Celebration City is a "night-time theme park" located in Branson, Missouri, USA. Celebration City is themed after America in the 20th century, with areas based on Route 66, Small-town America in the 1900s, and a beachside boardwalk in the 1920s. As a "sister park" to Herschend Family Entertainment's Silver Dollar City theme park located nearby, Celebration City is meant to continue the day where Silver Dollar City's 19th century themeing leaves off. Because of this, Celebration City opens in the afternoon and remains open until night, with the day being capped off by a laser and fireworks display.

The park features many rides, shows, and attractions. Celebration City's operating season runs from May until mid-September.

History

Originally the site of Mutton Hollow, a small crafts village with horseback riding and the Harold Bell Wright museum. Later an amusement park named "Branson USA" was opened on the site in 1999, the park struggled in its early years and closed in 2001. Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation purchased the park in 2002 with plans to redevelop and reopen it. Branson USA was reopened as Celebration City in 2003, after being redesigned and expanded.
