This 40-mile roundtrip journey in vintage cars will teach you the history of the area on Missouri's only scenic railway, the Ozark Zephyr. Lined with Ozark trees, the railway traverses paths inaccessible by driving and features 360-degree views from 150 feet in the air. The near 2 hour ride will go 20 miles before turning around and pass through tunnels and cross bridges and trestles with historic importance to the growth of the area. View the wilderness and foothills from nearly every angle as the narration tells of the traditions and highlights of the railroad's past.
It is recommended to buy tickets in advance, as the first 30 seats go in the first car, the enviable dome car. Huge windows line the cars for optimum viewing, but for a change of scene on the way back, just switch sides and get a whole new ride. Enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks, sky-high on the Branson Scenic Railway.

The food was good, the trip was nice, it was cool and it was comfortable. It was great to see everything as it passed by too. One of the must see things in Branson.
