Branson Scenic Railway Tour- Unique 2 Hour Trip Through The Ozarks

Branson Scenic Railway Tour - Unique 2 Hour Trip Through The Ozarks
The Branson Scenic Railway departs from its depot in Branson, Missouri for its 2 hour ride through the hills of southern Missouri and into northern Arkansas. With a series of historic rail cars each with their own unique story, riding the Branson Scenic Railways is a step through time to catch unique views of the Ozarks.
Today we are taking a ride on the rails on a chilly day and sharing what the experience of riding the Branson Scenic Railway is really like. From stepping onto the platform and finding our seats, to traversing the darkness of the tunnels and everything in between!! Come ride with us today!!

Great adventure with Momma!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Agreed!! We both really enjoyed the ride and the atmosphere!! We met some really great people along the way also in our car so that was very cool!!

[@ritalyons95]

You and your mom are so fun I love all of your travels I have been seeing

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

We have such a great time!!! I love any opportunity I have to travel with family!!

[@haileyjohnson6406]

That looks like a load of fun. We are in Branson now!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Yay! I hope that you have so much fun and will let me know all of the cool things that you did… I love to hear feedback from the places that people go and if you have any suggestions that I haven’t been to that’s awesome also

[@lnam5026]

We're taking the train ride on Saturday. So excited!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Have fun!

[@timothygreene8671]

Those cars provided excellent views.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Yes we were sooo excited to find out that we were getting to sit in the cars with the upper sections... it was soooo amazing to see in every direction while riding!

[@drkatarinablassik2592]

Your views on this video are extremely relaxing. You should consider making a video available just sharing the views for screen savers. I would place something like this on my office screen to provide something calming. Very nice.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you, I will consider that!!

[@angelalake8049]

I love this! I would enjoy riding and for that price you cannot beat it.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Right!! I agree!!! Defiantly something that if someone wanted to try something new but wasn't sure how they would like it, this Is a great place to start

[@kylegentry762]

Cool views. Looks like you lucked out with those seats.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

we really did.. it made the entire trip even better than we had ever expected!!

[@silviatruet2521]

It isn't letting me like this video but I really liked it! I want to try a train ride one day like this.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I definitely recommend it!!!!

[@michaelbonderton5056]

I caught a ride on this train when I was visiting but my seats were in an interior car and you could not move about very much. I would enjoy sitting in these seats if I visit again. I enjoy trains very much.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Awesome!!! I am sooo glad you visited the train and had that experience!!! I definitely have to recommend the domes.. they were such a unique place to see the world along the ride... and as you know the music playing in the cars really does put the world into a unique perspective!!!!

[@samanthadodd8112]

Hi mom. I didn't know about this train. My mom love this type thing, so I may have to take her up there in a couple months.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Definitely a great bucket list thing that I think you mom would enjoy!!! They have music playing throughout that sets the tone for the ride themed to the time of the trains origins.. they also offer a dining experience for something a little different or you can grab snacks for the trip.

[@rexvanner8105]

It seems that you all had the best seats, judging from other views you shared.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I would have to agree!!

[@paulhowarden2332]

My wife and I have ridden the train during spring and it is wonderful. You covered it well.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the trip on the train and really wanted to share it in hopes that others would also try it out!!

[@angelabennett7537]

Thanks so much for sharing! Great video! Cain't wait to go!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Absolutely welcome!! We had such a great time, it is a unique experience and you will enjoy it!!

[@rrhopewell]

Loved it

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

thank you!!! it was such a great adventure and I most definitely look forward to doing it again in a different season.. or perhaps on a different train!!!

[@zeniadelgado8679]

Really enjoyed this

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I am sooo happy you found the video and enjoyed it!!! It was such a pleasant way to spend time in the Ozarks!

[@retrogamingkings4136]

I have booked a trip on the Branson railway for my family and I for April 18th 2022. I was glad to hear you say that the earlier you book the better the seats are!!!!! Looking forward to it. Great video!!!!!😀👍

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Super fun! I am so glad that you were going to get out and enjoy it! I noticed that your name says retro gaming you might want to also check out the retro mania and also the 80s arcade both of which are super super fun

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Very nice views and great narration. Thanks so much.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you!! This ride was very calming and nice to enjoy!!!

[@jenellebutagio6388]

I would love to do something like this with my mother. Thanks for continuing to share your travels with all of us on the internet.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I definitely recommend it... such a great way to do something fun and different.. the views were great and the experience was amazing!!

