"Avoid for PumpkinFest"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed October 21, 2024
My family and I visited Shepherd's Adventure Park during its PumpkinFest, and I have to say we were extremely disappointed. Almost every attraction at the park either needed repairs or was extremely worn-down (i.e. the obstacle course) and/or dirty (i.e. the corn pit), and there was not a worker in sight except for those at overpriced food and drink booths and the attractions that cost even more money than the general admission. Speaking of cost, entry fees are absurd at $80 for a family of three, but then most of the fall-related activities your child might like to do in the park, such as pumpkin painting, face painting, etc. will likely cost you another $10-$20 each. (They do offer a slight discount on entry fees if you purchase online, but then charge you a processing fee to make up for the difference.) They even place the restrooms right after the pay booth so anyone with a child who needs to use the restroom must wait to pay before they can use the restroom (and the workers at the booth would not allow my wife and daughter to enter without first paying the entry fees). The mission statement of this organization seems good, but this event makes the organization seem just like many other money-grubbing traps in Branson. My advice is to go somewhere else for your 2024 fall festival activities.

"Chuck Wagon Show and Dinner is a MUST!"

We just returned from the Chuck Wagon Cowboy Show at Shepherd of the Hills. It was WONDERFUL. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the grounds-enjoying the activities and scenery. The meal during the show was delicious, the servers were courteous and professional, and the entertainers were so warm, genuine, and talented. I highly suggest you make this a 'must' for your trip to Branson.

We did the mountain coaster and zip lining. They were both so much fun, and the tour guides for zip lining were so nice and funny.
