Ballparks of America in Branson, MO is a unique destination — five 3/4-scale replica MLB stadiums in the Ozarks. Players stay on-site in team housing (similar to Cooperstown Dreams Park), but parents need their own lodging. Branson is a tourist town with hundreds of hotels, so you have plenty of options.

  • Branson's Strip (Highway 76) is hotel central. Dozens of options within a 10-minute drive of the complex.
  • Consider Silver Dollar City combo. Branson's theme park is excellent — worth a day if you have the time.