[@jenellebutagio6388]

@@BunnyPlaysHere I am looking up information online about where I could find a train ride closer to me. Perhaps we can do that on a weekend.

[@Fit4Expedition]

This looks very scenic and very inexpensive too. Your very fortunate to have that special view.I just came over from Twitter friend.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

It was very special... something I was more than excited to experience and be able to share with not only my mom but everyone watching... the price was the most reasonable of all the trains I have looked into!!

[@creativedesignsources2640]

Very nice way to highlight the ride and focus on the angles. I have watched a couple other creators doing similar videos and no one captured the ride in this manner, most do a POV only.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you.. I like to share the ride how I see it.. and so that isn't always just a traditional pov

[@tiarakannady7222]

Alexa Play "Leavin' on a Midnight Train to Georgia" YES you took us there!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

lol.... love it!! The train was playing songs from the 40s so I was grooving to that.. but I could see your version coming on and me really breaking it down for the moment also...lol. air mic style...lol

[@benjaminbuxton3483]

We took a ride once in Colorado when visiting on a vacation. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Might have to check this one out if we are in that area.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Oh nice!! I really do want to try another now that I have enjoyed this one.. each trip is so different I think the views would be amazing to not only see but share on the channel!!

[@LorE_aka-midwestmemaw8555]

Had to watch this one after seeing the video of your train ride in Colorado! 😍😁

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Such different trains to ride.. which I LOVE!! The contrast between the experiences really tells the tell of when these trains ran, what they did and how vastly different the experiences would have been riding them not only now but then!

[@nomadicmamasan5191]

I took a train ride a couple of years ago in Colorado and really enjoyed it. Haven't spent much time in this part of the US so I will be watching some of your videos to see what might be interesting to visit in the future. I typically spend most of my time on the western portion of the states.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

You would really enjoy this area I think. It is very nice and lush .. not to mention there are several natural regions with forests and also arkansas, just to the south is sooo nice because of all the waterfalls

[@jacobmacdonald5159]

The water views were nice. I would like to see this in spring or early summer.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I definitely want to ride again during another season just to have a contrast between the time and the polar express sounds delightful!! I recommend sitting on the left side when entering from the front because you do have more of those water views

[@LorE_aka-midwestmemaw8555]

So fun! Thanks for another fun virtual experience!! 😍💯

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

So glad you enjoyed this one!! This experience was very unique because of the kind of car we rode in. Great views and with the 40s style music it is truly an experience!! I wish I could have shared the music itself because it really sets the tone!!

[@jenkslagary6804]

I would really enjoy this with my own mother. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you both. I don't know anything about this area at all but the ride was awesome.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

You absolutely should!! I had such a good time with mom on this trip, it was such a unique thing to do.

[@janetlamass4262]

What a treat for you two! Thank you for sharing this wonderful train ride. I would love to also do this or perhaps the Polar Express with my grandkids.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

It really was a treat!! The info provided as you ride along was so great and I wish I could have included everything but the video would have been far longer... I think your grand kiddos would LOVE the Polar Express.. from what we were told it is quite the treat!!

[@janetlamass4262]

@@BunnyPlaysHere I will be looking into this for Christmas sounds wonderful

[@clintoncarlsly6140]

Nice train ride. Would like to see this during spring also.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I hope to return again and do it again.... I will try to share if I do!!

[@deborahmckay146]

I have ridden the smaller train in Texas before but this would be wonderful to do in this style of car. It looks so open.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Yes!! It was such an amazing view.. I was soooo excited when I found out we were getting to sit up there

[@carollewis3912]

Which train in Texas? I have been on the Grapevine, Palestine to Rusk and back (Texas state railroad) and the trains at Six Flags over Texas. We are planning to come to Branson in July 2022 and ride this train.

[@carollewis3912]

@@BunnyPlaysHere What month did y'all ride? You said it was in the 30's.

[@travelbug1697]

Did you know they also have an excellent train in the Smoky Mountains?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I have seen some info about it and it is on my list for a future visit maybe... I love views!!!

[@ajt0319]

How very nice for you and your Mom! Thanks for sharing your train ride with us. Years ago one snowy winter day I rode the train from Portland OR to Bellingham WA, they showed the movie- “Polar Express”. It was quite wonderful ❄️ 🚂 ⛄️.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

That sounds like a lot of fun!!!

