OZARK MOUNTAINS, Mo. (March  3, 2025) —The Citizens of Silver Dollar City are putting on the final touches ahead of opening day on March 13.  America’s #1 Theme Park is preparing for its 65th season with full lineup of award-winning festivals, a new park expansion and new entertainment in the Heart of the Ozarks.

Spring Break at The City is just the start of a season filled with new experiences, familiar favorites and unforgettable fun! The unique rides and attractions immerse you in the 1880s where history comes to life with you at the heart of it including the NEW Fire In The Hole®, the Golden Ticket Winner for Best New Ride—the theme park industry’s highest honor.

Climb aboard the Frisco Steam Train where a scenic ride through the hills turns into a run-in with the pesky Bolin Boys who want your gold!  Tear through the Ozarks on one of many pulse-pounding coasters, including Time Traveler®, the world's fastest, steepest and tallest spinning coaster. Splash down on Mystic River Falls® or go from zero to breathless in just 2.8 seconds on Powder Keg®. For the littlest thrill-seekers, The Fire District and Grand Exposition are jam-packed with playtime perfectly sized for their wild imaginations.

As the trees bloom and flowers pop in the Ozarks, the sounds of mountain music will serenade the City’s stages. Entertainment across the park will have your toes tappin’ and hands clappin,’ including resident favorites Rivertown Ramblers who take you on a musical journey. Plus, don’t miss the magic of Chris Stanley or The Perondi’s Stunt Dog Experience, where high-flyin’ pups raise the “woof” with all sorts of cool canine tricks!

Silver Dollar City is the Home of American Craftsmanship! See sparks fly as master blacksmiths create iron works of art or gaze as glassblowers twist and turn molten glass into heirlooms to last a lifetime. Peek at old-time candy making or marvel at Marvel Cave—Missouri’s deepest cavern! Don’t miss the awe-inspiring formations inside this National Landmark as tours are included with your ticket.

Whether you're hungry for adventure or just plain hungry, The City’s fare will fill you up! From succotash made on five-foot skillets to world-famous pretzel dogs and legendary cinnamon bread, there are savory and sweet treats and stick-to-your-ribs home-cooking.

Journey back to Silver Dollar City throughout the season for more family festivals, including the NEW Spring Exposition, Bluegrass & BBQ, Summer Celebration, Harvest Festival and An Old Time Christmas®. From a NEW drone & fireworks show, to 20,000 glowing pumpkins to over 6.5 million Christmas lights, The City dazzles all year long with memories worth repeating you can only make here.
