Celebration City

Celebration City trip 8/23/08

In my my Silver Dollar City trip report I mentioned that I also went to Celebration City while I was in Branson, MO. For those of you not familiar with the park, it is themed around a 50's city. In some ways it is similar to the city that was in Back to the Future. 1950's era music is piped all throughout the park giving you the feeling that you stepped in to the city during some sort of Summer festival. The park is clean and well landscaped. While SDC is daytime and early evening theme park, Celebration City is exclusively a weekend evening theme park. Their hours are 3PM-10PM Friday and Saturday through October. I assume that there are several reasons for these limited hours. One of which is that it prevents Celebration City from competing directly with SDC.
