Shopping mall
Branson Landing is a vibrant waterfront shopping, dining, and entertainment district located in Historic Downtown Branson, Missouri. It features over 100 specialty stores, outdoor dining with fantastic views, live shows, water features, and a range of mainstream stores.
This is a great place to walk, shop, eat, and drink. We liked it so much that we had to go back a second time before we left to go back home. There is a very nice walking trail along the edge of the water.

Excellent place for walking, shopping, eating and drinking. Some of the restaurants and bars overlook the river. There is also a walkway behind the shops that is good for walking along the river.

Great area while on vacation. The area was recently developed, so everything is new. This is a great spot if you need a break from the kid side of town.
Nathan A — Google review
Do not shop in the summer. Nearly every shops AC is out so you will have a terrible shopping experience. Trying on clothes? Expect a sweetie body had been in it. Most shops are trying, with portable ACs and fans. But the Owners of the landing do not seem to care. It's a hot and exhausting shopping experience. Do not recommend unless you have to

We stayed at the Hilton on the landing and did not go anywhere else. We just wanted to relax. The scenic walk, the scenic train, and renting a pontoon boat were marvelous! Attached are pictures around The Landing!

Lovely evening. Sat on a bench and watched a bus boat go back and forth. Enjoyed the fountains!
Daughterofthe K — Google review
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.

Downing Street Pour House is a cozy and relaxed eatery located just outside of Branson in Hollister, MO. It offers a blend of American smokehouse and English pub classics, providing a unique dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of Branson's tourist attractions. The restaurant features wood-fired comfort food and daily specials crafted from seasonal ingredients. With its Old World charm combined with the flavors of the American South, this stylish yet modern establishment is popular among both locals and visitors.
Had a great lunch today and the food was great. We had been here before but probably close to ten years ago. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was really good but not that hot, added hot sauce. Waitress ,Amber was very attentive but not hovering. Best food we’ve had since we’ve been in Branson all week.
Dan H — Google review
When speaking with the locals, they suggested that the Downing Street Pour House was a restaurant our family had to try. We arrived around 5 PM. The street that this restaurant is located on is probably one of the best parts. There are big wide treets that shade parts of the street, creating that small town cozy atmosphere that people often love. The restaurant is much larger than I originally thought after walking inside. It adopts the theme of a cabin/tavern, lending to a more rustic feel. We were seated by the windows. The view from the windows was nice due to the large trees and cozy atmosphere. However, the worst part about the trip were the numerous flies that were extremely friendly with the guests. It’s hard to eat and enjoy the experience when you’re waving flies off your food and yourself. I would warn you against visiting due to the flies being such a burden, but if you’re placed in another location, perhaps they wouldn’t be an issue. The waitress wasn’t all that impressive. She asked for drinks, and when we said water, she rolled her eyes and walked away. Not a great start for tourists visiting a new town, with our first meal being this one. But when we ordered, she had a look like we were irritating her. So, I’m not sure if she was just having a bad day or if her customer service wasn’t all that great. Either way, it didn’t pair well with the fly situation. We ordered a mushroom burger and a double-smoked pork chop. The burger came with fries. Both the burger and the fries were good, but again, the insect atmosphere made it hard to enjoy properly. The pork chop was also good. Parts were pretty fatty though, so be aware. The grits and broccoli were fine, nothing too special or out of the ordinary. Then we had the dessert, and that was amazing! Even though the plating looked like they just threw it on the plate, the flavors were great together! It was berries, ice cream, and crust, similar to a cheesecake crust. Sweet with a little bit of savory. Overall, if you’re looking for an experience, you could consider this place. However, if you’re deciding between two restaurants, I would try somewhere else before visiting this location.

Our server Lia was on point and had great recommendations. We received top notch service even though she was super busy. The food is definitely rated in the top 5 best places I've ever eaten and definitely the best Rueben I've ever had. The pub had authentic English cuisine you won't find anywhere else in the area and every dish our party ordered was absolutely amazing! We also ordered several drinks and all were astounding. The crew at The Pour House definitely make expertly blended cocktails! 10/10 I highly recommend😁

From the moment we walked in, Downing Street Pour House delivered an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal, fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. We ordered a variety of sandwiches and each one was perfectly grilled, stacked high, and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right, the kind you can’t stop eating. Service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and fast without making us feel rushed. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it really shows in every detail. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and just the right blend of laid back and lively. It’s the kind of place you want to bring friends, family, or even just enjoy a solo lunch. Highly recommend this spot, it’s a gem. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely little restaurant, hidden away in Hollister. This place is an A+! The food is well prepared, and flavorful. The cornbread side has subtle flavors, and i am not used to a white corn bread..... that is not however a complaint as it was delicious. The gluten-free bun was one of the best we have tasted, I almost couldn't believe it was gluten-free. The sandwiches are delicious and made with quality. I love the astatic, set in a Inn built in early 1900. The old English style is really cool.

Absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for a great place to eat you have to go check it out! Everything will melt in your mouth! Wear stretchy pants! We didn’t get a picture of our appetizer because we started eating it too fast before we got the picture. Sorry about that but it was amazing. We got the southern something, but it had pimento cheese and sausage and like crouton bread very good

This was our first time visiting Downing Street (found them on Trip Advisor), and to say we will be back on our next visit to the Branson area, you can count on it. I ordered the prime rib special with a loaded baked potato, steamed broccoli and toast. My husband had the pork chop special with grits and French fries. Everything could not have tasted any better, and Amber, our server, was top notch. She was attentive, friendly, informative and made us feel right at home. The decor of Dowing Street is also very memorable (pictures attached). The tables/chairs we sat at in one of the dining rooms were a little disappointing (seemed more country diner), but the food and service more than made up for it. We did get confused when trying to enter Downing Street. There was a patio door that said to use main entrance pointing to our left. The. Only entrance was to Ye Olde English Inn. Their colors and style didn’t match Downing Street, so we didn’t think that was the right place. We finally ventured in to ask how to get to Downing, and apparently, the two businesses may share an entrance? Not exactly sure, but we found it. The door entrance should say “Downing Street” for clarification. Again, we’re boomers, so maybe it’s an us problem. Again, go here! Soon! You won’t regret it.

Scenic Railroads
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.
Rod B — Google review
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.
J D — Google review
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.

Museum
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!
Victoria R — Google review
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.
Cynthia L — Google review
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.
Linda S — Google review
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. We bought the combo package which included the museum and 5D ride and the mirror maze and the mini golf. You can spread them out over a few days if you want. We enjoyed all.

Nestled in a charming Elizabethan theme, Ye Olde English Inn offers a delightful escape with its colorful rooms and inviting atmosphere.

The cozy accommodations may be on the smaller side, but they exude comfort and character, making for a unique experience. The inn features an excellent restaurant and pub that serve delicious meals in an enchanting setting.
If you love a historical location with a bit of a story, this is your place. Each room has a name which is an English location. Every room also has a journal to log your own missive or adventure to share. There is a decently priced pub located in the hotel that serves the patrons and the public and has a good selection of house crafted old fashions. Though the rooms are not as roomy as the modern hotels they still have several of the same amenities like wifi and rokutv.

