Specialty Museums
The TITANIC Museum Attraction offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and immerse yourself in the experience of being aboard the iconic ship. With hundreds of artifacts from the original Titanic, visitors can take a self-guided tour through the hallways, parlors, cabins, and Grand Staircase while learning about the ship's history.
Very nice and educational tour, 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Wear a sweater as Air conditioned. Alot to see and read. On line app to hear narrative on your phone. Also staff explained details. Everyone receives a boarding pass with details of a passenger aboard as first class, second class or third. Memorial wall of those that lived and died. Would recommend seeing.
Kathy G — Google review
Nice museum with lots to read and learn. All of the staff was kind and in character which made it more fun. We spent about an 1.5 hours. There is a free audio tour, chance to dip your hands in frozen water, and climb what the deck felt like as the boat sank. Plenty of photos, videos, and interactive trivia for kids. The price is expensive but its a tourist town, what does everyone expect?
Heather F — Google review
Location and parking are good. There’s a Walgreens across the street if you need it. Complaints Buying your ticket in advance you must wait in the same line as if you hadn’t. The lobby area is super loud and someone shouts instructions every ~ 15-30 mins? Entry doesn’t seem to be staggered and there are far too many people per group to really be able to see anything. Since most people are pretty inconsiderate. Not many staff giving stories/details. The person who takes your souvenir photo takes it before you pose. Doesn’t check it or retake it when your eyes are closed. Pictures are printed and shoved at you for $46 - even when your eyes are closed bc the person taking pics of didn’t tell you or check ? lol. You’re “welcome” to go back and retake but it’s kind of a lot to go back the way you came out. The app is out of order for some exhibits. Also the exhibits have numbers and things that don’t work any longer. Think for the price paid the exhibits could be maintained better. Praise Someone was monitoring and stopping the bottleneckers taking pictures. The Titanic is a very interesting story Dog details are sweet Staff we interacted with outside of the photos was great.

Shi C — Google review
Beautiful, beyond words. We went this week with the whole family and we loved it. The staircase makes you think you're stepping onto your real trip on the Titanic, considering it's a 1x1 scale. Videos and photos aren't allowed on the ground floor, so you won't be able to take home a souvenir of the beautiful model there. The staff is super attentive and well-versed in the history of the place.
Marcell P — Google review
This place was amazing. Prices at the gift shop were a little over priced but overall it was great. My favorite part was when you got to put your hand in the water and feel how cold it was.
Vinnie C — Google review
Really cool place. The staff was super nice. It was neat to get a story line to follow of a real passenger. The listening devices were awkward and hard to follow especially when there are large groups around you.
Dena E — Google review
The museum has lots of artifacts and loads of information covering the history of the Titanic. Unfortunately, our experience seemed rushed. There were a lot of people let in all at once that made us feel like we were holding up others. I personally would have appreciated a guided tour providing tidbits of interesting information rather than having to stop and read about it myself. Unless you have a way to get discounted entrance fees, or if you have a diehard interest in the Titanic, I would not recommend paying full price to see this museum.

Discover the wonders of nature at The Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure, a tropical-themed attraction featuring a butterfly aviary, rainforest discovery center, and mirror maze. Visitors can embark on a self-guided journey through the rainforest to encounter over 1,000 live exotic butterflies from around the world. The experience includes opportunities to hand-feed the butterflies with complimentary nectar flowers and explore educational videos about these beautiful insects.
My wife suggested we come here on our anniversary, and our experience was so good we had to return with our son. The beauty and tranquility of this little gem is breathtaking. They have a hall of mirrors to explore, a small reptile and amphibian room, and a movie theater where you can watch several shows, about the flight of the monarch butterfly, or the conception of the museum and the preservation of many butterfly species. Of course, the best part is the butterfly room, where many different species will land on you and drink from a nectar wand in your hand. You could stay in that room for hours. It is extremely cathartic. When we went this last time there was an old gentleman playing a hammered dulcimer with amazing skill.
Chris S — Google review
We’ve been to Branson for years and never came here to The Butterfly Palace, so we wanted to experience something new! They are going through a renovation and expansion project, so there’s a little construction going on, but it didn’t detract from the experience. The mirror maze was a bit of fun and gave us something extra to do while there. The short 3-D film about the Monarch butterfly was interesting and educational. We stepped into the butterfly aviary and it really was a fun and unique experience. The butterflies definitely interact with you - landing on you, enjoying the nectar from the flower they give you, and fluttering by you throughout. It was unique and we enjoyed the experience, but for what it was it did feel a bit high in cost, and there is a bit of wear and tear on the place, hence the need to renovate. With tax it runs about $35 per person. We paid less than $10 more for much more in depth nature experiences in the area. It was still a good visit and the only place I’ve ever been where butterflies are flying all around you, so it was unique for sure. I recommend buying tickets on site - online there’s a fee, and they can get you a better deal at the door.
Jason W — Google review
The Butterfly Palace was such a fun and unique experience! The mirror maze added a little extra fun for my husband and I, and the 3-D film about Monarch butterflies was interesting and educational. Stepping into the butterfly aviary was magical — the butterflies really interact with you, landing on you and fluttering all around. Highly recommend for a memorable visit!
Stephanie S — Google review
This was such a magical and fun experience for all of us! From the enchanting mirror maze to the breathtaking butterfly atrium, every moment was filled with wonder. We loved learning more about the butterflies we care so much about—especially as we’re building our own monarch waystation. Feeding the butterflies and having them land on us was unforgettable! We enjoyed it so much, we went two days in a row and each visit offered something completely unique. Highly recommend for all ages—it’s both educational and absolutely beautiful!
Courtnie B — Google review
I didn't really wanna go, but my dad wanted to, and my cousins wanted to, so I tagged along. It was pretty fabulous. So many beautiful butterflies, but in addition, there were lizards, chameleons, frogs.And I couldn't tell you what all else, creepy crawly, things that I normally wouldn't like, but they were so stinking cute. I wanted to take a couple home with me.

The Butterfly Pavilion was such a fun and kid-friendly experience! My granddaughter absolutely loved seeing all the butterflies up close, and there were so many hands-on exhibits that kept her entertained. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for families!
John E — Google review
We visited the Butterfly Palace and were very happy with our experience! First, the facility was very clean regardless of the construction going on in their lobby. All of the workers were super friendly! We started with the reptile exhibit, where you can view turtles, tortoises, and different types of lizards. We then moved on to the mirror maze, which was super fun. The 3D butterfly movie was really cool to explain the process of the monarch butterfly's life cycle and migration. We then moved to the butterfly aviary. This aviary has about 2000 butterflies! You can grab a butterfly ID chart, nectar flowers, and even safari hats and binoculars. The scenery in the room was so pretty! You can even see some crystal butterfly wings. Also, your wrist band let's you enter the Butterfly Palace for three days!

Dinner theater

Dolly Parton's Stampede in Branson is a must-see dinner attraction that combines thrilling horse stunts, musical performances, and special effects with a delicious home-cooked meal. This world-renowned event offers an over-the-top experience featuring high-speed horse stunts, theatrical numbers, acrobatics, and a four-course meal. It's the perfect blend of dinner and entertainment Dolly-style.
Worth the money. Great show! The good was about what you'd expect for having that many people to feed. About a 3 on scale of 1-5. I loved the family friendly atmosphere. The preshow was good too. They have a good gift shop and fair prices. We liked the Christian atmosphere!
Dema H — Google review
Spectacular performers, delicious and filling meal, with attentive wait staff. Take cash to tip your wait staff, the work their butts off. TIP: don't waste money for pre show drinks and snacks you will ruin your appetite. They offer folks already at each seat. PHOTOS $38-50. FLAGS $5, DOLLY PARTON MUGS $10. We arrived 1.5 hours early got good parking spot and had time to see the horses in their corrals, pick up tickets and walk thir gift shop. Purses and bags not a problem. Take sweater or sweatshirt esp for kids it's cold in there.
Monica K — Google review
Our experience at the event over the recent Columbus Day weekend was highly positive. The host's engagement and the overall atmosphere significantly enhanced the enjoyment of the show. Key attractions, such as the butterfly show featuring horses, the North versus South competition, and the pig race, were particularly well-executed. While the main course was satisfactory and could benefit from further refinement, the desserts were exceptional. Vegetarian options were limited, however, the service provided was commendable. The staff demonstrated excellent efficiency in serving a large crowd, and the service quality was consistently high.
Uday G — Google review
I had the pleasure of attending Dolly Parton’s Stampede and it was an evening full of excitement, flair, and flavor. The show features skilled trick riders, gorgeous horses, aerial performances, and plenty of audience interaction that kept everyone engaged from start to finish.  The dinner is a hearty four-course feast the rotisserie chicken stood out as a highlight and portions are generous. The service was timely, and they worked hard to keep everyone’s drinks and plates moving.  That said, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. Seating is quite tight, and we felt a bit cramped at our table. In a few seats, you may be close to where the horses enter, which adds to the excitement but can affect visibility or comfort.  Overall, if you’re looking for an entertaining night out full of spectacle, animals, music, and a big southern-style meal, Dolly Parton’s Stampede delivers.

Fabulous family show with amazing food. We arrived a bit after 5 for the 5.30 show. We did the premium seats and so were in the second row and they were perfect! Food was delicious; creamy mushroom soup, a biscuit, a whole mini chicken!, pulled pork, corn on the cob, mashed potato and a choice of dessert (I had apple turnover, it was yum!). My 4yo was amazed by his chicken and picking it apart kept him busy while he watched. Drinks were constantly being refilled. There were condiments and napkins in front of us and they provided a hot towel to wipe our chickeny fingers after. The whole thing was very efficient and well run. Show was fun, the kids loved it. I especially loved the horses in butterfly wings. Would go again if we're ever back in Branson!
Jess R — Google review
I didn't know what to expect as it was my first time visiting. The show is high energy with a ton of crowd participation. Definitely for all ages as the horse entertainers are top notch. The lead presenter was very entertaining. OMG the FOOD. It kept coming, coming and coming. The soup was tasty. The chicken hit the spot 😋 👌. The pork was ok a bit dry. The fix-in were delicious and the apple turn over did the trick. Great time family fun.

We had a wonderful time at the show last night (6/16), we debated going but this was worth it. We did VIP which was nice but not necessary, all the seats in the arena were great. Everyone was very friendly, service was phenomenal. Bring cash to tip servers, we never carry cash and there wasn't a check at the end for me to add a tip to, I feel horrible that I had nothing to leave our server, she was so wonderful!

Fritz's Adventure is an exhilarating indoor park that offers a wide range of activities for the whole family. Spanning 80,000 square feet across three stories, this dynamic attraction brings outdoor adventure challenges into an indoor setting. Visitors can enjoy climbing towering rock walls, navigating multi-story ropes courses, and exploring underground tunnels. The park also features suspended bridges, urban brick buildings for scaling, and a life-size water tower with multiple slides.
We had a great time here! All five of my kids, from aged 6 to 13, loved every minute of it. We ended up staying way longer than we expected. And we were able to get food for lunch, the food was actually pretty good and reasonably priced. We expect to spend a lot at places like this, but I thought the prices were more reasonable than some attraction places. The facility was really clean and the staff was great. Also, two of our children were able to get in free since they were adopted through foster care. Such a wonderful bonus and I love that they do this for adopted children! Both of them felt a little special that day. Since we stayed so long, my husband and I even were able to grab a beer while the kids played. And I spent 15 mins in one of those massage chairs. Overall, it was a lot of fun and a great way to spend a rainy day on our vacation in Branson.

Saying we had a blast is an understatement! The associates were friendly and knowledgeable. Check-in was easy. My kids played for hours! Their favorite attraction was going through the underground tunnels. My husband and I really enjoyed the Sky Ropes! The zip line in the ropes course was the cherry on top. So glad we visited and we’ll definitely be back!

We visited Fritz’s Adventure Park after a recommendation from a friend, and I’m so glad we did! My kids are 12, 17, and 19, and it was a perfect fit for the whole family. The ropes course was definitely a highlight — we all had a blast, and I even went back for a second round! The atmosphere was energetic and fun, and everything felt well-organized and safe. While we didn’t try the food, the pizza and giant soft pretzels at the café looked amazing (we’ll definitely plan to eat there next time). Highly recommend if you’re looking for an activity that works for all ages!

We went to Fritz's Adventure for my son's 6th birthday. The whole day was a wonderful adventure. Everyone there was friendly, and the kids enjoyed all the challenges. Everything from the tunnels to the airplane, from the warped wall to the laser room, and the ropes course were all great. It's hard to find an activity the whole family can do together that doesn't include a screen, but this is it!

A great adventure area for kids. Kids upto 4 years are free. There are activities for all small and big kids. My kid, who is 4, enjoyed a lot of actions. She ran through most of the attractions that met her height limits. She entered a few of rope and harness adventures, crawled through a lot of ropes, caves and slides. A great place to gift for your kid, especially who love adventures indoor.

We ended up getting free tickets from listening to a seminar, and they were for discover, which was just for the Regular play area that is unharnessed attractions. We spent almost 4 hours there doing just that. The kids ranging from 10 to 17 had a blast and the parents did too. The restaurant food was great and I liked that we could take a break to eat a BBQ chicken pizza right there and go back to fun.
Samantha Z — Google review
Awesome place for kids and families. (ages 8-16 probably the sweet spot but our 5 and 18 year olds also had fun). If you’re adventurous, get the All Access pass and do the treetops. Lots to do - easily takes 4-6 hours if you get the all access pass and do all the activities and zip lines. If you only have a couple hours to kill and/or smaller kids, then the standard pass still has access to jungle gyms, warp walls, and tunnels. During busy times (weekends), expect to wait a bit in lines checking in, at the treetops, and at the concessions.
Matt B — Google review
The kids had a decent time playing. It is short staffed so plan on lengthy waits in some areas. The course took 30-45 minutes to get on and off as only one employee manning it. The food also takes quite a while ( A pretzel took over 10 minutes). I personally think its silly one parent has to be on ground level with children under 9 so we had to buy a pass for me just so my husband and I didnt have to separate as we observed.

Wow, this lake is beautiful!! We loved exploring all of the forks and coves. It’s a bit busier in the wider sections of the lake, but it’s easy to find quiet corners for swimming. Perfect lake for boating and tubing!

