"Highly recommend!"
July, 2018 NEW
This was one of our favorite attractions! They started loading on time and it was quick, the boat is beautiful, ALL entertainment was the best we saw in Branson and the food and service was spectacular. I can’t say enough good things. If you’re only going to one show, pick the Branson Belle - you won’t be disappointed.

Tip: You may need to pick your tickets up before you sail, read your purchase carefully. We had a large group - about 25 who all purchased tickets separately and luckily we were seated at 4 tables all near each other. We purchased general admission and you sit on the floor level with the stage. We loved being so close.

"Worth it!!"
June, 2018 NEW
My Grandmother and I really loved the showboat! It was very entertaining! The food was delicious, and the servers were very polite. My grandmother gets “sea sick” on small boats and big boats like this, but she didnt this time! It was definitely worth the money!!

We spent a little more and got tickets to their “captains row” on the second floor with the BEST seats and view on the boat. Worth every penny if you ask me! They give the captains row guests a better menu with a choice of steak, chicken, pork chop or fish. We had the chicken and pork chop. Both yummy and better then expected. They also had a choice of deserts which were great! Good food and good service with a fun family friendly show. What a nice way to spend 2 hours in Branson. Fun town

The Belle was a fun adventure. The staff was very accommodating. My grandson was called up on the stage with the MC/ magician so you know I loved that part. All the entertainment was very good. The food was delish and served in a very timely manner. The only thing I would change would be a longer intermission. I like to enjoy the outside of a boat. But after going to ladies room and shopping a little there was very little time to get back in to enjoy the rest of entertainment. But still a great adventure.

"Second time and still a rewarding experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed July 15, 2018 NEW
Elected to share the Belle experience with our guests and was once again delighted with the experience. Elected to go on a night cruise, ends pretty late if you have youngsters. Felt it was still a great value for the money because you have a quality meal, entertainment, and the river experience. The show epitomizes Branson's core values: Music, Country, God, and family fun. Enjoyed the singers, dancers, and the mc/magician. There's also time built in to enjoy the cruise experience.

This show was awesome! Lively, outstanding performers, very funny and entertaining. The dancers were astonishingly good, adding percussion and athleticism to songs you would not normally associate with tap dancing. Singers were outstandingl. Great choice of songs. Waitstaff were great, and the MC/magician/pickpocket was a hoot. It was fun being on a boat on a beautiful lake.