Went there with my family and the food was soo bland. burger had no seasoning. the chef salad was also very bland and slacked toppings. my brother got the $19 ruben sandwich and it’s was super soggy from the sauerkraut. my other brother’s burger was also bland. they could of at least put some salt and black pepper on it. my mom said the soup was good and my brothers girlfriend got the nachos. she said they were pretty good. i can confirm they were good. for the price i paid it should be top quality food. The music was soo loud i couldn’t even hear myself think. the only positive about the place was the customer service. our waiter checked up on us every few minutes and was very polite and professional. i wouldn’t even recommend this place if you were drunk on the sidewalk looking for late night food. 1 star. i can’t believe it shows a 4.4 stars for this restaurant. must of been all older people with no tastebuds.

This place is very quaint with old world charm. With all of that you have to be prepared to have a few unexpected things. Like... only one outlet to charge any devices, lights my or may not always work. If you get the standard room it's very small, quaint but small. We liked it and will probably be back. Pub downstairs is great! Little on the pricey side but good. PS this place is haunted 👻 so be aware!

Stayed here for one night after our Hozier concert was canceled. The staff were so so kind. The room was small but very comfortable and the TV was user friendly. The restaurant connected was delicious, and the ambiance was incredible. One server, Sterling I think was his name, was nice enough to text us when there was room at the bar for us since we were staying at the inn, and the restaurant was quite busy. Overall 10/10 experience, awesome atmosphere. We will be returning in July for the rescheduled Hozier date!

A charming historic 1912 inn with friendly staff and lots of character. Rooms are very small (about 10x10 with a 6x6 bathroom), but the full-size bed was extremely comfortable with nice bedding, and the windows opened to a pretty, European-feeling street. Hallway has a smoke smell, AC is just a vent above the door, and there are no fridges or microwaves. The grand staircase is beautiful but not ideal for families with small kids or those with mobility issues. We loved the bar downstairs that played great 80s–90s music until 11 p.m. This stay was perfect for us, though probably not for everyone. We’d stay again!

Horrible small room. No individual hermostat settings and the room ran cold all night. Had to get a space heater. Not quiet all night-- could hear noises from downstairs and upstairs. The TV only had streaming channels so could not watch regular ones. Food in the restaurant greasy and over priced. I had to ask for cutlery. Then they wanted a minimum tip of 20%. Breakfast consisted of coffee with no milk or whitener, packaged muffins and donettes. DON'T BELIEVE THE RATINGS THEY WERE PROBABLY SUPPLIED BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THIS IS AN OLDE TIME DUMP!

He took time out of his schedule to visit with us and recommended sites to see. He made us feel valued. The food and prices are very comparable to other local restaurants. Highly recommended.

Mexican restaurant
Caterer
Cantina Laredo is an upscale Mexican restaurant located in Branson, MO, offering a modern twist on traditional Mexican cuisine. Situated at the waterfront with both indoor and outdoor seating, it provides a stunning view of the Branson Landing Water & Fire Show. The menu features a variety of gourmet Mexican dishes, including upscale versions of classics like guacamole and tacos, as well as specialty items such as the Cameron Poblano Asada.
This was Team Retreat and dinner on a Friday evening. Our wait was about 40-Min. We sat outside as requested. Waitress was Amazing! Food was good. The only issue that we had was one if our teammates food came out incredibly wrong. Good thing she looked at it our there would have been a allergic reaction in the works. It was corrected but a close call. Overall, Great atmosphere, food and drinks. Light show was great also.

The only thing good about this place is if your outside and can watch the water show. The food cost to much for what you get. Our waitress came back only 2 times and once was to bring us food. My friends had nachos. They were so soggy and rubbery they couldn't even tear them apart. They were soggy. One friend got steak. There was only about 5 pieces on top. One my friends was only able to eat a little bit. The other one gave up.

Being a vegetarian, ordered spinach enchiladas and veggie quesadillas. We also had combo dip with queso corn and guacamole. The food was really good, and the service was awesome. We went on a Sunday evening, to watch the Branson Fire and Water show from the patio of the hotel. The experience was really good. There was a small wait time of 20 mins to find a seat on the patio, but was worth enough for having the food and watch the show. The price was reasonable, like 20 to 30$ per head. The staff was very good, and was never hesitant to refill the free chips and providing salsas of different spice levels. Overall, a great restaurant for dinner with a good ambience.

Do not miss this if you are headed to Branson!! Cantina Laredo is not your typical Mexican American fare. It is fine dining. The atmosphere and the servers are top notch. The food is plated beautifully, with care. It is delicious and the prices are not much more than typical Mexican restaurants. The patio and window seats inside overlook the river and the fire/ water show on the river promenade can be viewed from the patio. I have made the 2+ hour drive to eat here and if you are already headed there, do not let the construction downtown deter you. It is a small inconvenience at best and well worth the trouble.

Customers can also enjoy fresh coffee while dining. Owned by Dimitri Tsahiridis, the restaurant has become a local favorite known for its warm hospitality and delicious food.
Wonderful experience, delicious gyro - we had the platter for 2. The owners was our server and that always means great service. Would highly recommend if you like good Greek food. Special note: there's free parking out back and a door to come in from the alley which makes it way easier than parking on main. :)

Authentic Greek in an unexpected place! How cute is this pace?! The food was put of this world. We were greeted and seated. Menus on the table. Short but excellent options. The desert case had the most amazing Cannoli and Baklava. We had the Gyro for two with lamb, chicken, beef. Tender and flavored to perfection 🥰. We will be back!

Absolutely THE BEST Greek food I have ever tasted! I had the stuffed grape leaves for an appetizer which were served warm and perfectly seasoned. Then I had the Greek salad with traditional gyro meat. I ended up taking more than 1/2 home. It was a very hearty salad. Then had a cannoli for dessert. My waiter Dan was very friendly and attentive. It is a family owned business and the family runs it. They are wonderful hosts.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
John E — Google review
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.

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!

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.

I am giving this five stars, but I am very annoyed. I've enjoyed the pizza places in my hometown, and now I don't know if I will be able to. Ordered a pepperoni pizza and a chefs choice calzone. Both were simply done correctly. More correctly than I was aware they could be done. Bouncy soft crust with crunchy bottom and edges. Sauce that tasted like not only was it cooked well, it was *grown* well. Cheese so fresh. I am having a cold slice several hours later and it is still better than anything I am going to find at home. How dare they. Ordered from a delivery service, so cannot comment on service or atmosphere, but just, get it. Unless you’re visiting and you want to still like your pizza place back home.