What.a.trip!!! This was one of the best vacations I have ever had (and I go on a LOT of vacations!) Maybe it was the lake, maybe it was the company but I'm guessing it was a little of both. The lake was so big we never covered the whole thing after being there for an entire week! The water was perfect and smooth - just right for water sports. The sunsets we're to die for and the weather was perfect (we went in August). I hope we are lucky enough to experience it again with the same amazing crew!

Pretty place for boating, jet ski, and water sports. Lots of coves to pull into to drop anchor and swim. We spent our time on the east side of the lake around Indian Point, Kimberling City, etc. Water can get choppy out in the more open areas with the wind, but coves are calmer. Weather and water temp were still great in late Sept.

The Showboat Branson Belle is a nostalgic riverboat experience that offers scenic cruises, live entertainment, and a three-course meal on the picturesque Table Rock Lake. Modeled after historic paddleboats, this iconic attraction in Branson, Missouri provides an immersive journey back to the 1880s with its classic charm and modern amenities.
This was a fun experience. The show was great. They made us laugh the whole time they had a band. As for our waiter we could’ve had better. He did forget a lot. We seen other waitresses and waiters doing a great job. The food was ok but we had regular tickets and if you can get VIP tickets, I think you get better food. We seen fireworks. I think this is something that everyone should visit. Make sure you buy your tickets ahead of time. It does sell out fast.

The show was well worth the money. The entertainers were very good!! The amount of time they allow you to go on the decks to view the lake during the break was about right. They were VERY organized with the transitions and the food was hot. On a scale between 1-5, the food was about a 3 and what I expected for that large number of people being fed at the same time.

The Showboat Branson Belle was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Branson. It’s a unique combination of a cruise, dinner, and live entertainment that’s perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends. Highlights: Top-notch entertainment: The singers, dancers, comedian/magician, and host kept the show fun, engaging, and full of energy. Beautiful boat and scenery: The classic riverboat design and the views of Table Rock Lake make the whole experience even more special. Dinner service: The three-course meal is simple but tasty, and the staff does a great job serving so many guests efficiently. Great organization and service: Boarding and seating were well managed, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout. Fun for all ages: They offer different themed shows, from family-friendly options to more general performances, so there’s something for everyone. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience that combines sightseeing, good food, and great entertainment in one unforgettable evening. Highly recommend!

The food was so so. Really liked the roast and potatoes. The ooey gooey cake was more ooey than gooey. Couldn't taste the strawberry and was pretty dry. The boat was beautiful, the show nice, and the view was absolutely lovely. I loved watching the guy Josh dance, he was very talented.

I loved this experience!! We went on the Showboat Branson Belle for my birthday and I ensured that I bought our tickets 3 months ahead since seats were placed in the order of purchase. We ended up in second row from the stage. Check-in was a breeze. You go through a metal detector and they scan your tickets either from paper or your phone. They scan the premium tickets first and then allow general admission. The Showboat is highly maintained and looks so gorgeous! Our server at dinner got our table's drink orders and explained the fixed menu. The food was plentiful and delicious. The musicians play during dinner and then there's a break between dinner and dessert to clean up. During the break, you can walk up to the decks and see the lake and landscape. It's so gorgeous but we only stayed on deck for about 15 minutes before heading in since it was just so hot outside even in the shade. Dessert was delicious and the musicians play until we get back to the landing and disembark.

Mom and I had a great time. The food was great and the entertainment was amazing. Mom was in a wheelchair and it was very easy to get around with her. One of the waitors was leaving at the same time we were and he took her up the ramp back to the dock for me. I totally appreciated that. Everything and everyone was great!

Great experience. Christopher James (comedian/magician) was great and an excellent emcee. The performers and band were top notch. I highly recommend the Captain's meal. It was a higher priced but worth it. The meal was fantastic and the ribeye was cooked perfectly. A shout out to our server too. I forget her name sadly but she was outstanding.

Food was great. Above average and honestly some of the best that was had on my trip. The show on the other hand, was highschool musical for the old and young. The intermission with the band on top deck was great, best entertainment on the boat, only to be bested by maybe having a drink in my hand

Everyone was so accommodating and awesome! Thank you Laura, Miranda, and Corey for the amazing experience! In addition to the experience, you would also be supporting a great organization that is trying to help save critically endangered species. So come get a great experience and support a fantastic cause!

We had a great time! Spent a couple of hours exploring and loved seeing so many animals with unique personalities. My daughters especially enjoyed the mini ponies and the drive-through safari—lots of animals came right up to the car looking for food (sold separately). Early in our visit, rain caused a tree branch to fall, and it was really cool to watch all the deer run over excitedly to eat the fresh greenery—there hadn’t been any in their enclosure before. My only wish is that the petting zoo areas had more natural greenery like that. Overall, a fun and worthwhile visit with the basic package!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Ultimate Excursion. Our excursion guide, Laura, did a fantastic job!! We had so much fun with her. We never felt rushed were able to truly enjoy our experience. She even adjusted our original plan to allow us plenty of time to enjoy our personal encounters and the VIP experience. Our VIP host, Peyton, was also great. We enjoyed that hands on experience as well. I would highly recommend taking the time to visit the Promised Land Zoo and if possible upgrade to the ultimate experience. It truly was worth every penny. Thanks again Laura for a great day!! Bella would say it was the highlight of our trip.

We decided to visit the Promised Land Zoo despite all the negative reviews. We did the basic admission and purchased the $10 cup of feed. The animals were all awake and on display. We got to see the baby joeys through the window and enjoyed the walk through the park. We fed the parakeets, kangaroos, goats, alpacas, camels, cows and so much more. It is very shaded which was nice. There are plenty of places to sit and rest while seeing the animals. Yes it is hilly but you’re in the hills of Missouri. The drive through was pretty cool. Got to see a lot of emus and alpacas. All the animals looked very well taken care of and the staff we did interact with were very helpful and knowledgeable of the animals they cared for. Definitely a positive experience.

We had the best time at the Branson Promised Land Zoo!! The VIP+ Experience is so worth the extra. We were able to interact with several animals and birds. Blake was an awesome host explaining the differences and details of the animals we were interacting with. We enjoyed the petting zoo, being able to walk and feed so many small animals. Then we went through the safari portion with full cups of food. So many different interactions and laughs made the trip a memory we will never forget.

This was a one-of-a-kind experience. There were lots of animals to view in their habitats as we walked around but also a great experience as we drove through different habitats in our car. Our son loved being able to feed most of the animals by hand. It was refreshing to see Scripture everywhere as well!

We saw their website and purchased the ultimate excursion. Stop by Branson.com and the made us feel stupid for buying the tickets and called it nothing by a glorified farm or petting zoo. They bad mouthed this place bad. But we paid so we showed up. We were greeted by very happy and friendly employees. We first walk around their walk about area which we were able to get close enough to appreciate the size and magnificent each animal is. We then went with a large group behind the scenes into a small room where we learned a lot about kangaroos, prierire dogs and a python. We then were taken on a 2 hour tour of the back drive through area where we were able to get up close and personal with several wild animal and Katlin our guide was so knowledgeable about all the animals. You can tell the animals here are very well taken care of and loved. We then went in and saw their petting zoo are and their indoor area with mixed mammals. We have our in counter with a cerival cat which was one of the most amazing experience of my life we then went out side and we all got to feed the hyenas omg the noises they make is incredible. We then went back to the start and were able to get in with the brown lemurs they actually lock you all over and crawl all over you. This place is so magical it bet our day at Silver Dollar City by a long shot!!!! If I have learned a lesson don’t let another Business change your mind Branson.com has no clue what they are talking about please give this place a chance you will not be disappointed!!!!!

Step aboard the Branson Scenic Railway for a nostalgic journey through the picturesque Ozarks. Departing from downtown, this vintage passenger train takes you on a 40-mile round-trip adventure through stunning landscapes, including lakes, rivers, forests, and hillsides. Choose between the northern route, passing by Galena and the James River Valley in Missouri, or the southern route crossing the Barren Fork Trestle into northwest Arkansas. The railway also hosts special events like the Polar Express during winter.
This was a very fun time! I was able to get in the train just fine on my transport chair although the entrance into the car as a pretty close squeeze, I don’t think an extra large wheelchair would fit through. We did the dining edition of ride and had tickets for the “silver island”. This is the car that doesn’t require stairs to get to. If you can’t climb stairs or need extra room to move around, the bathroom will not be a good option for you. It’s smaller than an airplane bathroom. The food was pretty good, started off with a salad, then the main course. Our group of 4 all got the chicken. It was pretty decent. I think all of our favorite course was dessert 😂 we had a 2 layer cake, a chocolate layer and a vanilla layer. The train ride itself was enjoyable, it was cool to see the rolling hills, beautiful greenery, and rivers. The car did away quite a bit and I had to hold onto the table for most of it (which made eating kind of a challenge 😂) but overall the 4 of us loved it. Would recommend either the scenic car or the dining car. Ride did last about 2 hours total. The staff was very nice and friendly and the service was very nice!

Never having ridden on a train before this was a great experience. The views are mostly woods but every once in a while you will get some beautiful scenery. The highlight was Liam, the narrator for the tour. His voice is so soothing and easy to listen to. All the staff were very gracious and friendly. I highly recommend this excursion and there are many times to choose from. We took the 9:30 am tour.

I've been wanting to take this ride for years and was very excited that we got tickets for the Silver Terrace dome car. When we got on the car, every seat had iced tea and water and each glass had a lemon in it. I hate lemon so that wasn't a good start. It took 20 minutes to get new glasses without lemons in them. Additionally, every table but ours and the one across from us had rolls - we asked for some but they didn't arrive until dinner came out. I got the prime rib and it was not good. It was hammered - it was an unappetizing grey color and as I cut it, it made steak "sawdust" on the plate because it was so dry. I have no idea why the caterer chose to serve prime rib - that's hard to get right in an actual restaurant. The veg mix wasn't the best either. The sauce and horseradish that came with it were quite good. My wife had the baked chicken which came out with very cheap tasting BBQ sauce that was very liquid-smoke heavy. The food was very disappointing. The wait staff, while slow, (they probably have to cover a LOT of tables) was very nice. The evening's entertainer, "Ginger Blue" had a surprisingly rich and smooth voice - she was the highlight of the interior service and I'd have like to heard more from her. The train itself seemed in good condition and was clean. The tracks are another thing though - they need serious maintenance. The train rocked constantly and the rocking became aggressive in several sections. Inside the tunnel was VERY rough. I understand rail maintenance is catastrophically expensive, but a derailment would be worse. I've been on several other trains and none of them had that rough of a ride. Overall I am not motivated to return for another trip. The food needs a major overhaul and the tracks need serious maintenance.

This was cool but NOT WORTH the money I spent for the dinner train. Food was ok I guess not a lot of flavor. When they said scenic it was not that pretty just a bunch of trees nothing I hadn’t seen before. I guess it would be worth the price without the dinner but I spent over $200 for the ride and the dinner and I did end up regretting it! Was 2 hours long it just stopped on a bridge after an hour going one way and just started going back in the opposite direction which when I was riding backwards it made me a little nauseous.

If you want to see some beautiful scenery highly Recommend the Branson scenic Railway trip. We booked seats on the top scenic view car, Very hot during sunny days, so bring a hat. We had nice snacks, water and sodas available. It's about. A 55 minute ride out and the same amount of time coming back. Interesting views. And historic information shared with us. A lot of fun but intended for adults not much for children.

Family friendly. Timely. Safe. The staff was great & helpful. Convenient snacks on board & inexpensive. The gift shop is nice with a good variety to offer. Liam was great and cool to listen to. Overall it’s a pleasant experience to be on a train but you do see a lot of trees and hillside, nothing outrageously scenic (photos included are the most scenic).

On one hand I want to complain and the other I still feel like it's an experience worth experiencing. We had upper deck seats as a family of four. The morning of our trip we get notification we have been relocated and scattered on the bottom deck. Upon our arrival we were advised our seats were not available due to rain leakage. . . . . . .. this makes no sense to me as a man employed in the maintenance sector. Waterproofing caulk is basically pennies on the dollar. With what they charge to sit up top its a great investment. It's flexible and useful on many applications. Sure the cart flexes, but the Waterproofing caulk flexes more. It was still a scenic view, but I got the feeling we weren't valued passengers, but dollar signs and when the lady with the guitar came through it totally broke the "peaceful" scenic ride to me. I don't wanna call it a tourist trap, but it seems thats what Bronson is.

The train ride was a good experience. It could have been a bit shorter but overall I recommend it. The audio could be a bit louder, it was hard to hear about the history over the chatter of folks. The atmosphere was casual, the dinner was all right. I had the chicken, my partner had prime rib. Caesar salad was decent and the vanilla and chocolate cake was tasty.

Amusement park
WonderWorks Branson is a family-friendly indoor amusement park that offers over 100 hands-on exhibits focused on science and technology. Visitors can engage in activities like experiencing zero gravity, lying on a bed of nails, and participating in an astronaut training gyroscope simulation. The museum also features upside-down rooms and a life-size game of Operation. Conveniently located near restaurants and shops, WonderWorks Branson provides an entertaining and educational experience for visitors of all ages.
Our visit to Wonder Works was overall a fun and engaging experience, especially for kids. The hands-on exhibits kept them entertained, and the staff was incredibly eager to help, making the experience even smoother. The interactive approach really makes learning enjoyable, and the exhibits that were operational were more than adequate to keep everyone busy. However, it was hard not to notice that several exhibits were out of order or in need of some tender loving care. A bit of maintenance and updates would really enhance the experience. Despite this, Wonder Works remains a great place for a family outing, especially for children who enjoy exploring and playing while they learn.

