Get ready for an immersive experience in the heart of the Ozarks! Silver Dollar City, the recently acclaimed top theme park in America, has announced a groundbreaking $500 million expansion plan. This ambitious project, the largest in the park’s 65-year history, will transform the region with new attractions and experiences, including a first-of-its-kind theme park resort.
The expansion encompasses 1,200 acres near Silver Dollar City’s existing location, promising to elevate the Ozarks into a premier destination for families. The cornerstone of this investment is the creation of Silver Dollar City Resort, a luxurious haven that will open its doors in late 2026. This unique resort will seamlessly blend the park’s spirit of playful discovery, craftsmanship, and exploration with the natural beauty of the Ozarks, offering breathtaking views of the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake.
“This is more than just growth—it’s a new era,” stated Silver Dollar City Parks & Resorts President, Brad Thomas. “Over the next decade, we will mindfully transform 1,200 acres into an authentic, only-in-the-Ozarks destination starting with our first resort. The new resort will combine Silver Dollar City’s spirit of playfulness, discovery, craftsmanship and exploration with all that makes The Heart of the Ozarks so special.”
The 262-room resort will be conveniently located near other family attractions, including White Water water park, Showboat Branson Belle, Pink Jeep Adventure Tours, and Silver Dollar City Campground, making it a perfect hub for family vacations. Visitors can expect direct access to Silver Dollar City, allowing them to seamlessly navigate between the resort and the park’s thrilling rides, engaging shows, and captivating crafts demonstrations.
This investment goes beyond entertainment, signifying a commitment to tourism and economic growth in the Ozarks and the state of Missouri. “This investment showcases Silver Dollar City’s commitment to tourism and economic growth in the Ozarks and for the State of Missouri,” said Missouri Governor Mike Parson. “We are excited to see this project bring thousands of new jobs and millions of new visitors to our great state.”
More details about the resort’s features, including guest amenities, exclusive park access, room options, and group event spaces, will be released soon. Stay tuned for exciting updates as this ambitious project takes shape, promising a new era of family fun and adventure in the heart of the Ozarks.