Very comfortable family pizza place right in the middle of all Branson. We ordered the spicy garlic wings and a thin crust medium 2 topping pizza. The crust was very good, loved it! The sauce was ok, not really spectacular, and the toppings were ok too. It was very covered in cheese.... they don't go skimp out for sure! I will say that the wings... the sauces are very oily. If you're sensitive to oil, I would go with a salad and a sandwich. My brother went here as well with his wife, and they had delicious Ceasar salad. Really, I would have rates this location a 3 out of 5. HOWEVER.... we witnessed very professional handling from staff and management with a difficult customer. I have said MANY times over and over again, that excellent customer service and care will save you EVERY TIME. Do come support this family business when you're in Branson and in the mood for pizza, salad and sandwiches. 👍👍👍

Came in because of a coupon. Spend so much get a free pizza. Well the pizza was good just not as good as the price. Could have went many other places and had more with the same taste. High expectations lead to a bitter letdown. The taste of the pizza was good like I said. Just not what I would expect for the price.

Edit DEC 2021 I am bumping this to a 5 🌟. This year they exceeded everything from last year. Perfect service. Great food. DEC 2020: Pizza was great. We had BBQ chicken and a pepperoni.

The pizza is a little bland, but rescued by a generous amount of salt. Do yourself a favor and order garlic as one of the toppings-- it brings the flavor to a 10. Expect to wait about 17 minutes to get your order. There is a good gluten free selection as well.

Stopped here for dinner. The restaurant was very slow with maybe 10 tables seated. Our server Karrie who was brand new. She had some issues as I ordered a flight of beers, however was attentive. The food we had was good. Fried green tomatoes were yummy. Meatloaf, catfish dinner, Hero melt, and the 5 Alarm Hot sandwich was good. It really was not hot at all.

I really want to like this place. It has a great atmosphere and I like what it’s going for. Unfortunately the service was slow (even though it wasn’t busy) and not the best. Ribeye was on special and cooked to temp but very heavily peppered and not great flavor. Burger overcooked but good. Kids nachos didn’t quite pass the test, manager even told us that most kids don’t like them (why keep them on the menu?). The beer tap is a pretty good varied selection.

First night in town, we picked Heroes to meet up with family. It's right in the strip but pretty easy to get to. They have a good selection of beers so us craft beer nerds were able to find a few that we haven't had before. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. I wish I had a bigger stomach because I loved them but had to stop or I wouldn't be hungry for the dinner. I had meatloaf. The rest of my family had the chopped meat sandwiches. All very good. The server was very friendly and speedy. She got our food out fast and even helped us conspire against my boyfriend to pick up the bill without him knowing. We will go back.

WARNING ⚠️ The corn on the cob comes with a seasoning on it that makes it taste very sour! Wish they would have told us this when we ordered, so we could have gotten it without the seasoning. They got 2 of our 4 orders incorrect. The fried chicken was really good, but the mashed potatoes and the chicken fried steak were cold.

Definite NO! We were seated promptly. However, they seemed under staffed and it took a bit on our waitress. She was worn out but friendly. The decorations of first responders were nice. We ordered Wonton Nachos. The order was ready before we even got drinks! Our first bite we realized why - everything was cold! The dish had a good flavor. The wonton chips were seasoned but had been precooked and setting for who knows how long. It was like getting left overs. They were tasty but not hot and fresh. No I wouldn’t recommend. ******* However, our overworked, kind waitress, took the time to notice we were not pleased with our food. We tried to quietly just ask for the ticket so we could pay out. She took it upon herself to get the dish removed from our bill. Leaving us owing for one glass of tea. She encouraged us to return and try something different. With that said, I cannot recommend the food I was served. The waitress did her best to serve the guests with a smile and honor.

Honestly some of the best service and meal I’ve ever had. My husband and I stopped by on his birthday before going to an event. The waitress was so sweet. We had only 15 minutes to get to our event and I communicated that, she assured me she could get a whole meal out. she brought out our app in 30 seconds. She brought our meals out shortly later. The meals blew us both away. We made it to the event on time.

Start your meal with a banana pudding? Yes, please! I love a good banana pudding, and when the menu suggested starting with it, I couldn’t resist—life is short, so eat dessert first! We sat at the bar during Monday night football and had a fantastic experience. The brisket was tender and flavorful, drinks were great, and we enjoyed some interesting insights about the area from the staff. Their merchandise is also top-notch and fun. Easily my favorite meal out on the strip!

We had a tremendous meal. 3 members of our dinner party had the brisket. It was amazing! The brisket was so tender, I didn't need a utensil at all. It was amazing. The taste was also amazing. I tried the hot BBQ sauce and I didn't think it was hot, but it was very tasty. Another member of our party has the burnt ends and they were phenomenal! So tender and packed with a ton of flavor. We tried the banana pudding for dessert... it was pretty solid too! Overall, food was a 10 out of 10! Our waitress April was funny, very engaging, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We peppered her with questions and she always had an answer. She is certainly a tremendous asset to this restaurant. Service was a 10 out of 10! My only complaint is the lack of condiments. I ordered an unsweet tea, but all they has was the pink packets (What I refer to as cancer packets) as they have been linked to cancer. I would certainly appreciate Stevia as a healthy sugar alternative. Other than that.. this was amazing! They do offer military discounts as well. I will DEFINITELY come back... likely before I head home! 😉

We ate an early dinner and got there around 4:30; we got sat in a section where the waitress had three tables including ours. Our waitress was Betty and although she is a sweet lady, I think Betty should find a different job and not be a server. It took awhile for her to come and take our drink order as she was tending to the guest that appeared to be done eating. It seemed she gets a little overwhelmed with the demand of being a server. We ordered the Nashville Hot sandwich with sweet potato fries and the Burnt ends with the poblano cream corn and mac n cheese. The food was good but we have a better bbq place back home. However, the poblano cream corn was amazing! I would not recommend the mac n cheese or the sweet potato fries (not sure if they were just burnt or what).

I enjoyed our lunch there. We got the bbq wings and Miami sandwich. Onion rings were amazing! Smack your mama good. Fries not bad as well. Very attentive with serving and always busy. Will go again next time in town. Had to take away a star. I’m from KC so biased to best BBQ. Haha.

We saw plenty of commercials and advertisements for this place so we decided to stop in since they advertised burnt ends. I had a burnt in salad and my partner had the burnt ends meal. Maybe we're just used to our barbecue here in Tulsa it's a little different flavor base that we prefer. The atmosphere and service was great.

The wife and I decided on barbecue, so we decided on gettin basted, there were many barbecue places to pick from in the Branson area but we decided that this one had the best reviews. I had the burnt ends brisket and pork belly, and the wife had cheddar bites. And waitress Carmen, was very very pleasant to talk to you. We were there on a Friday during the noon meal the place was packed. So I think we made the right decision to eat at gettin basted.
Roger G — Google review
We were told this was the best barbecue joint in Branson, Missouri. Honestly, I thought this rated three stars but my wife said they were better than that. Definitely not five star barbecue joint. Please don’t get me wrong. The barbecue here is respectable. Lots of award winning BBQ. If you follow me, you’ll notice that I eat a lot of different barbecue and a lot of different barbecue joints. Gettin Basted was mediocre to good. Maybe it’s good for Missouri, but in Texas…. The service was good. Our waiter was a very energetic guy from the Ukraine, he was good The restaurant was a typical barbecue joint. Nothing really special, or bad here. If you’re looking for some decent barbecue, this is not a bad place

Seafood restaurant
"Landry's Seafood House" is a family-friendly chain eatery that brings the flavors of the Gulf Coast to its laid-back surroundings. The menu features an array of seafood specialties, tender steaks, and bountiful pastas, all crafted with the freshest ingredients. Whether you're looking for a romantic date spot or a top-notch seafood restaurant for a family dinner, "Landry's Seafood House" offers authentic flavors and exquisite dishes.
Wait staff are attentive without being pushy. No feeling of being rushed. We started with Patron margaritas...not in margarita glasses...a disappointment... but good. Food was absolutely amazing. I had the stuffed flounder which was melt in your mouth with fantastic flavor. My friend had the planked salmon also wonderful. Appetizers looked great but we opted to share the cinnamon bread pudding which was served with a scoop of ice cream. Trust me...it was large and yummy and definitely share size! It was a special treat, not inexpensive but definitely worth the price for both the food and service.