[@berniejenkins4751]

You have the most complete coverage of Branson I have found. Really enjoying your page. Glad I found you before planning my trip next month.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you sooo much!! I love Branson and went there as a child so I wanted to make sure when I started my adventure vlogs that I shared it and all the fun things there are to do!!

[@drkatarinablassik2592]

Our family has ridden the Polar Express and it is a wonderfully themed experience. Highly recommended but I do agree that tickets should be purchased well in advance especially for larger families. We really enjoyed the hot chocolate and cookies.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I am looking forward to checking it out hopefully with the family.. I think that would be sooo much fun!!

[@clintoncarlsly6140]

Have you ridden any other scenic railroads?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

not yet.. but after this one I want to sooo badly.. it was amazing!!

[@peggyoconnell4755]

I feel fortunate to be sharing how you view the world through your videos. You notice small things that many times go unnoticed in passing and you highlight them and they are then treasured moments. You have done this all around Branson and it makes me want to revisit places I have been dozens of times before to look at the little things and not pass over them. You are a wonderful storyteller.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you sooo much!! I try to share the big picture made up from a million little things which make it awesome... There is nothing wrong with just vlog styling everything, but I see the world differently and have to slow it down sometime to let the place be the place...

[@OdysseyCamper]

Cool, I did not know about the train. That’s sounds like a good Fall trip!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Definitely!!! It was really nice to see how the water flowed along, and shaped the area, the tunnels and trestles.... a unique experience to say the least!

[@jensendavis2275]

Nice scenic ride. I assume you couldn't have the music because of copyright, but that would have been cool to hear.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

exactly!!! But, the nice thing is for those who go on the ride itself they can have the full experience for the first time :)

[@debbieframpton8981]

Wonderful experience. Would love to do this sometime.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Definitely recommend it!!!

[@sesilygibbons5198]

What a great suggestion for our family. We were at the landing and saw the train but didn’t know enough about it to go. Really enjoyed your video and will definitely look into this for our next trip to Branson. Once again you did not disappoint as our favorite Branson channel!

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Awww thanks... I just try to share all the fun adventures that are out there to do... and along the way I hope it helps others to find adventure for their family also!!! You will have to let me know when you do ride and what you thought!!

[@meadowrat8610]

WOW nice job

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thanks.. it was a great way to see some of the history of this area and have a very unique experience!

[@blakerivas5792]

This was about $30? That isn’t bad. The ones in other places are $50 and up.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Yes!! They do have another ride which is a dinner ride that offers a full meal for a bit more but this is the day trip so very reasonable. They also do have snacks in the concession cart so you can pay for those if you are interested.

[@benjaminbuxton3483]

We paid $125 for our trip in Colorado.

[@malloryjustice139]

Not bad at all!

[@RobbZipp]

I love trains! They are a nice way to see the countryside and so relaxing. I’m also glad to see you and your Mom wear masks. It was just plain rude of those people who didn’t.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

the train was super cool!!

[@martinolloy6100]

This looks like a wonderful scenic ride. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

You are absolutely welcome!! I really enjoyed the ride and had to share it!!! I definitely recommend a trip if you are ever in the area!!

[@aricazeller6973]

Love that you did this with your mom. Such a fun way to see things you otherwise cannot see from the regular roadways. We have taken a train through the Smokies before and it was stunning and untouched.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I would love to eventually do a train ride there also!! I think that would be magical to see the mountains in that way!!!

[@lynnmichaels4040]

Your playlist for this area is more than I ever could have dreamed of finding. I haven't been through this area in some time but I see I have a lot of catching up to do by your videos. I am so glad I found your channel looking for something else, because it led me to all of these great videos on your Branson list also.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I am soooo glad!!! I love the area so I like to share as much as I can of it because it has so many fond memories for me and my family!!!

[@vanmanjohnny966]

I'm really into your videos. You do a great job with letting us all be a part like we are there. You have convinced me that Branson might be a place for me, never been but with all the things you show you make it look real inviting.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

YESSSS!! Branson is a really fun place. I have been going there since I was a child so I really wanted to make sure it has the credit it was due through my videos. Share a piece of the world I enjoy so much there.

[@travelintaylors7137]

Your video was just suggested when we were looking into Branson. What a great thing to do as a family! We are the Travelin' Taylors, a family of 5 that took advantage of the pandemic and started to pursue a traveling lifestyle where we homeschool our kids and travel in a A Class RV. We enjoy going places that have a lot of things for the family to do, but typically look for places which we can use as a part of the curriculum also to help with what we refer to as first hand education. The train looks like a perfect fit for our kids both for fun and education. Really enjoyed this. Any other suggestions in the Branson area?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Welcome to the channel!!! You sound like my kind of family as we enjoy the endless pursuit of knowledge. I love finding unique places and then telling the stories of the locations. In addition I really enjoy finding places which expand my thinking through education. I share new adventure videos every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and focus more on my van life every Saturday.

