It’s official: The Great American Wild West Show Coliseum is being built in Branson, Missouri. Ground Breaking Ceremonies for The Great American Wild West Show Coliseum were held Wednesday July 25th in the “new” Canterbury Gardens Development on Gretna Road. Following the Ground Breaking Ceremony a reception was held where the plans for Branson’s newest themed Retail & Entertainment Destination “Canterbury Gardens” were unveiled.
The 18-acre “Wild West Plaza” is being developed by Silver Saddle Productions, Inc. of Branson, Missouri and Springfield, Missouri developer Carleton & Company. "Wild West Plaza" will anchor the Canterbury Gardens Development with The Great American Wild West Show serving as the cornerstone and catalyst of the development.

The Great American Wild West Show is the largest and most celebrated show of it’s kind. From Buffalo Bill’s grand arrival to the ‘star spangled’ grand finale, this non-stop, action-packed show is filled with a grand array of breathtaking daredevil riders, mesmerizing Indian ‘hoop’ dancers, Hollywood horses, Trick ropers and sharpshooters, the Deadwood Stagecoach and many other Western hallmarks. State of the art lighting and musical scores and award winning performers bring to life the very stories and heroes, people and places that shaped the American Wild West.