Got a 10% off from our hotel. Went in for dinner as it was next door, and experience was good. Food was average and didn’t live up to the sticker price, but overall satisfactory. Drink was phenomenal though, actually better than the food, sadly.. Service was top notch. Our server at the bar was very friendly and helpful! It was our least favorite food eatery thus far in Branson. Still, conveniently located and we just walked down to it!

What an amazing dining experience! We were promptly seated and warmly greeted by Kevin, who took excellent care of us throughout the evening. His attentive service truly elevated our visit and made the night special. The food was absolutely outstanding! I ordered the snow crab with a house salad, and I have to say—they were the best, most perfectly cooked crabs I’ve ever had. My dad went with the blackened swordfish and was equally impressed. Every bite was flavorful and expertly prepared. To top it off, we shared the bread pudding and the key lime pie for dessert—both were phenomenal. The bread pudding was rich and comforting, and the key lime pie had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. We highly recommend Landry’s to anyone looking for top-notch seafood and exceptional service. And when you go—ask for Kevin! We’ll definitely be back soon!

One of the best "fine" dinners in Branson. Cool place with an upscale feel, lots of menu options. Clam chowder is worthy but strong on the bacon flavor, good wedge salad and the stuffed, bacon wrapped shrimp was the winner and came highly recommended. Great stop in the heart of the strip.

The food wasn't worth the price. Must admit I was very disappointed. The service was slow... lobster was overcooked... and our server was subpar. We actually wanted a dessert but she didn't ask... just offered to bring the check as of she was ready to leave.

My husband and I were able to reserve a table at Landry’s through the OpenTable app which was quick and convenient. We were able to mention that we were honeymooning in the app and upon arrival we were seated immediately, and congratulated on our recent marriage! That was sweet & meant a lot. To start we ordered two peach sangria’s which were not too sweet, nor too bitter- they were PERFECT! My husband ordered us 12 half shell oysters and fried calamari as appetizers. We loved them! The oysters came with little forks, a small dish of horseradish, as well as cocktail sauce & hot sauce to spice up the oysters. The fried calamari wasn’t greasy and was just the right amount portion wise for the two of us. Our appetizers were both delicious! We also ordered the two chefs recommended citrus salmon & blackened swordfish. Both were great & they were plated beautifully. Our server Ms. Mary Hannah was a delight, providing great service to us as well as local recommendations upon request. She wowed us with intentional decorum. Lastly, we were gifted a bread pudding desert on the house to celebrate our honeymoon! What a treat. Thank you for making this stop on our honeymoon so special! Should we find ourselves in Branson again we will come back and ask for Ms. Hannah by name!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is a privately own museums with displays from private individuals that they have on loan at the museum. The museum has former military working there on most days and will help answer any questions you may have. You will run into Veterans from other eras that may be will to share stories. We hope this display of the Military stays for a long time. We return every time we are in the area as the display to change.

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.

Lookouts
Nestled in the Ozark Mountains near Branson, Missouri, the Branson Scenic Overlook offers breathtaking panoramic views that attract romantics, photographers, and nature enthusiasts alike. This elevated vantage point provides a stunning vista of Lake Taneycomo, Table Rock Dam, and White River. Located on Highway 65 north of Branson, it's an ideal spot to capture memorable photos and admire the cityscape against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery.
We’ve always stopped by the overlook on our visits to the area - but they’ve renovated the whole area since the last time which makes it so much better. There’s some information about the dam, and new paved areas, accessible ramp and railings. Offers beautiful views over the lake and Branson overall. Makes a great place for sunset. Only drawback in our Sunday afternoon was a comedy bus tour that offloaded a bunch of folks snd crowded the area and kept the loud engine running for 10 minutes. Also two pink jeep tours stopped in the 20 minutes we were there. Better to go on a weekday morning.

The view was nice of the Point Royale resort and the Table Rock dam. The actual look out was recently updated. Not much parking. You might be able to park at the restaurant across the street. But you do need to cross the road

We had stopped at the overlook when we were doing the redneck comedy bus tour! We highly recommend it. It was so much fun halfway through they stop at a moonshine taste testing store needless to say the second half was a lot funnier lol the overlook was beautiful. Definitely worth a stop and definitely do the tour.

Took a nice little detour and it was so worth it! The overlook gives you a stunning view of Brandon, and honestly, the drive up there is just as beautiful. Rolling hills, scenic roads, and a peaceful vibe all around. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Small little overlook that gives you a breathtaking view of Branson, Table Rock Dam and lakes whose names I cannot spell without looking it up! 😆. It’s off the main road. There’s plenty of parking and a cute cafe right across the road. I can only imagine the views at sunrise and sunset. I went midday and there were only a handful of people there. So many options for selfies and photos! Here are my two favorites!

Right across from the French café, there’s a quiet spot on the riverside where you can watch the river stretch out endlessly — from the direction opposite the setting sun. A row of houses descending from a small green hill toward the river doesn’t really spoil the view. Even though you’re watching from above, the vastness of the river makes you feel small.

Sugar Leaf Bakery, Cafe & Espresso is a delightful bakeshop located in the Grand Village Shops of Branson. The cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it feel like a charming cafe straight out of Paris or the English countryside. This eatery offers an exceptional array of sandwiches, soups, salads, pies, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, cookies, breads and cobblers.
This is THE brunch spot you must try! Great menu. Delicious food. Quaint decor with a touch of Euro atmosphere. Try the chicken salad sandwich on baked pita bread! Crunchy sandwiches are supreme! Try anything for dessert - everything is spectacular! My new GO2 when in Branson! Super kind staff as well. ♥️

10/10 best BLT I’ve ever had. Basil bread was a nice touch. I was expecting the house sauce to be something sweet, lucky for me it wasn’t. It was more of a mild aïoli. It complimented the sandwich well. The bacon was nice and crispy and the tomato was fresh. My friend and I, who had the BLT as well, were completely silent once we started eating. I had the Beach Water Lemonade to drink. Sadly it was too sour to enjoy. It was like they forgot the sugar in the lemonade, but the sandwich was so good it made up for it.