Come for the upside-down building, stay because your child has entered emotional freefall. I took my two boys, Caleb (8) and Emmanuel (4), expecting a day of family bonding and hands-on science magic. Instead, I got cardio, glitches, and the kind of existential reflection that only hits you while stuck in the world’s saddest bubble room. The Bubble Room of Broken Dreams We sprinted to the bubble station like it was the main event at a foam rave. Emmanuel was ready—sleeves rolled up, bubble wand in hand, eyes sparkling with joy. And then… nothing. No bubbles. No magic. Just a sad plastic hoop dripping soapy tears of betrayal. Emmanuel looked at me like I had personally lied to him. And just like that, he was done. Clocked out. Checked into Boredom Town. Population: Him. The “Surprise! This Costs Extra” Arcade Okay, so I figure - no problem! Let’s pivot to something fun! We head to the cafeteria area where it’s arcade time… but plot twist: every game is pay-per-play. After already forking over the ticket price, I now had to swipe my card every 3 minutes like I was stuck in a Vegas toddler casino. Caleb was living his best life. Emmanuel? He used all his energy trying to play a racing game with no tokens and then emotionally deflated like the bubble that never was. Glitch City & Laggy Labs We hit the rest of the museum hoping to bounce back. Instead, it felt like we were beta-testing a science fair on dial-up: The sand station was like digging in cat litter with commitment issues. Color-your-own train was so laggy I froze in panic. Not the screen - me. A few hands-on exhibits were either missing parts, not responding, or straight-up judging us with blank screens. I started entertaining myself just to survive. I climbed stuff. I laid on a bed of nails. I spun in a gyroscope while Caleb screamed, “FASTER!” like a tiny personal trainer. I was the only adult breaking a sweat in the name of "science." The Good Stuff (because there was some) Alright, to be fair: The illusion rooms were cool (my brain was like, “Wait, what?!”) Caleb crushed the speed test and earned bragging rights The ropes course looked amazing (but had a height requirement taller than my parenting patience) Final Verdict: WonderWorks Branson is like dating an illusionist. It looks amazing at first… until half the tricks stop working and you’re left explaining to your kid why bubbles are just a theory now. If your child is 7+ and enjoys “pushing buttons that might respond,” they’ll have a blast. If they’re 4, like Emmanuel, you better bring snacks, a backup plan, and possibly a puppet show—because you’re the new entertainment. Still worth going once. Just temper your expectations, stretch before the ropes course, and bring a sense of humor. You’ll need it.

Awesome STEM museum on the strip. Most of the interactive activities are family friendly. The 360 bikes were a blast and the Astronaut Training attraction was fun and not for those with a weak stomach 😬. There are so many great attractions, with several different themed areas. Truly fun for all ages and all three floors are accessible by stairs and elevator. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Multiple things broken. Only a few things worth going for but you better be ready to spend the entire time waiting in line. We were there 3 hours and didn't get to do any of the major stuff. Staff is not very well trained. Watched 2 attendants shut a ride down completely because of an equipment malfunction. One guy didn't seems to care much and walked away. Maintenance showed up and didn't really do anything but look at the restraints. The kids didn't really even enjoy it. Complete waste of money and time.

It was a very good experience at Wonderworks. I was a little doubtful on whether I need to take my 4 year old. But she got enough items in Wonderworks to be happy. There were some interactive activity screens, magic sand, coloring activities etc that she felt very engaging. For small to big kids, it's a paradise. Parents can be engaging with their kids to spend some good time having fun and learning.

We had an excellent experience. We came for our sons birthday today. A random Wednesday, but we were lucky because It wasn't crowded and was very clean. Kids loved everything, 4yo and 8yo. All the rides and stations were open and all the hand sanitizer were full. It was engaging and well worth $40 bucks per adult. We did everything the kids did and had a blast. All the staff were friendly but didn't babysit us either. We will definitely go again.

We visited Branson Landing after spending the day at Silver Dollar City, and it was a really enjoyable part of the trip. The area has a nice riverfront atmosphere, and the layout with shops, restaurants, and walkable space felt much more our style compared to other parts of town. This is also where we found the best food we had in Branson. The fountain show was a surprise highlight, simple but really fun to watch, and it added a unique touch to the experience. We all enjoyed it. It’s a good spot to wind down the day, get a treat, and just take in the scenery. Definitely a place we’d return to when we’re back in Branson.

High-speed thrills and family fun—Track 4 at The Track Family Fun Parks is a Branson favorite! We had an action-packed day at Track 4 in Branson, MO, and it was a hit with everyone in the family—especially our older kid age 8. The park is designed to entertain all age groups, but it really shines for bigger kids who love speed, competition, and variety. 🏎️ The highlight is the Heavy Metal High Rise go-kart track, a multi-story steel and concrete structure that gives kids a real driving experience. Our daughters were thrilled to take the wheel with their dad and race around the spiraling track. It’s fast, safe, and incredibly fun. 💦 There’s also water bumper boats, small kiddie rides, and arcade games for younger children, making it easy to keep everyone engaged. You can choose between buying a wristband for unlimited rides or purchasing individual tickets, which gives flexibility based on your schedule and budget. 🍕 The location is a hub of activity, with nearby restaurants, snack stands, and other attractions within walking distance. The park is clean, well-staffed, and very kid-friendly, with plenty of seating and shaded areas for breaks. 🎉 Whether you're looking for thrills, laughs, or a place to let kids burn off energy, Track 4 delivers a memorable experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A must-visit for families in Branson—especially if your kids are ready to take the wheel and have a blast!

We did the 100ft drop SKYCOASTER and can’t explain the experience in words!!! The prep phase when they lift you up to the 100ft mark was so scary that you would want to abandon the ride and runaway. Once you cross this phase is when the actual horror starts 😂 The plug that holds you to the top is actually under your control and you will be asked to release it. I was so scared I did not let it go the first time. Then on further announcements I had to let it go and man!!!! What an exhilarating drop that was!!! I was literally blanked out for 10 seconds and started shouting throughout the 2 minute monster swing phase 😂. Adventure seekers MUST TRY THIS. Plus do not forget to get the pictures from the team it’s totally worth it!

I’ve been to all of the tracks multiple times. They are a lot of fun. The only complaint is I wish they would crack down on the people that crash into others when the ride ends. Every time we go that seems to get worse. There was one person or one small group that does it every ride so we have had to watch out for these people to avoid going at the same time.

Step into a world of nostalgia at the World's Largest Toy Museum Complex in Branson. Spanning over 30,000 square feet across two buildings, this complex is home to more than a million toys dating back to the 1800s. It features six museums including the National BB Gun Museum and Stearnsy Bear Museum. From classic Barbie dolls and GI Joe action figures to Hot Wheels and Pez dispensers, there's something for everyone to reminisce about their favorite childhood playthings.
This is an amazing museum! My family had so much fun walking through memory lane. All staff were so very nice, and I loved learning the history of their collection. I’d compare it to a nostalgic Mr. Magorium’s wonder emporium. It just takes you back to your childhood! My husband and daughter are avid hotwheels collectors, there are a ton on display and just as many you can buy! Strongly recommend stopping by! The whole walkthrough took about 2.5 to 3 hours! But can go quicker if you don’t stop to reminisce! lol

SUPPORT OUR VETERANS HERE!!Very Fun!! It is a Huge building with such a large collection of toys and other things so interesting to look at that it would be easy to spend all day there. It's good for toddlers too. We took our 3 year old here and she had a blast,we spent 2½ hours there! She really loved the train hanging from the ceiling. And honestly...we started off thinking it was going to be like taking the puppy to the dog park Off the leash for the first time, you hope there's enough healthy distraction to prevent biting strangers and no messes in the floor, and there Was. Plenty of healthy distraction, that is. I highly recommend bringing children, there's toys that Can be played with, climbed on and handled even though most are for the museum display and should be respected as such. The staff is awesome too..calm, cool and collected, smart as well. Thats something that's getting difficult to find in Branson business establishments. Don't forget to go see the lovely lady running the show in the lower half of the building, there's an entirely different museum to see!! Super interesting for those whom like wild west cowboys and indians, trains, soldiers and guns!

Great experience , friendly staff and so much to see. Loved their die-cast collection, we spent over 2 hours here! It is reasonably priced and time well spent!

The lady and man in charge at the front counter were extremely nice and very pleasant! They were honestly the best part! The man running the train was extremely rude and kept replaying a video that kept saying “she’s brain dead” and laughing about it. I am a religious person but I will say all of the Bible’s open everywhere and the small little church didn’t make me nor my wife feel comfortable. It made it seem like the place may be extremely haunted. Sadly I don’t recommend this place. Also they would be so much better off without whatever guy was doing the trains. He honestly made the whole experience terrible.

The Branson Ferris Wheel is a towering 150-foot attraction with 40 gondolas and over 16,000 LED lights that illuminate the night sky. Originally located at Chicago's Navy Pier, it now offers panoramic views of Branson's Entertainment District and surrounding landscape. Visitors can enjoy a unique perspective of the city and its attractions during the day or experience a mesmerizing light show set to music at night.
We Went on the 4th of July & it was perfect! Of course because of the holiday, the line was pretty long but I think we waited maybe 20 minutes. Didn’t bother me. & we got to have fireworks during our ride! You’re even allowed to go twice! They even have a back drop with a camera for a free photo! Such a fun experience!!!

We really enjoyed this with our kids that are younger. It's a good value and fun to get a digital family picture to download. It was cool to see the helicopter tours flying around and learn about the history of this Chicago classic that is now in Branson. Fun for all ages, but aware the hornets that fly around d at the top! The good thing is that the gondolas have plastic walls on most sides to keep them out. Worth going for the views!

A breathtaking ride with panoramic views—Branson Ferris Wheel is a must-do for families! We had a wonderful experience riding the Branson Ferris Wheel, located at The Track Family Fun Parks. It’s not just a ride—it’s a scenic adventure that lifts you high above the city and offers stunning views of the Ozark Mountains, Branson Strip, and surrounding attractions. From the top, you can see the entire layout of Branson, and it’s especially magical during sunset or nighttime when the city lights sparkle below. 🎡 Our kids absolutely loved it! The ride is smooth and gentle, making it perfect for all ages. Our 3- and 8-year-olds were thrilled to be up so high, pointing out landmarks and waving at the people below. The enclosed gondolas feel safe and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. 💡 The Ferris wheel itself is beautifully lit with over 16,000 LED lights that create a dazzling light show every evening. It adds a festive vibe to the whole area and makes for great photo opportunities. 💰 Tickets are reasonably priced, and you can purchase them individually or as part of a combo with other Track attractions. It’s located near restaurants, mini golf, go-karts, and arcades—making it easy to plan a full day of fun. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Whether you’re visiting Branson for the first time or returning with family, the Ferris Wheel offers a peaceful, beautiful moment that’s worth every penny.

Was visiting from STL. Wanted to try places we've never had. My GF questioned me when I mentioned a side chick for dinner. But after I showed her the menu she agreed. Haha. Food was wonderful and portions were big. Street corn, Mac n cheese, and sweet potato fries were amazing. Chicken was some of the best ive ever had!! Highly recommend! The small dark and or small white was enough for us two. Renee the manager was absolutely delightful and very up beat and friendly!! Thank you for the great experience. Scott and Danielle

Very disappointed.. I guess the owners of this ride, have all of the money they need and do not need tourist money anymore. We have been coming to Branson every year for the past 7+ years, the last 4 years the Ferris Wheel has always been my favorite to ride at night, especially when all of the Christmas lights are up in the city. Tonight, my last night in town I was turned away at the ticket counter advising me a grown man, who is almost 40 was not allowed to ride the Ferris wheel by myself? WHAT?? When did this change? I feel like it is a money grab to at least get $30+ per ride. I want to be clear, there were only two other people in line when I got there and the Ferris wheel was otherwise empty. For the past 4 years I have always ridden this ride by myself as my spouse does not do heights.. It has never been a problem until now. In fact, it was exactly 1 year ago today that we were in Branson and I have pictures of me by myself on the ride. It was honestly pretty insulting. For a city who is moving into their slow season, that rely on Tourist from out of town to provide revenue, this is a HUGE mistake. Reading the reviews looks like this has been happening to others as well. I will never support this company again! Based on this experience, I will be looking for other places to also leave reviews - Single travelers beware, Branson Ferris Wheel Owners do not need or want your business!

White Water is a vibrant island-themed water park in Branson, Missouri. Managed by Mary and her sons Jack and Peter, it's part of a multi-million dollar entertainment complex that includes various attractions like rides, shows, dining facilities, and live music performances. The park hosts five themed festivals annually. Visitors can beat the heat at this 13-acre waterpark with activities for all ages.
Really have no complaints. Visited the park for the first time today The park is very clean. The lifeguards all seemed to be taking their jobs seriously. It wasn't too crowded which probably made it better. The lazy river was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be going back.
Sarah B — Google review
Let me first say I had the absolute best time! The lazy river and wave pool were my favorites. There was no wait to get in at 2 pm on a Saturday. The slides took a while to get a tube or a mat, but it was well worth it. The snacks are expensive, so I had a cooler in the car. You can leave and re enter the park if you wish to, but have your ticket with you. Speaking of tickets, it is much cheaper to purchase in advance online. Now, I haven’t been to white water since 2011 and it still looks the exact same. The same paint, the same chairs, the same small bathrooms. I would think you should be updating things during your off season. The plants look fantastic though!

Took the grandkids to White Water for our annual "Cousin Camp". They had a blast. I didn't get many photos unfortunately but they definitely give it a 10/10. They slid on every slide, floated on the lazy river, swam in the wave pool and enjoyed some of the snacks. We brought a few snacks and some water so didn't buy too much. The concrete is very hot so be sure to bring swim shoes/flip flops-you can leave them at the entrance of each slide, they are pretty safe there-ours were. They have life jackets if you need them. Get there early if you want the best parking spots and loungers with shade. They go quickly. We didn't rent a cabana-too expensive. We had to relocate to the shade when we found an open spot with enough loungers. If you've got a young one that you need to keep an eye on, try to get a spot by the kid's area so you can relax while they play. Our youngest had a great time although it took awhile to get the courage for some of the slides in the kiddie area. It's around $50 each to get in. They enjoyed it and we had a great time!

First time here and it was okay. Smaller water park and the lines were long in the afternoon. Barely any seating , highly recommend a locker. They do a $5 deposit and you get it back at the end of the day. Tube slide and drop slides were really fun. Age appropriate facility for everyone.

