The girls-trip version of Branson is a food tour with scenery: trolleys that crawl from dessert to dessert, a burger crawl with singalongs, a butterfly aviary and one very good excuse for a group photo at a dinner show. Seven films build the itinerary.

The Butterfly Palace Branson's Most Serene Stop | Branson, MO | Butterfly Sanctuary

BunnyPlaysHere

A full visitor walk-through of The Butterfly Palace from BunnyPlaysHere — starting with the local tip that wearing red makes butterflies land on you.

Key takeaways
  • Wear red — butterflies are drawn to it and land on visitors
  • The aviary holds free-flying butterflies in a rainforest setting
  • The Palace also keeps other live animals, including a blue-tongued skink

Start on the trolley

Trolley Trips runs themed food tours out of the Duck Tours point on West 76, and the Branson Fam ride two of them. The Super Sweets Tour stacks ice cream, donuts, artisanal cheeses and boba teas across town — with a Celebrity Car Museum stop where the kids meet a talking Mater. The Best Burger Tour hunts Branson's juiciest burgers up to Big D's Barbecue, Texas-style brisket voted the town's best barbecue six years running, guides narrating the town between stops and singalongs included.

The pretty stops

BunnyPlaysHere's Butterfly Palace walk-through carries the local tip — wear red and the butterflies land on you — through the rainforest aviary and its other live exhibits. The Branson Fam's shopping field guide splits the difference between Tanger's anchors and the local boutiques visitors miss, and FindUsHere's New Year's Day at the Landing does Paula Deen's family-style — cheddar garlic biscuits, fried chicken, pot roast — then a walk through the district at local pace.