[@tinishabrown5852]

This was such a nice ride with your mother. Thanks for letting us into your world again and sharing something like this. I personally have never been on a train, but after seeing this would be very interested in finding one near me to ride.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I most certainly agree you should try one!!! I think you would really enjoy it!!!

[@Flyfisher63]

Planning to visit Branson, Check out Fairway on the Rocks, sleeps 8 and 2 miles from Silver Dollar City. On Airbnb and VRBO.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Nice!!! Last time we took a family trip we used VRBO also to find a nice condo that would fit us all including my little dog!! He got to make the trip thanks to having a nice climate controlled place and it was so great!!

[@travelbug1697]

I never thought about this until seeing this video but instead of trashing my masks I can wear them in winter as face shields to keep warm instead of just a scarf.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

lol... yes.. they do keep me warm.. I never minded wearing them because I usually am cold...lol

[@peggyoconnell4755]

Hands down the best video I have seen about the scenic railway. I have ridden it several times and it never fails to disappoint. You really were fortunate to have the dome seats, they are the best in my opinion. If you are able you must do the Polar Express it is a treat.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thank you!! I am hoping to make it back for Christmas!!

[@martinrodriguez2174]

Hella fun! I recognized a lady i know from monett mo lol. "Erika"

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Very cool!!! I always love when people find people they know!!! lol... it is such a small world!!

[@ThePainWhisperer]

Why would someone do a thumbs down on this video???

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

It happens... no sweat either way... lol... perhaps they didn't like the season I filmed it even... no telling..

[@vincentvillanueva3778]

Ive never ridden a train or a subway before

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Well I highly recommend you try it!! I looved the train ride!!

[@brittanylowell6139]

If booking a train ride do they have all the seats together or do you have to manually select seats together.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

We booked tickets and it asked for how many were in our party. They did the rest from there.

[@okieadventures3785]

Would do anything for temps to be cooler right now.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

lol.. right... I am going to be running to the cooler weather starting tomorrow... been way to hot

[@bigredhillbilly8466]

Kids like trains, wife is afraid of them, we haven't done this because of that.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

you should take the kiddos and let the wife do a girls day at the landing :)

[@awesomesauce8173]

Supposed to be doing this tomorrow, but since it is going to be raining I don't know if it will be as good as your trip when it comes to being able to see. I saw you have more Branson videos, are you from here?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I think the awesome thing about the train is no matter the weather it is an experience that is amazing to enjoy!!

[@travelbug1697]

I want to ride.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I would recommend you do if you are ever in Branson...such a great ride, the info they give you throughout is awesome and the music is amazing if you like the 40s :)

[@jazminemendoza6420]

You always are doing the coolest things. I would love to know how you make it all happen. Care to share? I am a MUA (Make up artist) who is trying to get into traveling to do make up for shoots and such so it would be great to know how you find places, what makes you pick the locations you are going to overall and how you keep it all organized.

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

I usually find a few things I am interested in within an area and try to make an adventure of it. Or I pick a place I would like to go and let the road take me to all the places along the way that make it unique... that is my favorite way to travel. I watch my budget but don't get so stingy that I talk myself out of fun.

[@joshtravels5175]

2 Hours for $30 that is a lot less than the ones I have seen in Colorado or Tennessee

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

That is what I thought... I had not ridden for a while because I assumed the price was similar to those trains.. however when we looked I was so excited to know it was not and we had a wonderful trip!

[@lynnmichaels4040]

Have you ridden a train anywhere else?

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

no but after this I want to!!!

[@craigkosters716]

Did they talk about train robbery's back in the day around Missouri?

[@jsmith198095]

2 hrs???? How much per person??

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

It was about $30 each after tax. It was awesome!!!

[@nebbarnes3404]

YOUR. MOMS GLASSES ARE FOGGING UP BECAUSE OF THE MASK! NOT. the temperature outside. lol

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

What we are not going to do is talk about masking. It is a personal choice to wear or not wear masks and I understand that your point of view is that however on my channel we don’t even talk about Covid so let’s leave that alone because it is what it is.
