Bus Parking

Attached is an aerial view of the Branson Convention Center South Parking Lot.  We recommend that the bus drivers come through the South gate and off-load students at the door.  Then drive around to the Upper Lot where there will be an attendant to assist with parking.

-School Buses will enter the South Parking lot and unload students at the south end of the Convention Center.  They will then proceed on the route following the Yellow Arrow to the Upper Parking Lot (Buses Only).  The sponsor will ask for a “Promo Parking Pass” for their School Bus at the Beta Registration Table.  The bus driver will follow the instructions on the “Promo Parking Pass.”  This will allow parking fees for each bus to be waived from the start of the convention to the end.  Again, the clubs sponsor, representative of the club, or bus driver would be responsible to request the “Promo Parking Pass” from the Beta Registration table.  

Car Parking  

-Parking Garage is Cashless.

–Personal vehicles (Cars, Vans, and SUV’s) parking in the South Lot will pay for parking through a QR Code that will be displayed throughout the parking lot once you enter the gateless entry point. 

– The attached Branson Convention Center Parking Garage is located at South Sycamore and East College Streets, which is owned by the City of Branson and operated by ASM Global; there are 450 spaces available in the Parking Garage at a rate of $15.00 per vehicle, per day. This location accepts Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover.

-The South Parking Lot is located just south of Branson Convention Center on South Sycamore Street; there are 500 spaces available for $10.00 per vehicle, per day. This location accepts Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover.

– Patrons in need of accessible parking spaces may park in designated spots located in the attached Parking Garage which is equipped with an elevator, or the South Parking Lot.

*Concessions: will be open for the duration of conventions, including while sessions are occurring.  

We will be decorating a blank silicon band for a child at a Children’s