Not sure why they removed some of the amazing decor, but they should put it back. It's looking less beautiful and more generic. The stark coffee side is sad and I hope they stop stripping this side of It's elegance. What happened to the lemon water? Soggy bread that isn't the same tomato bread. My heart is sad. I was really craving Sugar Leaf. Next time we can just go to Panera.

We originally stopped in for a fresh bakery snack. We ended up ordering a chicken, strawberry, feta salad to split between us. It had good flavor and a good presentation. Just enough with our snack to tide us over till dinner. My wife picked the always delicious rice crispy treat. It was huge. I went with the Blueberry Muffin, which they warmed for me. All of the baked goods would make anyone happy. My wife also has a London fog, cold. This was our only complaint, it wasn't very good.but they do have a full coffee shop attached. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the place has a nice atmosphere.

We visited Sugar Leaf twice during our trip, and it ended up being one of the better breakfast spots we found in Branson. The food was consistently solid, the breakfast sandwich was tasty, and the quiche was also really good. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared. The first time we visited, the latte wasn’t great, not quite the style I prefer, execution and ingredients are more like Starbucks, but the food more than made up for it. It’s a cozy spot with good variety, and overall, it left a positive impression. We’d definitely go back the next time we’re in town. A reliable choice for breakfast in Branson.

This review is for the chili only. Ive came here for years and gotten their famous chili many many times. I dont remember beans ever being in the chili. It was always large juicy chunks of beef and tomatoes and was delicious. On my most recent visit i got the chili and it was loaded with kidney beans. Like 80% beans. Not enough meat. I guess places are cutting costs by adding more beans or something but cmon. Would have gladly paid more for the old recipe.

Little Hacienda is a spacious and inviting Mexican restaurant known for its classic dishes and top-notch Margaritas. The warm atmosphere, complete with an outdoor patio, makes it a great spot for family outings or dinner for two. With consistently good food, including homemade guacamole, taco Tuesdays, and churros with custard, there's something to please every palate and budget.
I ordered a shrimp enchilada, beans and rice and it was so good! The atmosphere is so nice! Great service. They have cute items for sale at the front and the nicest hostesses. I will have to visit again when I'm in town!

This was a real treat. First, the interior isn’t like your usual kitschy Mexican decor. This was fresh and updated. Second, the food was excellent. We had eaten at another local place and were so disappointed there we were hesitant to try another. This had lots of unusual dishes, but we stuck to traditional dishes, chicken fajitas, chicken tacos, tamales and chicken enchiladas mole sauce. All were cooked well and spiced nicely. Lots of flavor. Third, our waiter, Choky, was a high energy person. He was great describing things on the menu and in checking on us. I’d highly recommend this place.

The hostess set us down, she said our waiter would be right over. We had our menus. At the time I didn't know our waiter was more interested in talking to another employee than he was waiting on his tables. The table behind us flagged him down so they could pay their bill and leave, as you was rushing by he said that he would be right with us. Other than the service everything was fantastic, I had the chicken enchilada Verde My guest had the beef taco platter. Drinks were good food was excellent nice atmosphere. We would definitely go back.

We chose to eat at Little Hacienda because we had some discounts and it sounded like the best choice. I walked in and was initially impressed. The restaurant looked modern and up to date. I sat down and the menu was one page, which is usually a good sign, but I couldnt have been more wrong. This was some of the worst food I had in my trip to Branson. The server was curt and rude, she was passing sizzling pans over people's head, and bumping people's heads with her arm as she passed drinks all around the table without moving from one spot. The food was not good. I really have to restate that, the food was not good. The prices said fine dining but the food tasted like unseasoned slop. I had the enchilada Mexicana and took about five bites before my appetite was totally gone. I'm pretty sure the cheese enchilada was filled with Kraft singles American cheese, and the beef enchilada was full of mush that reminded me of dog food. The chicken enchilada was full of what tasted and felt like chicken thighs that had been stewed and kept warm since yesterday. I didn't even eat the rice and beans, although those were the best thing on my plate at a solid 2/10. The food also took about an hour from the time it was ordered to the time we got it. We had a table of seven, so nothing too crazy by Branson standards. I will never eat at this restaurant again and I will not be missing it.

Billy Bob's Dairy Land is a retro-style diner located on the Strip near Dolly Parton's Stampede in Branson. This casual dining spot offers a nostalgic atmosphere and serves up delicious burgers, crispy onion rings, and mouthwatering milkshakes. The restaurant also features dog-friendly outdoor tables, making it a great place to enjoy some classic American diner fare with your furry friend.
Billy Bob’s Dairy Land is such a fun place. It’s small but don’t let that fool you. The food is great (real ingredients) and service is spectacular! Another diner suggested requesting caramel for the sweet potato fries. They will do this if you ask and yum! Make sure you save room for those little pies they have. Sorry, we had it gone before we thought about the picture so you’ll have to trust me on that one. We will be making this a regular stop every time we’re in Branson. There are many pie flavors for us to try!

Great food tucked in the heart of the Branson Strip. Kid favorite: burgers, grilled cheese and shakes. All were great! You will pay Branson prices, but it is worth it. Cash or check only. ATM is in the back. 4 stars for atmosphere, the jukebox music was low and we were not greeted when we walked in. We had to ask if we could take the open table. The servers were lovely, but also mixed up who was meant to wait on us so we waited longer than others that came in after us. We were not in a hurry so it didnt bother us, but I could see how it would bother some. All in all it is a great little spot to get some American grub with good shakes.

Met some friends here and had my pup with me. We ordered and ate outside at some picnic tables located in front of the restaurant. Had a variety of choices, I had the single hamburger, we had the footlong corndog and the footlong chili cheese hotdog. Fries, onion rings and tots. A couple of shakes also. They brought our drinks, food, condiments and paper towels out to us. Even brought my pup a small cup of ice cream. NOTE: At no time was my pup inside the restaurant. So don't get upset at the restaurant. Service was fantastic, food was excellent and was happy they let my pup be outside with me.

Buyer beware! But this is a good thing- my hubby got a double cheeseburger without knowing a single is a half pound patty! He took one patty off to take home! Delicious! The fries were nothing special like the burger though. Also the name is misleading. If we had known a “dairy land” had such good burgers we would have come here years ago! The locals obviously know. The place was packed for being 1/2 hour before closing time and most of them knew each other. We will be back. :)

Burgers are massive and a true value for the price! You'll want to split a double between two people. Fries were perfectly crispy and the banana split was massive and delicious. Remember to bring your cash (no cards accepted), and you won't be disappointed!

Such a fun and cool restaurant/bar! The menu is small but we were more than good with that bc with less choices there’s less you’ve gotta go back & forth to decide which dish ya want. Definitely should try one of their many signature drinks, too, and you’ll even get a chuckle at the names of their drinks/food items. Only downside I’d say there is, is the pizza(s) options. Theres 2 and they’re frozen pizza but plenty of other things to choose from. So overall- Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and great people (employees & customers). We’ll definitely be back. Oh & they even make their own vodka.