First time visit , Interesting place, small water park , they check all bags , 1.our food at our first stop was cold and nasty, we then got pizza at a different place which was a lot tastier, dip and dots were good, save ur money cuz there food is kinda gross. Oo I forgot to mention the cookies at our first place was 5 hrs old, very. Disgusting, food wasn’t fresh, and spent 30 for cold food, 2. Long lines on a Saturday ain’t worth it, 3. Lockers are nice but it’s 25 for a locker!! 4. Few of the employees at the food cafes seem like they hate there jobs like kayle, gives attitude and are rude! Save ur money and eat before you come ,food is expensive and cold ,

Great children's water area. Lazy river was one of da best. The slides were also pretty fun. I definitely got some air time. The tubes for the cabanas we nice, but cannot be used on any ride, so would not recommend renting tubes (unless you are only going to be in wave pool or lazy river). Overall: nice quaint water park, but they did give us a rain check due to thunder storms closing the park (see guest relations if this happens to you)

We had a great time. We used our Kansas City GetOut Pass to get free admission. It was super easy, they just scanned the app at the gate. If you ever buy a GetOut Pass, you can use code: Fun4Everyone to get an extra $5 off whatever the current sale price is. We got ours for only $99. We went to SDC yesterday. If we would have bought a 1-day pass for each place, we would have spent a lot more money. So, we saved money on only 2 places and can still go to all the other places on our GetOut Pass.

Nestled below the Table Rock Dam, the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is a year-round attraction offering a self-guided tour of its expansive trout production facility. Covering 211 acres, this conservation center sees over 250,000 visitors annually and plays a crucial role in Missouri's trout-production program. Visitors can learn about the hatchery's role in supplying eggs and fingerlings for grow-out while enjoying activities like fishing and hiking on its scenic trails.
Recommend popping in if you are in the area. The little nature center has some animals and a cool trout aquarium. The staff was very friendly when we came in. The hatchery is huge compared to the ones you find at the trout parks. They have fish food stations where you can get a handful of food for a quarter and the trout go wild for it. I recommend bringing a small cup or something to hold it. Also recommend you toss some to the big trout at the ends of some of the runs. Fun to see lunkers smash the pellets.

5 Stars for Fish, Fun, and Freaky (in the best way possible)! We visited the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery before the renovation, and let’s just say… it was giving vibes of “budget horror movie meets field trip from 1987.” Fast forward to now, and WOW!!! Someone gave this place a serious glow-up! Everything is clean, bright, and actually smells like nature, not like a damp science classroom. The habitats? Immaculate. The reptiles? Living their best lives. I’m pretty sure one turtle winked at me in gratitude. And then… there’s Tiger Lily, a TWO-HEADED SNAKE. That’s right, folks. If you’ve never seen a celebrity reptile, now’s your chance. Tiger Lily is serving double the sass and twice the tongue flicks. She’s the Beyoncé of the hatchery. Even the bathrooms are clean and plentiful, a rare luxury in tourist spots where you usually have to beg a tree for forgiveness. The staff? So friendly I wanted to invite them to Thanksgiving. Honestly, whether you love fish, snakes, or just need a solid bathroom stop with bonus turtles, this place is now a must-do in Branson. Bravo to the team that turned this place from “meh” to “heck yes!”

We ended up arriving in time for a tour at 11am. The guide was super knowledgeable and we had a great time. Exhibits were nice and video was perfect for learning. Kids ages 10-17 enjoyed this experience and we spent 1.5 hours here. Bring quarters to feed the fish! Or they will make change for you!

Nice place to visit and it’s FREE! We watched the movie and found it interesting, especially where they should the fish being spawned. They have s large aquarium with trout in it and there was a volunteer there with lots of information about the process. They offer tours which well through the runs do you can see the trout. You can also buy some food and watch the feeding frenzy. Inside they had several terrariums including one with a two headed snake. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Educational, scenic, and surprisingly fun—Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is a hidden gem for families! We spent a delightful afternoon at the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery in Branson, MO, and it turned out to be one of the most enriching and kid-friendly stops on our trip. Located just below Table Rock Dam, the hatchery offers a peaceful setting with beautiful views of Lake Taneycomo and the surrounding Ozarks. 🐟 The highlight for our kids was feeding the trout—just a few quarters unlock a whole lot of giggles and excitement as the fish splash and swarm. It’s simple, interactive, and a great way to connect kids with nature. The outdoor raceways are easy to walk along, and there’s plenty of space to explore. 🏞️ Inside the Conservation Center, we enjoyed a well-presented educational exhibit on how trout are hatched and raised. The staff were friendly and informative, and the displays were hands-on and engaging. Our daughters loved seeing the live snakes and tortoises, which added a fun surprise to the learning experience. 🎒 The hatchery is free to visit, making it a budget-friendly outing. There are picnic areas, walking trails, and access to the lake for fishing or relaxing. It’s a great spot to combine with a visit to Table Rock Lake or the dam overlook. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A peaceful, educational, and interactive experience that’s perfect for families and nature lovers alike.

You can buy fish food for $0.25 and my kids LOVED it. It is free to get in. You can go see the fish. There is one large tank inside, and about 6 tiny displays of reptiles turtles, etc……also there is a 2 headed snake. That was creepy to see. All in all, This is a must stop while in Branson, especially if you have littles.

Nice exhibits inside the building. Very clean, well kept facilities. Interesting to see the progression of the fish as they grow. (Was concerned we would smell like fish when we left, but that's not the case at all). Friendly staff. We drove over the dam when leaving. Beautiful view. Highly recommend visiting. The whole family enjoyed the visit.

The Branson Boardwalk is a newly developed entertainment complex located on W 76 Country Boulevard, known as the "Highway 76 Strip." The centerpiece of this bustling area is the Aquarium at the Boardwalk, which has been a long-awaited addition to Branson's attractions. This massive aquarium is home to over 250 species of aquatic animals from around the world, including sharks, rays, and sea turtles.
The aquarium is wonderful! Each room is themed and has wonderful music that adds to the experience. The touch pools are great! I touched a shark! Buy tickets online for a discount- we went in the evening and saved a little bit of money.

We unfortunately went in the rain. It was expensive at $35 per adult per event at the door (3 events available). Since we went in the rain, so did everyone else. The staff was rude and very unhappy to be there. They were also pushy and seemed to be mad at us because of it. We bought our $70 worth of tickets at the door and was told we had to wait for 45 minutes to go in. No apparent reason. Her just being a "B" and taking it out on us. She seemed to smile making us wait 45 more minutes. It took us nearly an hour to get to buy the tickets in the first place. We waited in the line to get in anyway. It took nearly 45 minutes. We entered 10 munutes before our ticket time. They also seemed unhappy we didn't take the octopus photo's. Horrible feeling. Embarrassing to us. Bad enough this whole town seems mostly to cater to children. But to have adults treat us this way was so beyond unaccessible. We asked if we could wait some our time in the gift shop and then go in. We have spent money, the "supervisor" who really seemed to hate being there said NO loudly and said she wouldn't allow it because it wasn't policy and we would spend our money on schedule when we went through the exhibit. I enjoyed the experience, because my wife did. If I could get my money and time back, heck YES I would! It was so over run with rude people and out of control children and rude hateful staff, I would DEMAND a refund. We spent our money on their dang schedule. We spent more money on give away junk than we did on admission. I just want my refund on admission!

Beyond The Lens! Branson is a family-friendly "techno-tainment" complex that opened in 2019, offering over 150 interactive exhibits such as virtual reality games, Bigfoot hunt, escape rooms, pop culture trivia, classic arcade games and the thrilling 360 Flip Bumper Cars. Visitors can also opt for the immersive FlyRide experience which takes them on a virtual journey across America using motion seats and sensory cues.
This place was awesome. The staff is why i am giving it 5 stars though! My son got on the ride and wanted off which meant my husband had to get off. They let me husband and my daughter get back on at another time so my husband still go. They were understanding and very nice!. My whole family had a great time.

We got tickets online and we're able to find a promo code for 30% off. The tickets are good all day so you are able to leave and come back which is REALLY nice because you could probably spend all day here if you wanted. This was a super fun experience! They have plenty of photo opportunities and lots of activities to do. Our favorites were the VR (only one was working) and the arcade areas. The escape rooms were down when we went. We also did the fly adventure. It was pretty neat. If you are scared of highs I wouldn't recommend it because while you are safe in the seats, it easily feels like you could fall out (which won't happen). There is a pretty big drop off especially if it's busy enough to be on the top floor. If there are any technical difficulties, they allow you to go again. We started with the Polar Express and it was like you were riding the train. We had technical difficulties so we went on the america one and it was super pretty.

This was a great place to go, the flyride is incredible. I had a great time with my family walking through the whole experience, when you let go of your worry and let yourself be a kid again, then your experience becomes truly magical.

I highly recommend going and if you can't do Beyond the Lense then at least do the Flyride you won't be disappointed!

We had SO much fun here. We were a little skeptical that we would have fun or that that we would spend much time here. We ended spending close to 3 hours there.

We did get our tickets at a discount because they offer a homeschool discounts.

Had a great time going to this there's a lot of things for kids and adults to do especially if you're into video games and virtual reality. They even had old school video game systems like Super Nintendo and Genesis. There were places to dance and photos you can take with your family. I highly suggest to take the fly ride that was an awesome experience. Anyways I suggest you check this place out it was a lot of fun.

Honest review: This place was way more fun than we thought it would be based on the tour site's description! If you like old school games (all sorts) and taking neat selfies, then this place will keep you entertained for a couple of hours. We also did the flight attraction, which was pretty cool, 4d ride style. We DO recommend as a fun, interactive way to escape the outdoor weather.

OK.... eh, my visit was so-so. We did visit on a weekday, a Tuesday. The place WAS very clean and the very limited staff was friendly. Obviously this is a tourist attraction so the prices were way high. BUT, and this was the kicker for us, half the attractions were closed. We didn't know, never saw any clear indicator of this information anywhere, but the 'museum' part closed at 3 and we arrived just before 5. We did one ride on their FlyRide.... which was OK as far as giving you a semi realistic 'flight' across different scenes/ different areas of the world. They have moving seats and even squirt water at you for more realism. We DID expect to be more immersed as in having screens under our feet to more simulate actual flying, but there was just one huge curved screen in front of you. If you are afraid of flying, like I am, then you can look to your side to 'ground yourself' by realizing that you are still very much on seats, contained within a completely closed building. And obviously I cannot comment on the other museum type attractions within. Hopefully we can time another visit properly for that.

The Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson is a must-visit attraction for all ages, featuring over 100 life-size wax figures of famous celebrities from various fields like music, sports, and film. Visitors can take photos with the incredibly realistic wax figures of icons such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, The Beatles, and Lady Gaga. Additionally, the museum offers the thrilling 5D Castle of Chaos experience.
My gosh what a blast this place is!!! Truly enjoyed this and seeing all the wax figures. Some looked absolutely real! Really neat to have them on sets of movies we all liked and play along. Some had props to take photos with also. Total blast! Fun for everyone!

This was a very cool experience. We did the access pass which allowed us to do the wax museum, mirror maze, mini golf, and 5D video game. The wax figures were very well done and most were easy to identify immediately. The mirror maze was fun and fairly easy. The constantly changing lights made it very pretty inside. Overall it was a lot of fun and a great experience.

Most of the figures didn’t really look like who they was supposed to be but it was a cool experience regardless. My favorite was the horror film figures part…..that was way cool. They did have props that you could use to take photos with. That made it more interactive.

The museum features wax figures of celebrities from different eras, and many of them are very well done. What I liked: The atmosphere is entertaining, with detailed sets, lighting, and props that make taking photos a lot of fun. It’s more than just wax figures, the complex also includes a mirror maze and even mini golf, which adds variety to the visit. Staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. What could improve: Lighting in some areas could be better, as shadows make it harder to see details. During peak times, the mirror maze can get crowded. Tips for visiting: Take your time, you’ll enjoy it more if you stop for photos at each display. Consider buying an “all access pass” to enjoy the other attractions in the complex and get better value. Try to go during off-peak hours for fewer crowds. Overall, it’s not a huge museum, but it’s a great stop in Branson if you enjoy celebrity wax figures and interactive attractions.

We had a blast at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson, Missouri! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with vibrant sets and lifelike wax figures that make you feel like you're stepping into a movie scene. Whether you're posing with superheroes, classic icons, or modern stars, every corner is designed for fun photo ops and playful interaction. 🕶️ Highlights: - Lifelike wax figures of celebrities from film, music, and sports—some are eerily realistic! - Interactive sets let you dress up, beam aboard a starship, or even “marry” a celebrity. - Kid-friendly and family-approved—our daughters loved the superhero zone and spooky haunted section. - Clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate—we spent about 1.5 hours and didn’t feel rushed. - Great location on Highway 76, surrounded by other attractions and restaurants. 🎟️ We opted for the combo ticket which included access to Castle of Chaos and Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors—totally worth it for a full afternoon of entertainment. 📸 Pro tip: Bring your phone fully charged—there are so many fun photo opportunities, and the lighting is surprisingly good for selfies! Overall, it’s a lighthearted, affordable attraction that adds a touch of Hollywood glam to your Branson trip. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone who loves pop culture!

We really enjoyed this museum. Many of the figures look like they are standing right there in front of you although some did not look as good.

Visited July 2025 Ripley's Believe it or not is always a fun place. I went 2022 and you will always find different things there. However, some of the things were the same. We went with another group of friends that was experiencing it for the first time and it's cool to look at all the unique sculptures, paintings and items that they have. This time we tried some sour cream and onion crickets that were in a vending machine just for a little fun. One of my favorite parts are the piano stairs. This time around we saw items from the guy that creates mirco sculptures. It's so very fascinating how these sculptures fit on the head of a needle and cannot be seen by the naked eye. You have to use a microscope to see them. It's fascinating. They also have military discount there for the purchase of your tickets if you don't pick them up on base. Thanks for supporting!

We last minute decided to buy a ticket and I’m glad we did! There was a lot of cool and interesting things at Ripley’s as one would expect. The display was very thought out and had me in awe. Fun for all ages and they even have a unique gift shop… two headed bunny stuffed animal was a first for me! Cool!

Neat place. Kids loved all of it. One downside was that to use the bathroom you had to go upstairs through a lot of the exhibits. So if you are in an urgent situation you may have to take your chances...speaking of which you will pass a giant roll of toilet paper on your way as well lol.

My fiance and I brought our 9 year old here and everyone enjoyed it. We took our time looking at everything and was there a little over an hour. There's a bunch of cool, interactive things to do and see so it's fun for all ages. The only down side is we kept bumping into the groups that came in before us, and several groups after us and all of us said: "They're just letting everyone in back to back" or "wow it's cramped in here." So we had to stand around and wait for certain things to clear out 5-6 times.

Little pricey but cute and fun to check out. Didn’t like the gift shop. They offer a free T shirt if you buy the coffee table book but the only offer it in 3 XL. Doesn’t relent work for my 11 year old daughter.

