choice of BBQ, but I guess SDC does NOT have that anymore. If you’re going to have BLUEGRASS & BBQ, Make it a good variety! Don’t know if we will spend the money for season passes anymore if this is the best SDC Can offer!!

SilverDollarCityAttractions is useful but the wait times are all over the place. The “get directions”is good to help navigate, but if you are trying to plan by using wait times you will be disappointed and frustrated. It’s better to leave it off SilverDollarCityAttractions if it’s not accurate. When SilverDollarCityAttractions tells you no wait time or the ride is just “open” you may arrive to a hour long wait or longer. A lot of guest see the same low wait time on SilverDollarCityAttractions and get bad information and go to the same attraction causing more congestion.

SilverDollarCityAttractions is something I use Every visit but the only thing I have a complaint about is the maps they are quite hard to navigate and they often reculate while in use but other than that SilverDollarCityAttractions is very helpful to use when finding ride times and if rides are closed or not so I highly recommend SilverDollarCityAttractions.

SilverDollarCityAttractions is nice but has some issues. The height requirements aren’t right - a lot of rides say “48 inch height requirement” but a smaller kid just has to ride with a parent. Wait times are not always up to date. You can’t filter trail markers (ie, wheelchair vs non wheelchair routes) so those icons clutter up the map and you can’t see the paths through the central areas. Pay to play carnival games have the same icon as rides.

Pluses: “get directions” works really well. App was handy to tell which rides were closed for weather. Glad they added a search.

Id love a better ride filter, since I’ve never been to SDC before it’d be cool for it to quickly show me the rides my (45” tall) six year old will love.

So I use this when I check if some rides are open, or closed, and how long is the wait for the lines. It’s helpful for me, because, I don’t want to walk across the park just to see that the line is huge when I can check and continue on with what I’m doing. I also use for directions, obviously, and sometimes they glitch, which is the only problem with it and that deducts a star (more like half of one) Over all, SilverDollarCityAttractions is really useful. I use it every-time I go.

Me and my wife are not really “app” equipped and talked to Robin——who did an extraordinary job of coaching me with placing my season passes on my phone….she exhibited the most kindness and patience I have ever seen with an “older” person(NOT old just to clearify 😜). My wife and I grew up with 2 things: a red chief tablet and a #2 pencil…..and still don’t breakdown and still work!😆☺️. A toast to the girl called Robin—-may there ever be more….and to come……..

Such a fun family day trip! We have lived in the area for years, SDC has been a staple for summer entertainment. Lots to do especially for the younger kids. We were very disappointed in only one thing this year. Where are the fresh made pork rinds???? It is a low carb snack we always look forward to.

I had some friends visiting from another country. They were really impressed of the quality of the food, the shows, the workers, and the rides. They had the opportunity to be in another amusement parks and said that Silver Dolar City is on of the best. I felt really happy to hear those comments. Keep it all the team from Silver Dolar City you are doing an AWESOMENESS WORK!!!!!!!

My husband and I started coming to Silver Dollar City in the 90s and enjoyed it very much. We mostly bought season passes each year and would come every chance we got. We liked the family atmosphere there and the patriotic atmosphere also. Branson was a safe place to take your family and hasn’t changed in all the time we have been going. My husband passed away 3 years ago but I still try to go there when I can. This year I came with friends who had never been there and they enjoyed it very much and want to go back. I also went with some of my family that had never been. We are looking forward to coming for the Christmas which is one of my favorite times. I would recommend it to anyone as a good family place to come. Vicki Hill

I have been visiting and returning to Silver Dollar City since I was a kid. Now I take my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren! Our family has watched it evolve from a train ride and shoot out to the best park I. The USA!
Always family oriented and beautifully decorated for holidays and seasons.
I enjoy the rides, entertainment, food and decorations just as much as I did when I was a kid!
Thank you for continuing the traditions and quality of life in SDC!!

Silver dollar city is my favorite park. But if you can’t find your way around and don’t know where the food you want is download the silver dollar city app it is SUPER helpful to get around to rides food and MORE you can make a list of the things you wanna do you can add that ride to the list and u can check it off when your done!! and you can see the wait time on the attraction!

We always enjoy a family trip to Branson and SDC/WW are the best. I have taken my children, family and friends regularly for about 30 years. Since I was a child I have enjoyed going to their parks and now it’s an experience I get to share with my kids. Making memories, riding rides, playing games and having fun in a safe environment is important to us. It’s been a wonderful experience to watch the parks grow and evolve over the years while continuing to maintain the core values on which the park was originally built. The parks are amazing spectacles of human engineering combining technology and the old ways of living into a family adventure that always impresses us.

SilverDollarCityAttractions is so nice for knowing the schedule of the park and it is nice potentially knowing how long the wait is for the rides but they’re also not always accurate. I think especially on busy days. It also has a cool feature where you can get directions to rides, restaurants, shops, bathrooms. That helped me a lot this summer with finding the nursing rooms when I was breastfeeding! I would definitely recommend SilverDollarCityAttractions to anyone!

My family and I visit the park often. Absolutely appreciate SilverDollarCityAttractions and the upgrades you’re doing. Keep them coming. The only difference I can think that would help would be more cell access in the park and charging stations for our phones so we can use SilverDollarCityAttractions for the full hours the park is open. This beats using a paper map for sure and the current upgrades just added are great for those with gluten allergies and telling us what times the shows start etc. Keep up the good work.

Your app is fantastic. The wait times were useful and mostly accurate. The directions were great and made the park easier to navigate. I love the accessibility green or red feature but it would be so nice to be able to turn this on or off like so many other features. When it is always on it makes it challenging to see the attractions when I am using the map to navigate. It is a great feature, but would be helpful to have the ability to toggle that off as well.

Unless I missed something, you can’t now look at the calendar for the entire month. You have to click on everyday individually. I don’t like that. I liked it where you could look at an entire month at a time and see which days you were open and which days you weren’t. Days were color coded so you could easily see hours open on that day.
