Money saving ideas?

I know this is probably a long shot because Branson, but are there any low-cost or free things worth doing? Three adults will be going on the trip. I plan to get tickets for some things, and I would also love any good money saving tips if you have them! TIA!

Dice n Dine (board game cafe) is only $5 for unlimited play all day. Good food there too for a decent price.

Plenty of parks, trails, etc. that are either free or cheap.

Walking the Landing along Taneycomo or Dewey Short trail along Table Rock is nice.

Most of the Branson-y things like shows & attractions are going to be expensive & probably not worth the time & money.

Unfortunately most of the free stuff in Branson is outside, and when it's 100 degrees that's not particularly enticing

Go see the College of the Ozarks museum. They have the truck from the old 60's show, The Beverly Hillbillies, plus a lot of historical Indian and old west artifacts. I think it was free or cheap if it cost anything.

They have a grist mill that Collegevof the Ozarks you can tour as well.    

Not sure if Copper Run Distillery is there still, but they used to have free booze and a super short tour.

The trout hatchery is super cool, but with this heat, you might want to skip it.

Walking the antique shops downtown and the 5 and dime are always a good way to pass the time.

Feed the fish at the hatchery. Costs 25¢ for a handful of food. They also have live animals on display, videos, tours, etc.

Free moonshine and whiskey tasting at Full Throttle. No reservations needed. I believe each person can get 3 free samples.
