Dolly Parton's Stampede: An Entertainment Extravaganza in Branson
Overview
Dolly Parton might hail from the hills of Tennessee, but she has established an entertainment hub at her 35,000-square-foot Branson theater. The show features 32 horses and expert riders performing impressive tricks and jumps, and it's not just about horses. A team of rescue dogs competes in an agility course, winning over the audience’s hearts. Additional acts include pigs, buffalo, and even a dancing chicken. Attendees are treated to a four-course meal during the performance. While regular shows run from late February to mid-October, a special Christmas show is also hosted annually.
Pre-show Activities
If you arrive early, you can take a stroll along the Horse Walk to meet some of the horses that star in the performance. This pre-show activity adds an extra layer of excitement and engagement for visitors, especially younger audience members.
Audience Reviews
Reviewers have praised the show, noting that the animals successfully keep both children and teenagers entertained. Opinions on the food, however, were mixed; while some guests enjoyed their meals, others found the quality to be lacking.