We had a really good time here, it was fun and definitely worth the stop. The overall vibe was enjoyable, and we made some great memories. If I had one small critique, it’s just that the place could’ve been wiped down a bit more surfaces, and little things like that. Nothing major, but it would’ve made it feel a lot fresher. Still, we enjoyed ourselves and I’d come back again.

Museum
The Dinosaur Museum in Branson is a popular family-friendly attraction featuring life-size replicas of various dinosaurs, including the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex. The museum showcases over 50 life-size dinosaur exhibits and other prehistoric creatures, utilizing cutting-edge animatronics to bring them to life. Visitors can also enjoy educational films about these ancient creatures at the in-house movie theater.
It’s a small museum of dinosaurs great for my 8!year old. You can walk/ read through in less than hour. If your kiddos like dinosaurs you’ll spent a bit more time explore and comparing facts. They have a few fossils you can feel and observe up close. My 8 year old and teens enjoyed the scavenger hunt! Great pictures!! We were greeted by a friendly host.
Maria R — Google review
As someone who is very enthusiastic about dinosaurs, I quite enjoyed the place. I do agree with other reviews that it was a little small for what you pay for. The scavenger hunt and little quiz on the back were entertaining and the displays were all kinda neat. I will say a few of the models were inaccurate, though the information on the boards (for lack of a better word). Most of the feathered dinosaurs there were bald. It was still neat to have a perspective on how big dinosaurs could be. The lady at the front was nice to us and I got jumpscared by one of the cats, but that's okay, I'm here for it 🙏 If you or your kids really do like dinosaurs, it's a cool thing to come see

Small, quiet, and full of prehistoric charm—Dinosaur Museum in Branson is a kid-approved adventure! We visited the Dinosaur Museum in Branson, Missouri using a free ticket we received from the Branson Show website after purchasing circus show tickets. It was a fun bonus and turned out to be a great little stop for our family. 🦕 The museum is pretty small and low-key, but it features a surprisingly wide variety of dinosaur models—from towering T. rex and gentle Brachiosaurus to lesser-known species. The displays are informative and easy for kids to understand, with signs that explain each dinosaur’s traits and era. 👧 Our daughters absolutely loved it! They explored freely, asked questions, and posed with their favorite dinos. The quiet atmosphere made it easy to take our time and enjoy each exhibit without crowds or noise. 📍 It’s located near other Branson attractions, so it’s easy to fit into your itinerary. The museum was clean, the staff were friendly, and the gift shop had cute, affordable souvenirs. ⏱️ We spent about 30–45 minutes inside, which felt just right for a quick educational break. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) A simple, engaging experience that’s perfect for young dinosaur fans—and even better when it’s part of a combo deal!
Quazi S — Google review
Several reviews commented about the museum being small or not interactive enough for kids. But for a 29-year-old big kid who thinks dinosaurs are cool, it was a fun visit! Kids can run around and be amazed (a small child nearby was saying “woah!” Repeatedly and it was adorable) and adults can read the informative and witty description cards as they look at the realistic models. The prehistoric hominin exhibit and genuine fossils were also interesting!

This place is a little pricey for what you get in return. We didn’t spend very much time in here. My children did love it, and kept saying oh my goodness! The gift shop had very cool stuff, we just could not afford anything in there, especially considering on what we paid per person.
Emily E — Google review
I want to start by saying we had free tickets to this museum. If we had paid for it, it would be getting 1 star. This is a very short experience that leads you through several rooms of dinosaur statues. The statues are cool, but when we visited, everything was in need of cleaning. Even going at a savoring pace, you will be through the whole museum in 15-25 minutes. For the length of the experience, the price is outrageous. They offer a scavenger hunt to do during the experience, and if you find everything, you receive a minor discount in the gift shop. I personally believe they give you this opportunity to extend your time, so you feel as if there is more there than there really is.

Sight & Sound Theatres offers immersive live theater experiences that bring Bible stories to life in elaborate productions. It has become a classic attraction in Branson, with new shows every year based on well-known tales such as Noah, Moses, and Queen Esther. Unlike other theaters in the area, Sight & Sound Theatres stands out for its grand scale and captivating performances.
Just saw the David show this evening, the amount of love and creativity poured into this show was astounding! It really felt like everyone involved genuinely love the Lord. At the end of the show, they asked if anyone needed prayer. I thought that was a beautiful thing. Would HIGHLY recommend

I recently saw the production, David, here. It was very awesome and I loved all the effects, live animals and the music. The actors and actresses did a magnificent job as well. I'll remember this show for a very long time. I was already looking for the music and soundtrack after it was over.

There just aren't enough or proper words to describe how phenomenal this venue/show is! The theatre itself is gorgeous; lush and so well appointed. Staff are tremendous. Happy, helpful, caring. David, the show itself is a feast for all senses. The sets, costumes, lighting, all exceptional. Actors (even the non-speaking ones 😉) we so amazing! Songs were beautiful and the giving of the Gospel at the end made the whole experience just perfect. I will definitely be back!

Pure magic. I have been to a lot of performances, but nothing compares. The actors/ singers are incredible, but that is just part of the magic. The theater uses a full 180° plus the aisle as the stage. The sets include a 3d holographic matrix to provide full immersion. The story was powerful and well delivered. Well worth the trip, and worth repeating!

We've been here before & have never been disappointed! We detoured about 300 miles from our route just to see David in the fall of '25. It was amazing. We saw nothing else in Branson - only David. One night, one show! We're from Iowa and thought about making the trip to Lancaster, PA just to see Noah. But Noah came out in a movie in September. We went to that. It was very good. We're waiting for The Great Awakening in Spring '26

Branson's Wild World is a unique theme park in Branson, Missouri that offers a diverse range of attractions for visitors of all ages. From an aquarium with sharks, sea turtles, and other aquatic animals to interactive experiences like feeding sharks and stingrays, the park provides both entertainment and educational opportunities. Additionally, guests can enjoy shows featuring dingos and lemurs as well as compete in a game of blacklight mini-golf.
We visited for our first time today! We talked to very friendly and knowledgeable staff who were eager to share with us and overall looked happy even though they were working very hard ! Trent** was very friendly nice by the lion and tiger area and share info with us on the animals! Emily** was great with the owls, seval, and dingos talking with the crowds as she worked. Canyon** was so enthusiastic with the stingrays and shark tank he gave us great information about sharks in general he was also very responsible in his position was nice to see . We got to feed the sharks, stingrays, and otters. We also got to play with the dingos. We would have done the lemurs but it was almost break time but we enjoyed watching a group through the window ! We also played golf . Overall so glad we came !

We were able to get some discounted tickets to come here. Glad for the discount as this place is overpriced for sure. It is on the smaller side for things like this, however we still enjoyed it. Thankfully it was not busy so we did not feel rushed looking and reading the signs. The place does need some TLC. Some of the signs are hard to read due to age. Some of the tanks need to be cleaned for sure. The miniature gulf was alright, nothing spectacular. Do not pay extra for it. We encountered several staff members who were cordial and gave us helpful information about the animals.

My girls had fun and that’s what counts - but I think this place could use a renovation. It’s definitely older, and a little run down. It’s not the cleanest place, but our girls love animals so we went. We did get to feed the sharks which was really neat (Josh was great). We were going to do the dingo interaction but they were on break. Overall, it was nice. But it definitely needs some TLC and some hardcore cleaning done. When you look at their tanks vs. the aquariums you can tell how dirty theirs are.

5-Star Review: I had a lot to deal with this week, and Branson’s Wild World was such a fun escape. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What made it great? There were multiple animals and attractions from different parts of the world that you don’t usually see at traditional zoos or aquariums. It’s neat because you get both a zoo and aquarium experience all under the same roof. The outside could use some updating and isn’t much to look at, but since it’s set back from the main strip, it wasn’t crowded at all—which made the visit even better. One of the highlights was getting to see the zookeeper in action. We watched him feed some of the animals, and it was really cool to see their reactions—especially the dingoes (or dogs) howling as soon as he showed up. You could tell the animals knew he had food! We didn’t get to do any of the animal encounters since they were closed while we were there, but overall, it was still a very unique and memorable experience.
Britanie B — Google review
We happened to go on a very hot day, so we didn't get to see many of the large animals due to the heat. We questioned one of the employees about our concerns with the heat & the living conditions of the animals & he reassured us that the animals are well taken care of, everyone that works there loves their jobs and the animals, and that the animals were just trying to stay cool, which meant that they just weren't outside so we could see them in their environment. We did enjoy watching the sharks; people were feeding them & we were pretty close to watch. The lemurs were adorable, but we didn't get a chance to go in and play with them. The birds were beautiful! Too many snakes. Lol! Overall, I think it would have been better if it had been cooler.
Janet H — Google review
Pleasantly surprised, this place had more than I expected and wasn’t overly crowded or rushed. Good walkthrough to see a large variety of different animals. It was very hot out so a lot of the outdoor animals were staying in their AC spots (hidden). Still worth the price of admission, the extras can add up but at least go toward animals/rescue. The shop is expensive. All the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the animals and sharing information. We really enjoyed feeding the sharks and playing with the lemurs! The mini golf was a cheap add on and not a bad way to end the tour, though it is very small/short we had fun.
Zuruki — Google review
Kids will forever remember this sweet gem way more than the big aquarium and zoos. We went to the big aquarium in Springfield on our trip and this sweet zoo was so much better. Kids are able to be closer and actually see the animals and even have the opportunity to interact with some. Our kids will never ever forget, petting the dingos, feeding the sharks and stingrays, and having lemur’s crawl all over us while getting snacks. DO NOT MISS THIS GEM!!! The best part is being CLOSE to the animals and really seeing them. The animals are well cared for and the staff love them. Do the interactive offerings, it’s worth it and the kids love it.

Table Rock State Park is a popular lakeside recreation area that offers a variety of activities such as boat rentals, camping, biking, and hiking trails. Visitors can also explore the Table Rock State marina, the showboat Branson Belle, the campground, and the Dewey Short Visitors Center. The park provides an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy nature and engage in recreational activities. Additionally, it offers opportunities for luxury camping experiences amidst Missouri's natural beauty.
This is one of the best campgrounds we've ever stayed at! The staff love the campground and you can tell they do because of how well they take good care of it! The bathrooms are immaculate, nice hot water and toilets with hand soap provided and air dryers. The showers are private showers with lockable doors and very spacious with nice hot water that lasts and lasts! They have a laundry room as well in both campgrounds right next to the bathrooms. There's a beautiful trail that starts at the marina and goes all the way to the dam, 4 MI or so, highly recommend taking a stroll down this path, especially to the State Park Marina picnic area!! We stayed at spot 276 on campground 2, And we absolutely loved our stay! This is one of the best campgrounds I have ever seen and I highly recommend it if you're in the area camping. We can't wait to go back!!!!!

Camped at Table Rock State Park for 6 nights for a big family trip. Together we occupied 4 sites. Park was clean and very nice. Each site has a green bag attached to the picnic table to separate your recycling which was awesome for the environment and awesome to occupy kiddos with sorting 😂 The walking trail adjacent to the lake and campsites made for some good morning runs and afternoon bike rides. Only negative were the showers. Could’ve been the timing, but late afternoon they did not smell great and offered minimal ventilation. We did visit during a heat wave and 100% humidity weeks, but still some sort of airflow would’ve been nice in there. All in all, would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Branson that isn’t right in the middle of the tourism!

Simply beautiful! Table Rock lake is an incredible sight, with more shoreline than the ENTIRE state of California! My family and I found an abundance of nature trails and saw a wide variety of interesting plant and animal life. We ate wild persimmons on the rocky lake shore and my 2 year old loved stacking up rocks and finding interesting things in the park. We will definitely visit again when able.
Scott G — Google review
I believe the best time to camp there is Monday-Thursday, the showers are individual rooms which is nice. Not all sites have hook ups, the site we stayed at was green 128 which had full hookups in campground 1. The second campground was being fixed up during my time there so I can't say when that area will be completed. Overall good experience go to the rest of the state park and the dam down the road. There's a trail behind the campground that will connect you to the other campground, marina and The Showboat (if I remember correctly is owned by Silver Dollar). Also, NO ELECTRIC SCOOTER OR BIKE on the campground even if you're watching your kid which few people due in this area, but the trails behind the campground people were riding electric scooters and bikes. Keep that in mind. At the marina you can feed the turtles and carps nice store

Worth the visit!!!! I probably spent the most time exploring this park and still haven’t appreciated it. There is a marina which is decent in size, another part of the park includes a lake with large beach area. So beautiful!!! Spent most of my time at the beach hiking and collecting odd shapes rocks! People were swimming and jet skiing . There are bathrooms and picnic areas. This is highly recommended!

Adina was very courteous and answered all our questions. The course is pretty sweet and well maintained. Music throughout the course and some great views of Branson.

The Haygoods show in Branson, Missouri is a must-see experience featuring a dynamic blend of singing, dancing, music, and stage effects. Comprised of six talented siblings, this family band has evolved from their humble beginnings at Silver Dollar City to headlining on the famous Highway 76 Strip. With stunning visual effects and state-of-the-art stage presentation, they deliver an electrifying performance showcasing musical styles spanning the last five decades.
An Absolutely Amazing Family Show! In a world that seems to be always pushing on the edges, this family has proven that great entertainment does not have to be controversial. The amount of special effects is incredible, things I have never seen before. Perhaps because they are all brothers and a sister, their harmony and sound is amazing. I loved every single song and how well they interacted with the audience. It was definitely one of the biggest highlights of our trip! You will want to buy the DVD as it also allows a digital download of the performance from that night! My granddaughter thought it was hilarious searching for my bald head in the quick shots of the crowd, lol. Go, as you will not ever regret such a fun night with a good Godly family.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have seen exactly 2 other shows in my lifetime in Branson. David was the first and it was simply amazing. No other show I’ve ever seen on or off Broadway compared to it. The other show was SIX. A total a cappella five brother group that was extremely talented. So now we go to the Haygood’s. 5 brothers and 1 sister. Want a talented family!! it seemed that every sibling could play just about any instrument as well as sing. Obviously, there were some siblings that were more talented, both vocally, and with their instrument.. they all played multiple instruments and sang as well! No, I’m not going to name names. They compete with each other enough as it is. They had an amazing amount of energy as well as talent, and it showed For the most part, the entire show was very high-tech. Lots of pyrotechnics and lasers and lights. And while I understand the need and reason behind the special effects, there was one spot in the second half. “The flying robot” was just overblown in my opinion. I think it overshadowed the talent. Still, it was an amazing part of the show Absolutely LOVED the gospel part!! Do more. Make a second show for just GOSPEL! I’d love to be at that first show. Overall, this is an extremely high energy, very family oriented, both on and off the stage show Go and enjoy the Haygood’s they are a wonderful family to go see and spend the evening with

I don’t write many reviews. But I thought I would share my experience. I really enjoyed this show. Best show in Branson that I have seen (by far, and the sellout shows vouch for this). This is a must see. The best way I can describe it is watching them “entertain” in the living room of a house. It’s family entertainment! My only advice is to book early!

