BRANSON, Mo. (Edited Press Release/KY3) – Silver Dollar City announced Thursday its most significant investment in the company's 65-year history.

The company plans to invest $500 million over the next decade. The 1,200-acre project begins with the first theme park resort in the Heartland, which will connect Silver Dollar City and Table Rock Lake.

“This is more than just growth; It’s a new era,” said Brad Thomas, president and CEO of Silver Dollar City. “Over the next decade, we will carefully transform 1,200 acres into an authentic, unique destination in the Ozarks, starting with our first resort. The new resort will combine Silver Dollar City’s spirit of playfulness, discovery, craftsmanship and exploration with everything that makes the heart of the Ozarks so special.”

The 262-room resort is already under construction and is scheduled to open in late 2026. It offers unprecedented views of the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake, as well as unparalleled access to the Silver Dollar City theme park. The new resort will also be a stone's throw from the company's other family attractions, including White Water Water Park, Showboat Dinner Cruises, Pink Jeep Adventure Tours and Silver Dollar City Campground.

“This investment underscores Silver Dollar City’s commitment to tourism and economic growth in the Ozarks and the state of Missouri,” said Missouri Governor Mike Parson. “We are excited that this project will bring thousands of new jobs and millions of new visitors to our great state.”

Thomas indicated there will be further announcements for the 1,200 acres in the next few years.
