Let’s face it: theme park tickets aren’t cheap, especially if you’re trying to bring the whole family.

Branson’s Silver Dollar City is no exception, but there are a few ways to stretch your ticket dollars to be sure you get the best experience at the lowest possible cost.

Here are a few options for finding the best pricing on tickets to Silver Dollar City, known around the globe for its impressive “An Old Time Christmas” celebration.

Single and two-day tickets online

Buying a single-day ticket is overall the most expensive option. Single-day tickets at the gate or online are $85 for adults and $75 for children ages 4-11 (children under 3 are free).

However, A two-day ticket is available for just a bit more — $105 for adults and $95 for children. That equates to $52.50 per day for adults and $47.50 per day for children.

Ticket prices have been increasing throughout the season, so we do recommend purchasing tickets in advance to lock in the current price. Although you’re asked to select a specific date, tickets can actually be used for any operating day that year.

Price Cutter $70 Thursday tickets

This popular promotion has returned for the 2022 Christmas season, although it’s not as good of a deal as we’ve seen in past years. If you’re able to visit on a Thursday (also one of the least busiest day of the week in the park), stop by select Price Cutter locations in Missouri (including Ramey, Country Mart, Summer Fresh, Food Pyramid, King Cash Saver, and Pyramid Express) to purchase discounted SDC tickets for $70 (that’s a $15 savings compared to a $85 single-day ticket).

There are two Country Mart’s (newly rebranded as King Cash Saver) near the park:

• 18128 State Hwy 13, Branson West, Mo.
• 1447 MO-248, Branson, Mo. (Shepard of the Hill Expy)

See a full list of participating Price Cutter locations here. The $70 tickets can be purchased any day, but can only be used on a Thursday the park is open through Dec. 29, 2022. In 2021, the discounted tickets were NOT valid for use on Thanksgiving Day, and it’s likely that will also be true for 2022.

Season pass holders receive a 10% discount on food purchases inside the park and a $5 discount on single-day tickets for others in your party.

You’re not eligible for the upgrade if you currently hold a 2022 season pass, though those passes can also be renewed during your visit or online.