Restaurant
Little Hacienda is a well-known Mexican restaurant with two locations in Branson, Missouri. It offers a spacious and casual setting with a warm atmosphere, serving classic Mexican dishes and cocktails. The family-owned restaurant has been in business for 17 years and is popular among both locals and travelers seeking authentic and flavorful Mexican cuisine. The menu features a variety of authentic dishes, including Ranchero Fajitas and tamales, available for dine-in, carry-out, or catering services.
If you're looking for a place with great food and great service, this restaurant is a must-try! Every visit has been consistently excellent, and the staff always make you feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service. My go-to favorite? The chicken fajita burrito—packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. And you can’t go wrong starting off with the queso! Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Just had lunch at this restaurant. The servers were wonderful, and the meal was excellent! Typically, I find restaurant rice and beans to be boring and tasteless. Not so in this eatery!

The chips are made fresh and the salsa is sublime. Highly recommend!!!

I'm not easily impressed with Mexican restaurants in Missouri, but this one checked all my boxes. The service was great, the food came out quickly, and the restaurant is located on a charming street in downtown Hollister. The ambiance was a bit stark with bright rather than warm and cozy lighting, but it was clean and comfortable. Now on to the food: First, all the "basics" were perfection: the rice, beans, salsa, and guacamole. The rice was the perfect texture and well seasoned. The beans were delicious and not too bland. They were smooth but neither runny nor stiff. The guacamole was possibly some of the best I've ever had. Next, I was excited to see my favorite Mexican fish on the menu: fish ceviche. Many places in Springfield have shrimp ceviche only. The ceviche was delicious. Everyone in my group tried it and liked it, even those who aren't really fish fans. It has a nice balance of flavors. Also, my husband's fish tacos were possibly the best I've had in Missouri. I know that's not saying a lot, but I genuinely liked these and they had all the things I'm looking for: corn tortillas, breaded and deep fried, cabbage (not lettuce), and chipotle crema. I was also impressed with my mom's beef enchilada. The sauce was a delicious homemade chili type sauce, not the typical red stuff out of a can. Finally, I'm quite possibly the most picky person I know when it comes to margaritas, and I really enjoyed their top shelf margarita. It was a good blend of sweet and sour, not too strong or too weak, and I could taste real agave. The presentation was nice too. Oh, and my brother's horchata also scored big points for both taste and presentation. It was very good, cinnamon forward, and came garnished with a horchata popsicle! This is now probably my favorite restaurant in the Branson area--definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Branson--and I will be returning.

Beautiful little place. Staff was kind. Unfortunately, just not the right spot for us. Ordered a “top shelf” margarita, specifically asked if they had that with gran marnier, she brought out a mimosa. Asked again, for a margarita and got a pale yellow drink with no discernible alcohol. Plating was lovely but more Fusion cuisine than Mexican. Had I expected Fusion, it probably would’ve been a better experience…but when I was expecting a big cheesy burrito, radish garnish was a disappointing surprise.

WARNING FOR TRAVELERS Be careful what you agree to and sign for. I came in looking for a deal for SILVER DOLLAR CITY tickets. It was the last night before leaving to go back home. After discussing the terms of going to a "special" meeting for time share owners to discuss "how to end timeshare or start the transfer of a legacy ownership". At this time, my daughter and husband were all over the store and we talked about how shes a 1year old . We signed a form stating he would compensate us the amount for the tickets "$200" if we bought the tickets first and then went to this meeting. NEVER was it mentioned that KIDS WERE NOT ALLOWED to the meeting. We spent Our money to SILVER DOLLAR CITY. Went to this meeting at 8AM at EXCURSIONS on day of check out with our baby. We get there and no one tells us that we can't have the kid during the meeting. They offered day care for 2yrs old and above but she's not 2. We discussed the details of the confusion and the miscommunication from the HISTORIC DOWNTOWN INFORMATION CENTER. We could not attend. We drove all the way back to the HISTORIC DOWNTOWN INFORMATION CENTER. Only to be told we would get a phone call. We knew we wouldn't be compensated after all that especially after spending our own money. GALE was the associate that signed us up. Never called us. We called him after waiting for hours before our flight. Only for him to tell us that there was a miscommunication and that IN HIS 5 YEARS OF BEING THERE. HE NEVER KNEW THE KID RULE. Keep in mind he bragged to us about making 3k on his rental properties and his whole RENTIREMENT STORY IN BELIZE. HE ADMITTED HE DID NOT TELL US ABOUT THE KID SITUATION BECAUSE HE ASSUMED WE WOULD DO DAYCARE. SHE DID NOT EVEN QUALIFY. LESSON LEARNED: I told him if you can't even compensate us as a courtesy or let us talk to his manager that he does not do this to other poor parent travelers. NIGHTMARE.

First, I want to start by saying we knew there was a “catch” and that we’d have to listen to the time share to get the discount, however, the multiple deceptions post knowing that is where the problem lies. We wanted to take our crew to Dolly Parton Stampede: 4 adults, 2 kids. It was a great savings. That’s what we “ordered” and were supposed to get when we arrived per our paper and text. What we were also told: time share demo would be 90 minutes. (We really wanted to 8:30 time slot but it was supposedly full so had to wait around for the 10:30 with a long drive home because we weren’t wasting the time before going to SDC the day before.) was told money would be refunded back to my card on Monday/Tuesday after the demo was attended. Ok by me. What we got and what happened: Arrived at the Stampede and only had 4 adult tickets for us. Luckily staff there were amazing and gave us seats based on the text we had. Unfortunately they were a worse view than what we would have had but we had to have 6 seats. Time share had a minimum of 120 minutes to sit through, not 90 like we were told. If you didn’t do the entire 120 minutes you did not get your money. (Glad we didn’t decide to do it before SDC but it put us leaving town even later.) Now the money situation…you do not just get a refund. They give you a prepaid mastercard. So now you have to spend it down to the very penny to use it all which is an annoyance. You cannot draw off the cash, nor can you use it to get gas. Next time just be honest. I hate being lied to. I recommend just paying full price for your tickets rather than dealing with conmen.

The women working there was rude and pushy. They have a sign outside on sidewalk offering super discount tickets to Branson shows. It’s a scam to get you in to try to sell you a timeshare. They will not take no for an answer. The women my wife and I spook to followed us out the door screaming at us because we didn’t want to spend 3 hours at timeshare meeting on our vacation.

Wow! You must stop here for a slice of their cakes. Yes. Multiple cakes. My wife loves carrot cake and wanted to try it. This was amazing. I didn't wait to take the picture I so wanted to eat the carrot cake. I guess he even uses some edible gold. Hence the store name... The chocolate cake made my shoulders droop with relaxation. Dino was there and told us all (4 of us) his story. He gave us another slice to sample and one of his concert piano CDs! Very friendly atmosphere. Loved the food and the people. Thank you for a great experience and memories!

I ordered a slice of carrot cake and 2 scoops of ice cream. The ice cream was good. The cake was dry and hard. Definitely not fresh. The only other slices were frozen, which tells me they are not served fresh anyway. Not what I expected of a cake shop that has a sign outside that says 24 Karrot Cake.

