Silver Dollar City Spring Exposition

Valley Road transforms into a botanical wonderland when Silver Dollar City’s Spring Exposition unfurls the Parasol Sky: an eye-catching canopy of colorful umbrellas that turns April 2 through May 4 into the park’s most photogenic season. This isn’t just decoration; it’s the centerpiece of a spring celebration that layers limited-time flavors, seasonal shows, and blooming gardens over the park’s already impressive lineup of record-breaking coasters and master craftsmen working at their benches.

Families, couples, and multi-generational groups all find their rhythm here. Grandparents appreciate the craftsmanship demonstrations and shaded strolling paths, parents chase thrills on Time Traveler and Mystic River Falls, and kids bounce between rides and the Firehouse Splash Yard when temperatures climb. Admission varies by date, with midweek visits offering lighter crowds and better value. Purchase tickets online in advance to skip the gate lines and head straight into the park.

Spring weather in the Ozarks runs mild, with highs in the 60s and 70s, though afternoon thunderstorms can roll through. The park stays open in rain, and many shows and attractions operate under cover. Plan to arrive when gates open, typically around 9:30 or 10 AM depending on the day, to maximize your time before crowds peak in the afternoon. Consult Silver Dollar City’s daily calendar for exact hours and special event programming.

Parking is free with shuttle service to the entrance, and the park offers accessible pathways, wheelchair rentals, and rider swap services for families with varying mobility needs. Between sets of coaster runs, refuel at one of the park’s dozen family-friendly restaurants. Don’t miss the cinnamon bread, a Silver Dollar City tradition since the park’s early days. Pair your park visit with a Table Rock Lake stay by booking through Lake.com, where properties range from cozy cabins to sprawling lakefront homes just 15 minutes from Silver Dollar City’s gates. Spend mornings on the water (fishing, paddling, or cruising Table Rock’s 800 miles of shoreline) then shift to park mode for afternoons and evenings filled with rides, shows, and that unmistakable Ozark hospitality.
