if you love Mexican food, this is the real deal!! It's a small, family owned business, and the food is phenomenal! Pick anything off the menu, it's all gonna be delicious. Go for lunch, they usually close early.

Parks & Nature

it's gorgeous here! take a day, go for some lunch at Big Cedar Lodge- i recommend Devils' Pool Restaurant, and then head over to Dogwood Canyon for the tram ride in the afternoon. It's around $35pp, and worth every penny. Don't forget to make reservations. :)

Everything Else

The campus is beautiful- go have a meal at the Keeter Center just to the right of the campus gates, and check out the gift shop that has goodies made by the students. Once on campus, head on down the hill and turn right at Lake Honor, and another left at the fieldhouse. The museum on campus, the Ralph Foster Museum, houses the original Beverly Hillbillies truck. Curve on around with the road, and check out the gorgeous chapel... you can go inside, the doors are usually unlocked. Once on the side with the bell tower, follow the sidewalk to the backside of the campus and it will lead you to an expansive view of Lake Taneycomo and a little bit of Branson. Enjoy!