If you're looking for a delightful way to kick off your day, look no further than the Amazing Pets Show! This beloved morning spectacle in Branson is a must-see for animal enthusiasts of all ages. With nearly two hours of non-stop entertainment, you'll be treated to an array of talented dogs and cats showcasing their skills through comedy, juggling, and musical performances.
I gave 5 stars because my kids loved it. I don't think adults would enjoy it much unless you are enjoying your kids along with it. The pets were entertaining and well trained. Very family friendly. The pets all seemed happy and reward trained. I saw no fear in their eyes....this coming from a pet lover who has trained dogs.

We liked the concept, but we noticed subtle hits and shoved on these adorable pets. And we could see some fear in some of these dogs and cats. Applejack was an outstanding host though. He was very good with kids. We wish the family that put on this show luck and hope nothing terrible happens to these pets. Located in the Grand Country Market, there’s lots of free parking in the front and back of the building.
Trl1971 — Google review
The advertisement said that cats and birds were in the show but they only brought out the same few dogs. Most of the show was the cast members pulling audience members on the stage and fart jokes. Every 20 minutes or so they’d have a dog or two catching frisbees and jumping on a trainer’s back. Past reviews mention potential mishandling of the pets, so maybe this is their response to that by working in a lot of non-animal entertainment. I didn’t feel like it was worth the money and my 2 and 5 year old weren’t as into the non-animal entertainment.
Kayley P — Google review
What people seem to be calling fear is intense training. Their tails were wagging until they were asked to do something. Anyone here trained a cat to do anything beyond eat? The YouTube was during intermission. Sure they are filling up an hour half show with a mix of animals. Could it have been better, maybe a little. But in all it was spaced well, did the normal we're here to make money and entertain thing. It was a good show for kids, I'd recommend. As an adult who has trained dogs and seen dogs trained, their reactions were a lot less than bird dogs training. It's even a better deal if you're already planning on doing two of their company's shows. Concessions were priced reasonable compared to any other events. The host Cracker Jack was good, you can tell he's done this a while and knows how to work an audience.

The actual pet show was great and my 3 year old daughter loved it; however, that portion of the show was very short. Apple-jack the announcer took up more time than the actual pet show. Total time was 90min. The tickets were expense for how much the pets were on the screen. Luckily my daughter was free for being three years old. Buy in advance and try and find a discount. Full price of $50+ isn't worth it.

this is entertaining for kids, maybe. but this show should never be a thing. these animals are not meant for continuous performing. it is so painfully obvious the dogs and cats are abused behind stage but nothing can be done about it. my sister and i felt so sorry for these poor babies. you can tell some of the dogs are so exhausted and do not want to perform certain acts. let these babies have fun. at some point when the caretaker went to pick smokey up, smokey squealed instinctively without the caretaker even touching him, furthermore the caretaker shrugged his shoulders and gave the dog a “look”. i doubt they receive actual love and affection behind the scenes. it’s extremely heartbreaking. branson, stop this madness. 💔

Total waste of money. The actual pets did a great job, they were so sweet and cute. But the pets were only on stage for like 15 minutes total of the 2 hour show. The rest was just filler of some guy named “plum crazy” who was making “jokes” and telling stories. My kids lost interest very soon. And while the pets did do a great job, they basically did the same tricks over and over again in different costumes. If the tickets cost $30 and the show lasted about 30 mins, that would probably be worth it. But we spent $100 as a family of four, and it was so boring—felt like such a waste of time and money. Not to mention, I agree with all the other reviewers that it didn’t seem like the animals were treated the best. When we were there, a tiny dog got his arm stuck in his sweater and was struggling to get it out/balance for what seemed like forever. People in the audience were yelling at the trainer guy to help the poor dog, but the trainer didn’t do anything. Anyways, I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone. There are many shows to see in Branson, and it’s hard to know which ones will actually be high quality. I’m here to tell you this one was not.
Kristi S — Google review
Like other reviews; i noticed a few swats at the animals and yank off the collar from the handler. Spent more time watching applejack or whatever his name was than the actual time the pets were on stage. Nothing was jaw dropping or “wow” factor for what the animals did. Could have easily just watched a YouTube video of animals doing tricks and been satisfied. Not worth the ticket price. The birds only flew across the room a few times and that was their act. Just not impressive show…

The Branson Landing Water & Fire Show is a stunning display of water fountains and fire cannons set to music and light shows. Located on the scenic boardwalk along Lake Taneycomo, this multi-million dollar extravaganza features 120-ft. fountains shooting water into the air alongside vertical blasts of fire cannons, all synchronized with popular musical favorites. It's a free event in a lively downtown location, offering ample seating areas and nearby restaurants with live music.
This was so cool! I saw 2 shows while having a casual late lunch and a third after some shopping. They have a punch of chairs to sit and watch and you can sit down by it and enjoy the Lake/river and watch boat tours go by and zip liners overhead.

Dont know what to say. I visited on a Friday night. I thought they are going to do a good 2 or 3 so9ngs or mix music. It only last one song , long walk from the Hotel for 3-4 minutes show. It was nice but can be longer for sure,

A great experience. The show lasts approximately 5 mins, but a good area to stay and spend time. I went with my spouse and kid, and we spend some good time, sitting on the lawn and chatting. A nice ambience overall. It has a trail behind where you can walk a bit, through the shores of water.

Spectacular fountain show meets lakeside charm—Branson Landing is a must for evening strolls and family fun! Branson Landing’s Water and Fire Show is a dazzling centerpiece of this vibrant lakeside shopping and entertainment district. Set along the scenic boardwalk of Lake Taneycomo, the show features 120-foot water geysers, synchronized fire cannons, and music-light choreography designed by the creators of the Bellagio fountains. It’s free, runs hourly starting at noon, and is especially magical after sunset. 🛍️ Beyond the show, Branson Landing is a perfect spot for shopping and strolling. The open-air mall includes national brands, boutique shops, and local favorites. There’s a wide variety of dining options—from casual bites to riverside restaurants with live music. 🎢 For adventure seekers, there’s a zipline across the lake, boat rentals, and access to the Branson Scenic Railway, all within walking distance. The area is clean, well-lit, and family-friendly, with plenty of seating and green space. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We loved watching kids dance to the music and seeing couples enjoy the romantic lakeside vibe. It’s a great way to unwind after a day of shows and attractions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Branson Landing blends entertainment, nature, and shopping into one unforgettable experience.

They only do the water and fire show for ONE song, once an hour on the hour. I expected a little more than one song. The way people crowded by the riverfront, we expected a lot more. My family and I were disappointed. It was AWESOME the 1 song they do, though!

Saw this show 4 years ago and stumbled upon it again this evening for the 8pm show. Luckily, the 8pm was 3 songs. It was AMAZING! Very good action of water and fire together. Lots of people, so probably want to arrive 10 mins or so early. Lots of kids having a good time dancing and dazzled by the water. So fun to see kids experience stuff and remember when we were that age. It was a great show! Def recommend going in the evening when it's dark for best effect.

Discover the charm of downtown Branson with Sparky, the free trolley that offers a unique and convenient way to explore the area. Operating year-round, except for January and February, this trolley runs seven days a week and stops at 12 different locations. Whether you're visiting Branson Landing or Bass Pro, Sparky provides easy access to various attractions. Families can enjoy a leisurely ride through town, with friendly drivers offering helpful information along the way.
Love how convenient this trolley made shopping/site-seeing downtown! I was able to park my car and just ride the trolley to everywhere I needed to go, no worrying about parking in the more crowded main street area. The bus driver was very friendly and informative. At the end of my shopping, I rode around the rest of the trolley route just to see more of the town, and the driver gave a lot of fun trivia, history, and useful insights as we went.

This was very convenient and free! We went to Bass Pro Shop first, and the trolly picks you up there, which is stop number 2, and you can ride till you want to get off or get back to the original destination. We got off at #5 and got back on, went back to the Bass Pro Shop, and if you walk to the right of that building, there's a ton more shops and restaurants there. I definitely recommend the use of the trolly.

FREE DOWNTOWN BRANSON TROLLEY Meet Sparky! He’s the free, downtown Branson trolley. You can hop on from any of the 12 stops and travel easily through downtown, including Main Street, Branson Landing and the Branson Convention Center. It takes about 45 minutes for the round trip. Walking and driving can save you time but it’s a good experience to travel by trolly to explore the town the first day.

Andy's Frozen Custard is a popular spot known for its delectable frozen custard treats. The menu features a variety of options including sundaes, concretes, and shakes, all customizable with an array of toppings. One standout item is the Jackhammer, which takes their creamy concrete and fills it with hot fudge or other toppings.
Amazing. Everything we had was delicious. It’s usually a competition to see who “wins”. We couldn’t decide a winner today. Easy to see why there are 100 people outside at night when it cools off. Stopped by mid afternoon and found no line. Were able to wait in the shade of the sign while they made our treats. It was also half the price of another ice cream shop in town. Glad we made another trip to try it.

Food: 5/5 (Always great ice cream!) Service: 5/5 (Great service!) Atmosphere: 4/5 (Great culture!) If you're looking for a delightful frozen treat, Andy’s Frozen Custard is the place to be! I discovered this gem in Chicago years back and only grew to appreciate it more as time went on. This particular spot is located in Branson, Missouri. Andy's is known for its fantastic frozen custard made from the freshest ingredients, making it a perfect spot to enjoy, no matter the weather. The custard never disappoints! They offer a fantastic selection, from classic vanilla and chocolate cones to indulgent sundaes, concretes, and seasonal specialties. My experiences have always been delicious; I’ve yet to encounter anything less than top-notch quality. The service here is exceptional! The staff greets you with warm smiles, clearly enjoying their work. Everything is served with care, ensuring you receive a perfect treat every time. The atmosphere is wonderful, too! There's a great vibe created by the lively crowd, and nothing beats that huge iconic ice cream cone as you drive up. It’s such an inviting environment. With both drive-thru and walk-up service, Andy’s Frozen Custard makes indulging in a tasty dessert quick and easy. It's a sweet sensation that never gets old!

Experience the thrill of hurtling through forest slopes on the Runaway Mountain Coaster at Branson Mountain Adventure. This exhilarating ride features nearly a mile of track, allowing riders to reach speeds of up to 30 mph. What sets it apart is that you're in control, with each cart equipped with a braking system. At night, the coaster offers an added dimension with illuminated runs and colorful light displays along the entire course.
Great place a lot of fun for all ages. Kinda scary but lots of fun. Reasonable prices staff was informative. The kids will love it. Definitely a 5 star experience. I’ll definitely will do it again

Exciting, scenic, and family-friendly—Runaway Mountain Coaster in Branson is a thrill with a view! We had a fantastic time at the Runaway Mountain Coaster in Branson, MO. It’s a unique alpine coaster that winds through the Ozark hills, offering beautiful views and a rush of excitement. What made it extra special was that our 3- and 8-year-old daughters could ride with their dad—making it a shared adventure for the whole family. 🎢 The coaster is smooth but thrilling, with dips, curves, and speed that you control. Riders can brake or let it fly, which makes it great for all comfort levels. Our girls were a little nervous at first, but ended up laughing and cheering by the end. It’s fast enough to be exciting, but not too intense for younger kids when riding with an adult. 🌲 The setting is gorgeous—wooded hills, fresh air, and a peaceful vibe between rides. The staff were friendly and safety-focused, and the whole experience felt well-managed and clean. ⏱️ The ride itself lasts a few minutes, but you can purchase multiple runs or combo tickets with other attractions nearby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Perfect for families looking for a safe thrill and unforgettable views in Branson!

Seniors, we had fun, but it is a rough ride. Smile for your photos-there are 2 camera shots on the way down. They have a small phone charger storage locker big enough for your phone and keys. Hang on to your eyeglasses! Or store them. If you lose anything on the way down, they will not retrieve your items so think carefully beforehand. We also did a bit of gem mining. Pretty good selection. I purchased the Mega Strike bag. Have fun!!!😊

We got there at 9:20am and people starting to line up at ticket window so to avoid long line I recommend to go as early as you can.

I did forgot something and found out after I left town so I contact them on the contact page on their website, they got my problem solved super fast.

Everyone who rides the ride has to fill out a waiver, you can do it on their website before you get there to save some time.

This was our first time on a mountain coaster, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a thrill! Wait times can be long, but they have fans and sun shades, so the heat doesn't bother you as much. The ride up was breathtaking minus their "fake animals," which I think they could do without. Just my opinion. It doesn't take away from the scenery, though. The ride down was as fast or slow as you would like as you control your own speed. If you are into more of a thrill, go after dark as they have the tracks and cars lit up, and it is AMAZING!! Definitely recommend this mountain coaster, and we look forward to riding again!
Becca G — Google review
The only thing I got to do here was the Runaway Mountain Coaster, so I'll be reviewing that here. It is one of the best mountain coasters I've ever ridden. This one is noticeably rougher and jankier than copperhead and branson coaster, but it is a lot more intense. This one has a great setting in the woods, and the ride to the top is very long so take in those views. You go so high up this mountain, you will not be able to see the road at the top. The course is filled with the usual helixes, dips and minimally banked turns. The tracking is not perfect on this one which only enhances the lateral forces on the turns. This ride runs with no auto breaks so you can go as fast as you can. I could not stop laughing the entire ride just because of how janky it was. If you can only do one mountain coaster in Branson, it should be this one, it is easily the best of the 3. Highly recommended. Just be sure to go full speed the whole time so you don't slow others down unless the signs say. They just paid almost 20 dollars to ride and they deserve a 20 dollar ride.