Hook & Ladder Pizza is a family-friendly Italian restaurant and pizza place located in downtown Hollister, Missouri. The firehouse-themed decor adds to the unique dining experience. The menu features specialty pies, including options like taco pizza, all made with fresh crusts and sauces prepared every morning. In addition to pizzas, they offer calzones, subs, pasta dishes, soups, salads, and daily specials.
Talk about an awesome little place. Service was amazing. The pizza was outstanding! Crust was done perfectly. All the toppings were fresh and tasted better than any I’ve had in a long time. The toasted ravioli for the appetizer was good and you can tell the sauce was fresh and homemade. It was fairly busy but we still got all our food in less than 10 minutes. Will definitely come back every time I’m in the area!

White River Fish House is a charming, lodge-style restaurant located along the shore of Lake Taneycomo and the famous White River in the Ozarks. Voted as one of the best seafood restaurants in Branson, it offers hearty country cooking with a focus on seafood dishes. The historic floating eatery provides stunning water views and is a popular spot for locals arriving by boat.
Went here with my grandma, it is her favorite and a very nostalgic restaurant for her. We enjoyed gator bites to start, which were very good along with the sauce that came with it. I got white fish with a creamy sauce with shrimp (do not remember the name but it was delicious!!!) The broccoli and mashed potatoes that I got as my sides were so good. The vines were so cozy and cabin like. It was warm and inviting. Our server was very kind and we even had a good conversation about our stay and events nearby.

The location of this restaurant (next to Bass Pro Shop and on a Barge) is really nice. It looks over the river and we even got to watch the zip liners go. The biscuits at the start were really good.

The White River Fish House was a fantastic dining experience. The rustic atmosphere with river views set the perfect backdrop for a great meal. Service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The food was excellent. The salmon and mahi-mahi were both fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. Easily better than what we’ve had at Top of the Rock Restaurant. What really stood out was the hospitality. The manager even came by to personally celebrate and feed the birthday guest — a memorable and fun touch that made the evening extra special. Highly recommend White River Fish House for both the food and the exceptional service.

The SIX Show in Branson, Missouri is a must-see award-winning performance by the Knudsen brothers. This show features six real-life brothers who showcase their incredible vocal talents without using any instruments. The group has been recognized with several awards and accolades, including 'Best Stage Show' and 'Entertainers of the Year'. Audiences can expect powerhouse vocals, impeccable harmonies, and high-end professional production that sets this show apart.
My sisters and I attended their show last night. We had a blast! The group consist of 6 brothers who do octapela. They sing a huge variety of music with no instruments; just their strong, beautiful and talented voices. They were extremely entertaining, their voices were fabulous, and the energy that they exuded was infectious! We loved them and can't wait to see them again! Highly recommended this show for anyone who wants an enjoyable evening!

Had the opportunity to attend this show last night. Heard it was very good but really didn’t k own what to expect. We enjoyed the variety and were particularly impressed by their Queen set, Beach Boys set, the Sinatra “My Way, as well as their interesting and well done rendition of Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight”. The Barber Rock was cool and funny. All six were talented. Some were not as strong as lead soloists and some songs may not have been the best fit for them, but all in all an excellent show indeed.

A band of brothers that showed quite a bit of musical talent. Unique. Unfortunately I felt a lack of heart and energy in their performance to a barely awake audience that in total filled the first 5-6 rows. Sad. The show needs revamped and… how do I say this kindly: for the love of all that is holy, ditch the worn black skinny jeans and tight T shirts that do not flatter any of your physiques on stage. Gross! As a female, I found that look soooo distracting on a group of mature, professional men. That “look” does not fit in with your identity, does not elevate the performance, but in fact it cheapens it. You are better than that. Packaging matters more than you think, not just about talent. I left underwhelmed, with images of bull-legged cowboys and spiked hair, not able to recall any song in particular that wow’d me but for the brother Chris’s act who served. Some songs were good, some were off but nothing that would make we want to come back, which over shadowed the fact that there was a great unique talent there by making music with vocals. Money not well spent. Sorry fellas!

Last night, we saw a show called Six. They are six brothers that sing A cappella (like Pentatonix). They were really good. They did music from the 60's (like the Beatles) to current (Jelly Roll and Bieber). They even had a boy band set - where they did New Kids on the Block, N*sync, The Backstreet Boys, One Direction. Being a boy band fan, during that set, I was in Heaven. 🤣 #sixbranson #bransonmo #acappellamusic

VIP Tours of Branson offers luxurious guided sightseeing tours of Branson and its surroundings, providing an in-depth exploration of the area's attractions and history. The approximately 3-hour tour covers over 30 miles, allowing guests to appreciate the stunning scenery while learning about the region. Additionally, VIP Tours of Branson organizes excursions to wineries and a distillery, offering a break from typical tourist activities.
The Tour I took included 2 Wineries, a Distillery and dinner. This is an excellent activity to do in Branson away from all the cheesy tourist trap attractions, giving you a chance to enjoy some of the regional wines and a historic distillery while taking in the sites. Tour is very well organized. The Bear Creek Winery is in an amazing location with great views from the deck. Driver was very friendly although I'd recommend being proactive about asking questions about the area as the tasting and dinner is the focus, this isn't a sightseeing tour per se outside the 4 stops. Dinner was downtown in the new area of Branson and food and service were good but not "gourmet" about what you'd expect as this isn't a foodie tour. You have a choice of chicken, steak, or salmon. Given the reasonable price for the whole experience though, if you are a steak connoisseur I'd skip the steak, not bad at all, but the Salmon and Chicken are in my opinion better options if you are finicky about your steak.

I scheduled the VIP Christmas Light Tour back in November and planned my entire Branson trip around this tour. I schedule it originally for 12/13 but immediately cancelled that one and rescheduled for 12/14. I received both the cancellation email for 12/13 AND the new confirmation email with the updated tickets for 12/14. When we arrived in Branson on 12/13, we scheduled other excursions around this tour. The tour was schedule for 8pm on 12/14. At 2pm on 12/14, a rep with the tour called me to say that they had a cancellation and a rebook in their system but thought it was a fluke and didn’t have me in their roster for that night. I told her that was impossible as I have a confirmation and tickets and she said that they did not confirm them but that Tripster did. Why didn’t you call me in November or better yet, why did you wait to call me until hours before? I told her I planned my entire trip around this tour and she was like “well, not sure what to tell you”. She was incredibly unprofessional and unsympathetic and could not give me a good reason as to why I was just now being called. Thankfully, Tripster was very helpful and immediately refunded me the $122. We then got tickets to the holiday light show at Big Cedar Lodge for $30 and an amazing experience. Think twice before booking anything with this company.

I have been on this twice and it was amazing. As another person complained, yes they stop for you to get out but that is on the itinerary so you should know this before going. It's a small part and if you have mobility issues it should not keep you from enjoying the experience. The owner is very attentive and it may take him a little bit to get back to you as he is very involved in the business and is a driver himself. Every driver that we have had is very nice and accommodating and will do pretty much anything you need.

Specialty Museums
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!

