Shepherds PumpkinFest — Local services in Branson

We took the whole family. We had all different ages and there was something for everyone. Of course the long waits for the mega slide was the kids least favorite part. I hope Shepherd of the Hills will add another Mega Slide.

We are locals so we will definitely be back and come for all seasons celebration through out the year with family. I would really appreciate a locals discount to be offered.

I would suggest more seating, benches, trash cans and restrooms be added throughout the park. There is lots and lots of walking but not enough seating, benches, trash cans, water fountains and restrooms. Please add some vending machines throughout the park so more drinks and eating options are available.

I think adding name tags for all the animals and a few facts about the goats, rabbits, donkeys etc. would be cute and could be teaching moments with the kids.

I also really enjoyed all the photo props like to giant chair and lots of places to take pictures. I look forward to seeing more added each year.

The hayride was great. Thank you for driving through the amphitheater. It was a great selling point because we are wanting to come and watch a show now. We had no idea there was a outdoor amphitheater.

Could Shepherd of the Hills please add more signs throughout the park for all the things that are offered? There is lots of marketing signs when you first get to Shepherd of the Hills and by the entrance but not much throughout the park.

Overall very satisfied and enjoyed the Pumpkin Fest. I would recommend this and will be returning with the family.

Thank...

A festive fall wonderland—Shepherd’s PumpkinFest in Branson is packed with family fun and unforgettable memories!

We spent a full day at Shepherd’s PumpkinFest in Branson, MO, and it was one of the highlights of our autumn trip. The festival is beautifully set up with a wide variety of activities that kept our kids entertained from start to finish. From the petting zoo—where they got to feed goats and llamas—to the bounce house, hayride, and tube slide, every corner offered something new and exciting.

🎃 The treehouse walk and mini golf course were perfect for a little adventure and friendly competition. There’s even a kid’s corn pit, obstacle course, and pumpkin painting station. The staff were friendly and patient, and the whole area was clean, safe, and well-organized.

🍕 There’s a pizza stand and restaurant nearby, so it’s easy to grab lunch without leaving the fun. We appreciated the shaded seating areas and photo ops scattered throughout the grounds—especially the pumpkin house and scarecrow stations.

📍 After the festival, you can explore other Shepherd of the Hills attractions like the Inspiration Tower, Copperhead Mountain Coaster, or the outdoor drama show. It’s all walkable and makes for a full day of entertainment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Whether you’re local or visiting Branson, PumpkinFest is a must for families looking to celebrate fall with laughter,...

Absolutely AWFUL EXPERIENCE! Not Kid Friendly At AL!, Not Very Many Actual Things To Do! Completely MisAdvertised & they Act like there are Lots of Things for kids to do which there are NOT! Strollers are Super hard to utilize through wood chips, broken up walkway areas, & deep gravel areas where it's Almost Impossible to even get the wheels to turn! The Slides are Dangerous because there are NO PADS at the bottoms of the Slides and there's Actually CONCRETE on Most of the Slides at the bottom, so kids can get easily hurt at the bottom! UNBELIEVABLE how poorly this was set-up! Numerous Areas where kids can fall through, get Seriously Hurt, or even Disappear! Speaking about, The Slide in one area of the park, Make Sure that you go with your kids because there's another way out at the Top where they go through a Maze & can Completely Exit in another Area! The Hay Ride is another Bad Deal because as the driver Moves Along Too Fast in some areas! KIDS could literally Fall Out If you aren't holding on to them, Tightly & Not Much Fun! Absolutely NOT Kid Friendly! That's Exactly why they make YOU sign a Tons of WAIVERS because it's DANGEROUS! Don't Waste your...