The Branson Coaster is a thrilling mountain coaster ride that offers an adrenaline-pumping experience as it twists and turns through the scenic Ozark Mountains. With speeds reaching up to 45 mph, riders have full control over their own speed, making it suitable for both thrill-seekers and those looking for a more relaxed ride. Additionally, the park features The Branson Buzzsaw, a new 123-foot high swing ride that promises exhilarating G-force experiences.
Very fun mountain coaster! This ride has very good speed and lateral forces toward the end of it's two halves. I don't know what it is like in the normal season but in October it had some decent theming along the course that gives the ride some bonus points. The two halves of the ride are very short but you get good speed and forces with pretty minimal auto breaking which is an issue that plagues a lot of other mountain coasters. I'm glad there is a second half of this ride or else it would feel too short. I would recommend a ride on it if you are in town. I know it says you can break, but please refrain from using it so you don't slow others down unless the signs say to slow. They paid almost 20 dollars to ride it and they deserve a 20 dollar ride.

This is a self pull roller coaster. If you have shorter arms, you might get tired after a while holding down the handles. I used my feet for a little bit. It was fun for a first time and the kids might enjoy it a little more but I like real roller coasters so it really wasn't for me.

Sadly, we waited in line for over 30 minutes and then were told once we got to the front that my husband and I could not ride together because we were both over 56 inches tall, we are well under the weight limit. We were told that the rules changed since the last time we were here and were able to ride together. They did give us a refund (I don’t like to ride by myself). I took a picture of the rules as we left and they did not reflect what we were told. I read the info at the ticket counter when we purchased the tickets and did not see anything about it there either.

The store offers an extensive range of products, including old-fashioned candies, retro toys, vintage-chic home decor, unique souvenirs, collectibles, housewares, and inspirational gifts. Visitors can also explore a vast assortment of nostalgic and novelty candy as well as historic collections.
We have been visiting this place for many years. We always enjoy how helpful the employees are at helping find something you are looking for within the store. It is a blast from the past with retro toys and items that were long forgotten. Here you find just about anything you may need for the household. We always wind up buying something that we need or at least think we need. We found the store well organized and clean. The aisle can get a little crowded but with a little patience since there a lot to see. They have toy trains that run overhead that are a lot of fun.

The Dewey Short Visitor Center is a free attraction that provides an engaging experience for visitors of all ages. It offers interactive displays showcasing the history and topography of Table Rock Lake, including information about the dam development by the Army Corps of Engineers. The center features wall murals by local artists, Native American relics, Ozarks dioramas, and an interactive water safety exhibit. Visitors can also explore a model of a hydroelectric dam and enjoy sprawling lake views from outdoor decks.
Great location with lots of learning materials for the dam, the area, and how the landscape/surrounding area was started and grew into what it is today. Lovely LEED Gold building with really beautiful architecture and nice nature walks. Would love to visit again and check out more of the museum portions as we showed up right before they closed! They were very kind and let us stay a few minutes late, but still, know when it closes before you head their way!

This is such a hidden gem, especially if you have kids! Education and interaction all in one place!! The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Bonus: beautiful scenery and right down the road… Don’t forget to visit the Shepard Hills Fish Hatchery!!! You have the option to feed the trout for 25 cents.

Our family really enjoyed the views from the Dewey Short Visitor Center. It’s free to visit and has lots of interesting exhibits, beautiful views of the lake and dam, walking trails, and picnic spots. The staff were friendly and informative, which made the visit even better. A great place to stop and explore!

Great place to visit and learn about the area. Would highly recommend watching the 20 minute video on the building of the dam. Then, view the dam from the ND & 3rd floor decks.

This was a nice place to visit. Very educational and informative. Has nice overlook on the upper level. We learned a good bit about Table Rock Lake and the dam and the surrounding area. I grew up watching the likes of Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston and others fish the lake on TV with my grandfather.

I enjoyed stopping here. One of my favorite was it has an observation deck with a nice view of the lake and dam. Plenty of free parking. Entering the facilities, I was greeted by rangers and given basic info of where things were in the building: bathrooms, theater (info of why/how the dam was built), informative displays of the dam, viewing deck. There was an elevator, strollers/wheelchair friendly. An interesting and informative place for both kids and adults. I spent about an hour going through the place viewing the informative displays, movie, etc.

The Ralph Foster Museum, known as the "Smithsonian of the Ozarks," is a must-visit treasure just south of Branson within the College of the Ozarks campus. Housed in a turn-of-the-century schoolhouse, this museum boasts three floors of captivating exhibits. Visitors can marvel at the original vehicle from "The Beverly Hillbillies" TV show, a 19th century pioneer cabin, historical tools, antique firearms, glassware and textiles.
Last weekend, my friend and I visited the Ralph Foster Museum, and we were both blown away by how much there was to see. It’s spread out over three floors, with everything from Ozarks history to pop culture artifacts. There’s also an incredible collection of historic firearms, a huge variety of mounted animals and birds, and some beautifully preserved spaces like an old-time post office, a blacksmith shop, and even a full historic log cabin. One of my favorite parts was the deep dive into local music history—I had no idea how many talented musicians have ties to this area. And seeing original artwork by Thomas Hart Benton was an unexpected treat. If you're looking to escape the heat or a rainy day, this place is well worth a few hours. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to overlook—but absolutely worth exploring.

I came here for one reason, and that was to see the truck from the Beverly Hillbillies. By far my favorite show of all time, and there's probably not a single thing about this show that I don't already know. I've even been by the Chartwell Mansion in Bel Air, a few times. Thankfully before the original front gate got moved. Anyway, the cool thing is that you can pay to get your picture taken in the truck. Yes, you actually get to sit in it! Touring rest of the museum is actually pretty cool. Lots of local radio and music history. Along with various, and well detailed, stories and artifacts from the past. Even in their bathrooms they have the schools Christian music station playing. Which I thought was pretty cool! Definitely good music. In fact, I use an app called "Simple Radio" to listen to it in my car. My only gripe, is that this place is a *you know what* to find. Once you get in from the highway the signage is horrible, or lack thereof, to better put it. The college kids working the museum even agreed with me. Break loose with some signs and you'll get more visitors!

This museum contains a lot of interesting collections! The first floor is very eclectic...toy, watch, doll, stamp, money, etc. collections. The second floor is mostly guns with some famous war, criminal, and lawmen items, with a Native American area. The top floor had animals, birds, insects, butterflies, and so much more. Nice elevator available. Water fountains on each floor. It was 97 degrees outside and cool and comfy inside the museum.

Nature & Parks
Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area is a 140-acre nature park located in Branson, offering a serene escape from the bustling city. The area features five trails, including The Bluff Trail which leads to a stunning waterfall at the bottom. Visitors can explore hand-lain stone steps leading to the Grotto, a partial dome carved into the bluff above Lake Taneycomo.
We came here 3 years ago in the Fall and it was beautiful. On our recent visit (still Summer) it didn’t disappoint. It’s a treasure of a place right next to the heart of the Branson Strip. You just turn at Hurt’s donut and tune into the parking area of the Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area and an outdoor adventure awaits. There are multiple trials clearly marked - they have the historic homestead and also more strenuous trials going up and down the ravine to the lake. The stone steps are available - be prepared to sweat a bit and use those leg muscles to get back up. There’s a trail to see the grotto and waterfall (no water while we’re there due to lack of rain), and the tiny cave. The view from the homestead area at the top of the steps is beautiful - you can see across Lake Taneycomo and even make out the Branson downtown air strip. Branson is a busy place at times and can be overwhelming, but this wilderness area offers a bit of rural respite and a way to spend a bit of time in nature.

During our visit over the Columbus Day long weekend, we were thoroughly impressed by the trial routes. These routes offered a variety of difficulty levels, and we had the pleasure of experiencing the red, purple, green, and yellow trails. The red and purple trails presented the greatest challenge, featuring steep staircases and rocks that were both slippery and unstable. Regrettably, the waterfall was not present, possibly due to the water drying up; however, we were still able to descend the rocks to reach the lake. A notable advantage of this park is the clear marking of milestones along the routes, which makes navigation straightforward. Furthermore, the interactive QR code map proved to be a valuable tool for staying on course. Having explored numerous trails, we confidently consider this one among the finest, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to both families and individuals who enjoy hiking.

I had an enjoyable hike into the grotto to view the waterfall but did not know there is a cave there until I came out. Decided not to take the stairs this time, but the elevation change is the same with or without them. Like that they plant monarch butterfly friendly plants as well for aid in the great migration.

Lakeside Forest Wilderness Area in Branson, Missouri, offers a captivating natural escape with its 140 acres of wooded trails, picturesque waterfalls, and stunning views of Lake Taneycomo. Visitors praise the park for its well-marked trails, which cater to various fitness levels, from the challenging 315 stone steps leading down to the lake to more leisurely paths. Highlights include the grotto and waterfall (which is dependent on rainfall), the historic Owen Homestead, and the Old Soldiers Cave. The area is dog-friendly and provides clean restrooms and picnic areas, making it an ideal spot for family outings or a peaceful solo adventure. While some trails can be rugged with steep drop-offs and road noise from nearby highways can be a slight detractor, the overall experience is highly rated, with many appreciating this free and accessible natural gem.

The Mirror Maize is an entertaining attraction located at Branson Landing Boulevard. It offers a unique experience similar to navigating through a corn maze, but with walls made entirely of mirrors. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by reflections at every turn, adding an extra challenge to finding the way out. While it may be a quick experience for adults, children can spend hours exploring and letting their imaginations run wild. The affordable admission fee makes it a great option for families looking for some quick and magical fun.
My husband and I did the zombie game last night and it was unlike anything else we’ve done before! My favorite part of this strip. We also went to the arcade connecting to this building, not sure of the name but know that they’re affiliated and it was wonderful!

Do not buy a Groupon for four people to do the 4d ride and two people to do the maze. They will tell you it’s only good for two people to do the ride twice. Even though no where on Groupon does it specify this. They also will not do the right thing and let the four of us ride one time instead of making the kids who are kind of scared anyway ride twice. Such terrible service. This place should be shut down. Don’t offer a deal and then change the deal when we arrive.
Zac B — Google review
The mirror maze is honestly not worth the thought. It's very small, the mirrors stay more dirty than clean. People prefer the 7-D ride. They have a horrible turn around with employees. I loved my job. But the place is full of drama. You have to deal with favoritism, cliques. Bad treatment from management if they get mad at you. They will put you in 7-D all day if they don't like you so that way they don't have to deal with you. They aren't family oriented at all.

The Mirror Maize is a complete rip-off. $9.50, per person, to walk down a hall of filthy mirrors only to find "the farmer". Took all of 2 minutes. It was ridiculous. No challenge at all. If they charged a dollar per minute it took you to find the farmer, it still wouldn't be worth this rediculous price! Save your money for something else. Wish we had.

A fun place to take the kids for cheap. It is $9 a person. An adult can get thru in like 2 minutes. But the kids played for about an hour and their imaginations went wild. I’ll come back!

Don’t waste your money like us….Skip the Maze!!

Hannah's Maze of Mirrors is an exciting attraction located in Branson, Missouri.

The maze itself presents a challenge as guests navigate through 288 potential turns among countless mirrored walls and archways, all while searching for Princess Hannah of Savannah. The experience is filled with bright lights and music, making it both fun and thrilling.
Idky others hated but maybe cause other people were there? My kids and I had it all to ourselves and good cause we actually were lost like 15 or 20 minutes . We get there like 11 ish am I think so it wasn’t crowded. Show up early and u might get an awesome day filler

This was fun. I had not really done a mirror maze since I was a kid. The colors, mirrors, and lights were cool. It gives you a little video quest thing at the beginning. My biggest complaint about this was that it was tiny. The mirror maze was not really big at all. You made your way through it fairly quickly.

Whimsical, challenging, and full of laughter—Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors is a Branson favorite for families! We had a fantastic time at Hannah’s Maze of Mirrors in Branson, MO. It’s more than just a mirror maze—it’s a playful adventure wrapped in a fairytale storyline. Our elder daughter was absolutely thrilled to navigate the maze on her own, and her excitement was contagious! Watching her beam with pride after solving it was one of the highlights of our trip. 🪞 The maze itself is beautifully designed, with vibrant colors, clever twists, and just enough challenge to keep everyone engaged. We laughed, bumped into mirrors, and cheered each other on as we tried to find the right path. It’s a great bonding activity that mixes problem-solving with pure fun. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The whole family enjoyed it—from the youngest to the adults. It’s not too long or overwhelming, making it perfect for kids and first-timers. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the attraction was clean and well-maintained. 🎟️ We visited as part of a combo ticket with other Branson attractions, which made it even more affordable and convenient. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A joyful, interactive experience that brings out the explorer in everyone!

Great add on to the Fivrr pass we bought through the aquarium website. Would not have been worth it as a standalone ticket, at least not for 2 adults. It was slow the day we arrived so had the place to ourselves. Fun way to spend 15 minutes but I could also see this being much more challenging and possibly even frustrating for little kids.

Our party had a blast. A lot of not that great reviews, but you're able to buy an adult pass for almost $40 that gets you into the 4 attractions there. If you go through the Aquarium first, you can do the Aquarium and all 4 spots.. the Wax Museum, Castle of Chaos, Maze of Mirrors and Minature Golf for just under $65. That would be an entire day of fun, for our family. Kid's loved it, our 10 year old son led us out. Not too difficult where it's scary, but difficult enough to be fun, if that makes sense. We loved it and would recommend to anyone in the area vacationing.

A nice affordable way to access the lake for swimming. $5 per car to get in and plenty of parking. If you are going on a weekend during peak season, GO EARLY. We were there at noon on a Saturday and the lot was full. We came back Sunday at 9:30am and got right in. There are bathrooms and also many picnic areas with shade. CON: THE SAND WAS UNBEARABLY HOT by the time we left. Yes it’s normal but this was probably the worst I’ve seen. Bring some sort of shade for your area in the sand, you’ll want it. Also bring floats!
Amanda D — Google review
$5 for a parking pass for the entire day. The only sand beach at Table Rock Lake. The bad thing is that the parking lot is rather high above the beach access. It is ramp access to get to the bottom, but still, it's quite a walk. Also, at the bottom of the beach access ramp (the 2nd ramp), there are stones set around and no ramp to the sand. There is an additional/handicapped/time limited (15 minutes) parking lot at the same level as the changing/rest rooms and big picnic shelter (we didnt find out about it until we were leaving, though.) So you can park down there to unload your stuff and then drive back up to park for the day and then drive back down to load up and leave. There are several covered picnic shelters with grills to use and one very large pavillion you can rent out for the day. The beach is very soft sand. it's extremely hard to walk in and almost impossible to pull or push anything in (strollers, wagons, wheelchairs, etc.). Also, the sand is full of various smallish sharp objects, so i would not recommend going barefoot. The water is really nice and very clear. It is also full of tiny stones that are very sharp, and the sand will try to suck your sandals off, making walking in the water exceptionally difficult. There is virtually no shade anywhere near the sand part, so take an umbrella or a beach tent, or you will wish you had.
Heather A — Google review
As with any public beach, experiences will vary. Ours, sadly, ended quickly bc the actions and extremely vulgar language of a large family nearby was terribly inappropriate and immature. Plenty of picnic spots and shaded pavilions overlooking the beach area. Restrooms with showers to rise off the sand were also available.

