About
Branson Mountain Adventure at 935 Historic Hwy 165 offers a mountain coaster experience in the scenic south Branson area near Table Rock Lake and the dam. The attraction is built into the Ozark hillside — riders descend through forested terrain on a fixed rail at rider-controlled speed, with the wooded surroundings and occasional lake glimpses giving the experience a natural backdrop that strip-side attractions can't match.
For families who've already done the Branson Coaster on the main strip and want another run, or for those staying in the south Branson/Table Rock area, this is a natural destination. The two coasters have different track layouts and different settings — comparing them is actually a fun conversation starter for coaster-obsessed kids.
Height requirements apply for solo riding; younger children below the minimum can ride as passengers with an adult driver. Multi-run packages are available and worth buying if your kids are going to want more than one descent, which most do.
A practical caution: the attraction's hours are not reliably published in public databases at the time of this writing. Call the attraction at +1 417-334-7337 or check bransonalpinemountaincoaster. com directly before making the 15-minute drive from the main strip.
The location on Historic Hwy 165 is south of central Branson in a less dense tourist corridor — it's a worthwhile destination when confirmed open, but not a casual drive-by stop.

Why Kids Love It
Branson Mountain Adventure's alpine coaster sends riders down a mountain track at self-controlled speed through forested hillside — the same thrill-on-demand formula as the Branson Coaster but at a different location with its own track layout and views. Older kids who've done the main coasters love comparing the experience; it's the same physical thrill but with different terrain.
