Local love, big fun! WonderWorks Branson is rolling out the red carpet for locals this month with Local Appreciation Days. Held annually as a way to give back to those who live in Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas, this event provides residents with a chance to score some discounted fun with family and friends at the upside-down house. Local Appreciation Days are running now through September 30, 2026, and locals in surrounding qualifying counties are invited to participate. Neighbors in surrounding states should also mark their calendars for an exclusive Family Fun Day on September 20, 2026, extending that offer to those residents as well as a way to show that they love thy neighbor.
“The local community is the heart of Branson, so we’re excited to celebrate with everyone this month!” said Eric Smith, general manager at WonderWorks Branson. “Local Appreciation Days are a great time to come together, see what’s new, and have some discounted fun in everyone’s favorite upside-down house.”