Awesome place and it was exceptionally clean! We went with only about two hours left to swim, but it was great for our whole family. This is an awesome place to swim and relax!

"The Shepherd of the Hills" is a family entertainment park that pays homage to the legendary novel. Visitors can enjoy outdoor performances and explore the observation decks of Inspiration Tower, which offer breathtaking views of the Ozark Mountains, especially during sunset. The tower was built in 1989 to commemorate Harold Bell Wright's first visit to the Ozarks and boasts impressive statistics, such as weighing 3 million pounds and withstanding strong winds.
(WE DID NOT ENTER) Only enjoyed the free stores and beginning of park. We got there 1 hour before closing, so, skipped out on some things. However, the stores were fun. Bought some sweets, candy, a collectible shot glass and walked around. The lemonade stand was cheap and good- guy working it was fun as well, just down to earth and helpful.

Some friends and I attended the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama which was very excellent and quite accurate to the book. The acting was well done along with the character building and live effects. During intermission we joined the barn dance and had the time of my life! I would love to go again and bring the rest of my family to enjoy this. The guns were filled with blanks so it is more immersive into the feeling of the story but may be a bit loud for infants. You can meet the actors and actresses after the show as well. All in all, very well done!

We bought the package with whodunnit and wild West. The whodunnit was indoors with dinner. Fun comedy with audience participation. They then had trolley to take us to lookout to look over different areas of Branson( had elevator). They then took us by trolley to outdoor wild west show. This show had excellent horse riders to a gentleman who could do rope tricks. Excellent family outing with teenagers. Both shows has comedy. I had no expectations but absolutely loved!!! Highly recommended. If you have a kid who like horses or cowboys this is your show. There are several times they have loud fake guns- just know if you have child with autism ahead of time for covering ears.

We purchased the combo ticket for dinner show, park admission and outdoor drama. Although we arrived too late to go through the Adventure park, they gave us tickets to come back and use the next day. The Chuckwagon dinner show was very fun, food was good and the Shepherd of the Hills play was excellent. The mountain coaster ride was mediocre, the view from the Inspirations Tower was breathtaking, teens enjoyed the net tower and suspension bridge. If you are physically able to walk the stairs, don’t waste your time waiting on the tram. Overall, was very enjoyable by all from parents to teens.

When I say the Dutton Family does it all, they really do. You will see them directing cars in the parking lot, selling snacks at the concessions, or showing you to your seats. Go next door to Abby's Tourists Trap for a $1 icecream. They did have great prices on their souvenirs.

We had an absolute blast last night! And when you can get 2 pre-teens to smile and thoroughly enjoy the show, you know it's good! You could feel the love and enjoyment from every Dutton family member on stage. We can't wait to go back!

THE BEST!! We have seen over 8 shows in Branson, MO this week and this is the best one!! Awesome light and screen set up, (however, bass player doesn’t seem to like it that much) but maybe one day he will realize the work was definitely worth it.

The Dutton’s Family Show is one not to be missed in Branson, MO! We attend their concert every time we visit Branson. We have been going about every couple of years since 2012. Each of the family members can and do play multi-instruments. The violin and banjo are our favorite! They even have the Dutton Inn adjacent to their own theater and Abby’s Got Ya’ Shop next door with $1 ice cream. This year they have something new: “Where Jesus Walked.” We will have to check that out next time we get to Branson.

Quiet, powerful, and deeply moving—Veterans Memorial Museum in Branson is a must-visit for history lovers. We visited the Veterans Memorial Museum in Branson, MO as part of a combo deal from the Branson Show website, which included tickets to three museums when you purchase select attractions like the circus show. It was an incredible value and gave us access to a truly meaningful experience. 🇺🇸 The museum is quiet and contemplative, offering a respectful tribute to American veterans across major 20th-century conflicts—World War I & II, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, with authentic uniforms, medals, weapons, letters, and personal stories that bring history to life. 🕊️ One of the most powerful features is the wall of names honoring fallen soldiers. It’s humbling and emotional, especially when viewed in the peaceful atmosphere of the museum. Our daughters were moved by the stories and asked thoughtful questions—proof that history here is accessible and impactful for all ages. 📍 Located on West 76 Country Boulevard, it’s close to other attractions but feels tucked away from the hustle. Staff were kind, and everything was clean and well-organized. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A quiet gem in Branson that honors sacrifice and invites reflection.

This place was great! I loved to learn about everything people have done for our freedom. It was very informative and there was a good balance between things to look at and information. Theres no place id rather spend my memorial day at than here. The person that ran it was very friendly and so kind and the gift shop was full of a variety of different gifts.

The Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area is a 1,534 acre nature preserve that features scenic trails and an observation tower. It is perfect for hiking with friends or family, as it has a variety of trails to choose from. The area is home to many animals, including the native birds.
It was a quick little hike to a lookout tower. The climb up wasn't terrible, but if you don't like heights, you definitely won't like this one. Kinda wobbly, but it's a nice view at the top. The view from the carpark is prettier than the views at the top of the tower. We took our stroller down the path. Very nice, short hike. Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed the hike. When you turn into the parking lot, park, and then walk to your right on the paved path if you want to go up the overlook tower. Yes, it does seem sketchy, but you will be okay. Use caution. The view is so beautiful! After you do this, then go back to the parking lot. There are more trails going the opposite direction.
Ainsleigh S — Google review
Beautiful trail with waterfalls. Lots of early spring wildflowers and butterflies. We hiked the whole trail. Our only regret is that we didn't bring a water bottle. You really need to stay hydrated. The trail is not a "walking path." It most certainly is a hiking trail and a walking stick is necessary as there's a lot of loose rock, steep inclines and some are treacherous. There is some climbing involved. We're in decent shape and it took us 4 hours. Once on the trail, there are no restrooms so plan ahead. We put on over 20,000 steps on our watches.

Splash Country Indoor & Outdoor Waterpark is a top destination in Branson, offering a wide range of water play features for visitors of all ages. From thrilling slides like the Highwall Heights to a relaxing lazy river and a toddler pool, there's something for everyone. The park is located at Grand Country Resort and provides an impressive waterpark experience with various attractions such as hot tubs and concession-style grill.
We had an amazing time. My daughter who is asd nonverbal had the best time. There are so many things to do within the park I was honestly shocked at how much that was there. Water slides, huge wave pool,lazy river, hot tub, kiddie area. We didn't stay in the hotel but definitely will be next time
Kristen B — Google review
Huge great place to take the kids especially in the winter. The only problem I encountered was I didn’t know I had to buy a ticket before I walked all the way down to splash country so buy your tickets online or go upfront first.. and also they have no baby changing stations so either bring your little undressed to make it easier or prepare to put a towel down and change them on a chair or bench…. The people who own this company are some of the best people I’ve known my whole life.
Krista F — Google review
First and foremost, I must complain about the new (visited on 6/19/25), smaller green slide. The rules state that only guests under 48” can slide AND they must wear a life vest. This is a small kiddie slide. And mind you, they won’t allow any kids on it if their adult isn’t watching them, plus the lifeguard is right there. In 5 inches of water. The “big” green slides are for guests over 42” WITHOUT a life vest. It makes no sense and the owner needs to change the life vest rule on the little green slide. The admission price should be based on height, not age considering everything is based on height so some kids that pay still won’t be able to go on the cool slides. Now for all the things you need to know: they provide those little white towels with a blue stripe so you don’t have to bring your own, the wave pool is actually only a wave pool for 1/3 of the time; its waves for 10 minutes and off for 20 minutes, the lifeguards don’t all enforce the same rules so when they swap out lifeguards your kid can be told to stop doing the same thing they’ve been doing for the last 30 minutes, the outside part is small but great for younger kids, kids are allowed in the hot tubs with adult supervision (no lifeguards there), there’s a $5 off per person coupon in the booklets at the hotels that you have to bring when paying.
Angela M — Google review
Great place for all ages!! I wish they had a bigger outdoor area, though. All life guards were very attentive and always watching. There is a pizza place inside. Much more affordable than anywhere else we have visited thus far. This is definitely a place to take your kids for fun and they will sleep well!! Watch out for the walking ramps, they are slippery!
Kari C — Google review
The wave pool and the lazy river is freezing cold. Not enjoyable. The park is clean and lots to do. Just very cold making hard to enjoy. Even the hot tub was lukewarm.
Chris P — Google review
This is mostly fun for kids not toddlers. It’s a cute set up and the water was lukewarm which is perfectly fine! But my toddlers could only do so much. Since it’s now basically just the indoor park (because it getting colder outside) there is just the indoor one green toddler slide and the only thing that made my husband and I uncomfortable is the way the life guards will blow the whistle at you if your kid walks just a foot away from you in the water. I’m right there as a parent and I’m constantly watching but it definitely made me uncomfortable that they were blowing the whistle anytime that would happen and if people were horsing around in the wave pool. I never been to a waterpark where they are almost always blowing the whistle at little things. Not that I want anything to happen to my kids but the whole point of lifeguards is to save lives if something happens. And my kid being not even a full foot away from me shouldn’t be concerning. Sadly this just wasn’t worth the 90 dollars my husband and I paid.
Bridget F — Google review
My fiance went there to do the indoor and it cost us almost $ 91 dollars for 4 hours. That's how long we got to swim. 1st, we are both locals and 2nd, we, as locals should not have to pay that much for the indoor water park due to the company makes enough money through the summer to pay the staff members.

Coral Reef Mini Golf is a popular indoor mini-golf course in Branson, Missouri. Unlike other outdoor courses, Coral Reef is open year-round and offers a cozy island-themed decor. The 18-hole game is challenging yet enjoyable, making it suitable for all seasons. It's a great place for family outings, date nights, or even corporate events and birthday parties.
Eric was welcoming and friendly. Gave all instructions and safety requirements quickly and efficiently. The course is fun and challenging. Great for couples and families, clean restrooms a must do.

This was a great place to go on a cold rainy day. It was fun to play with the added red and orange holes for penalties or bonus points. The course is really challenging, though the decorations are a little strange. Great place for indoor putt putt though.
Dr. B — Google review
We enjoyed mini-golfing here! My husband said it was his favorite mini golfing course that he's played! The holes are well designed and even had an additional strategy element of having extra holes that either add or take away a stroke. The theme was enjoyable, the wall decals were great quality, the holes were a bit lacking in decor but still didn't take away from enjoyment. If you are looking for a mini golf experience out of the heat, try this one! They even have free shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, and a free pool table! Eric, the manager, was thoughtful of my health condition and seems to want everyone to have a good experience. We'll be back again!

Very nice employee running the desk/cashier area. It was refreshing to play mini golf inside an Air conditioned space as it was 104 with the heat index that afternoon,as opposed to all the other outside hot but wonderful mini golf businesses in Branson. They had fans placed strategically around the room to keep Air flowing as well. The 18 greens course was small & cute and offered various levels of game with how hard or easy each green was. Kids and adults alike will be challenged and have some fun. My husband and I both enjoyed it very much for the affordable price.

Great family place to play putt and its indoors with air conditioning and fans spread throughout the building to help keep the place cool and a really nice touch here is that they have some games that are included with the cost of entry (pool table, air hockey, ping pong and i cant remember what the other table was). The staff were all extremely friendly and fun, the prices to get in are already more than fair but you can check groupon and get discounts, it cost me and my wife 12 bucks to get in and that includes all 18 holes and the free games, you absolutly cannot beat that and its definately a fun place to take the family. Thank you to ownership for creating a fun family friendly place to go and being fair on pricing in a town where alot of stuff seems expensive!
Jon D — Google review
We received free tickets for this mini golf, and it was absolutely worth doing for free. I loved the bright colors, the ocean theming, and most of the holes were challenging and fun. This is a standard mini golf course, though. If you are at Branson for vacation, there may be other things you want to spend your time on. When I'm back in Branson, I likely won't prioritize this experience even though it was a good time.

Came here to burn a couple hours with some friends a while ago, and had a good time. It was very busy, with a crowded, bustling atmosphere. We did the mini golf, which is why I'm giving it 2 stars. It was a little run down and dirty feeling, and was in desperate need of some TLC. Putting greens were wore out, uneven, and lumpy. Also, was hard to find your way around from hole to hole, explanations on the putt cards would have been helpful. Lastly, the sound system was awful. The speakers were blown, distorted and to deafening!🤯 Overall, it was busy, crowded, stinky, load, and a chaotic mess.

This used to be our favorite place in all of Branson: favorite pizza, favorite arcade, and great service. The visit we took in March was awful. The pizza tasted awful and made our family (5 of us) sick. The arcade was priced way higher than we had ever seen before. The worst part though, the service was atrocious! Everyone acted like we were bothering them, like we were interrupting their life. We won't ever go back. So disappointed

Decided to go visit with family of teens for a rainy day activity. Very reasonable priced. Go Carts were surprisingly fast. Bumper cars were fun, especially when you got hit in the Spin Zone. Could enlarge the bumper car area to be able to accommodate more mobility.Black light putt putt was decorative, never could complete Hole 18.

This place is horrible, your kid has to be 5 foot 2 to do ANYTHING on their own, i have a 13 year old daughter who is 4 foot 10 and she wasn’t allowed to do anything. the staff at the front desk told her it was okay because she was much over the age limit but when we got to the go karts the worker very rudely told us she was too short and then laughed about it. So we had to wait about 30 minutes to refund our single rides for our doubles and when that was finally done, the “kind” worker at the go karts told us she couldn’t ride with her sister and wouldn’t tell us why. i hate this place