White River Kayaking & Outdoors offers a unique experience for adventurers looking to explore the natural beauty of the White River. The area is rich in history, with legends dating back to the early 16th century when Osage Indians hunted bears along the river. Visitors can choose to embark on a guided kayak tour or explore the waterfalls, bluffs, and caves on their own.
This place has a great setup. You put into the water at their shop, we did the 2.5 hour option, when you are done they pick you up and take you back to the shop. This was my son's first time kayaking, we both really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

To begin the trip we waded in water because the parking strip was under water. Watching the current I was so very nervous!!!!! Trisha not only made sure we were comfortable and ready she was very informative! With this being our first time on the fish hatchery route we wasn't sure what to expect. It was better then expected and would go again and again. Thanks for the memories!!!

We found this place online and thought we would give it a try. Incredibly glad we did! It was our 4th time kayaking so we opted for a guide - it was Patricia. She was so knowledgeable about the area, pointed out things we would have missed, yet kept it casual. We booked it on line. The place is easy to find and is a great value. Beautiful scenery as well as birds, otters, and fish! Patricia gave us a suggestion for BBQ, Danna's. There are 2 things we will do again if we ever make it back to Branson, White River Kayaking with Patricia and grabbing another bite at Danna's.

Great time-beautiful scenery. I wish they could post better signs along the way but they are not allowed to. They do give a map with landmarks- the five hour float is 9 MILES, and there is NO CURRENT, so be prepared. hahahah

My family LOVED the experience with White River Kayaking & Outdoors! We did the Turkey Creek float where we went up river however far we wanted to go and then just floated back down to the shop. It was awesome! The waterfall was dry when we went, but was still cool to see. We stopped and ate at the Monkey Island. The water was cold and beautiful! We will be back again and again! The staff was so kind and friendly. They have everything you need at their shop!

Lots of fun and relaxing. You’re given minimal instruction and told where you’ll be picked up, and sent out to enjoy whichever trip you choose. Boats running up and down the lake but the kayaks were very stable and tipping in a wake seemed to be very unlikely. We did the Tanglewood trip which I estimate is 2-3 miles. For the reasonable price, it is completely worth taking a trip.

While in Branson I wanted to do some kind of kayaking and after reading reviews I decided to go with White River and I had the BEST experience! I opted for the 2 hour float and the price was super reasonable. The guys I talked to on the phone and who worked at the location were so friendly and helpful. We were actually allowed to have the kayak pretty much until we were done which was nice. The float was pretty scenic, I saw a bunch of turtles, geese and ducks. There were several small “beachy” areas along the float you could pull up your kayak and rest. I didn’t get to make it all the way to where the waterfall area was but overall my experience was fun and relaxing.

For an additional activity around Table Rock Lake we decided to bring our own kayaks and float this stretch. We chose to put in at the fish hatchery and then downstream to White River Kayaking which took us about 4 hours with the last quarter of the trip quite slow current so a bit more paddling. White River Kayaking did a great job in getting us shuttled to the hatchery, explaining the trip and providing a map, and good, friendly service. I would recommend them to others looking to enjoy some kayaking.

Vasken's Deli

Deli
Vasken's Deli is a Mediterranean eatery that prides itself on using the freshest ingredients and serving up mouth-watering dishes in a modern and inviting setting. With recipes passed down through generations, their menu features delectable options like hot sandwiches with pastrami and cheese on wheat hoagie, as well as curry chicken served on a bed of green leaf lettuce salad.
Came in for a light lunch about 1:30pm and it was excellent. Rosa's Mediterranean Turkey was delicious (not light, I know) and the half turkey sandwich with small Greek salad was perfect. Fresh and tasty. If the pita is not freshly made it sure did taste like it. Would definitely come back.

I have wanted to go to Vasken’s Deli since I learned that they were in Branson and had baba ghanouj. We decided to go there after hiking today. I ordered the trio of sides with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki. The dips were all yummy and the bread was squishy and warm. Absolutely delicious. My husband ordered two chicken Shawarma’s and he said they were good. We had unsweet tea, which was also refreshing and tasted good. I love how it looks inside the restaurant. I love the colors. I love the ceiling and I love how the table tops all go together with the look. Nice atmosphere. The worker who took our order, while she was not unfriendly, she seemed rather jaded. That was the only thing I mark down from this visit. When I need another baba ghanouj fix, we will absolutely go back.

Stopped in for lunch on the way out of town and I'm glad we did! My Muffaletta was SO good. My mom loves a Gyro and they say theirs is "famous" , so she gave it a try. Thumbs up. The pasta salad side is nice with the extra veggies and they're finely chopped, so no weird chunky bites. She got our lunch and after eye-balling the case, I decided I was getting dessert. They have beautifully made truffles, so I got a variety of those, and you don't leave a place like this without some baklava. Both the classic Pistachio and Walnut were available. I ordered both. 😆 Cat and Casey were working while we were there and we gabbed as our food was made and truffles gathered. So nice. If you're ever in Branson and are looking for something fresh to balance out the fried chicken and funnel cake, come try Vaskin's Deli. You won't regret it.

We were in town this summer for a Convention, and were looking for a place to eat. My wife suggested we try Vasken's Deli. It had good reviews, so it should have been a sure winner. And it was. The odd thing was, when we got there, the parking lot for Vaskens was practically empty. A little nervous, I led us inside, expecting the doors to be locked and the store closed up, as some things are in Branson. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were all friendly and there were wonderful things to eat on the menu. We had their Peperoni pizza for my son, who is neurodivergent so it's always a little dicey on food with him, but he loved their pizza. My wife got the Italian Chicken Salad. I got a Greek Salad with Chicken I think (it had Bleu Cheese on it). The salads were excellent. The chicken chunks were dry-rubbed slices of breast, cooked to perfection. All of the ingredients were fresh. The place was spotlessly clean, no flies, no trash, no dirt. Immaculate. The counter had a wide selection of desserts to choose from. We chose the chess and pecan pies. We were NOT disappointed. Both were melt-in-your-mouth good, perfectly sweet, just the right touch of salt.

Absolutely would come back again. Food was top tier for the price, and the vibe in the deli was electric. I recommend this place to any tourists looking for cheaper healthy food options.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. My husband had the famous gyro With potato salad. Loved the taste and freshness of everything. I had the Mediterranean salad which was so incredibly good loaded with veggies and olives and the perfect amount of dressing. With a side of tomato basil soup. Delicious!! We’ll definitely be back!!

I can’t count the times I’ve driven past Vasken’s Deli, but I’m so glad we stopped in today. They have a wonderful selection of deli classics and pan-Mediterranean fare, and it’s delicious! The gyro was flavorful and packed with fresh toppings and the Rosa’s turkey was excellent as well. In a town of oversized portions and overdone presentation, Vasken’s is a fresh bite and a refreshing change of pace. The desserts and truffles are excellent as well! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, helped us make our decisions. We will certainly return many times!

This is a great deli. Love their chicken salad sandwich with chips. Usually get a side of spicy peppered hummus with tortilla chips. Pretty much self-serve. You order and pay and when it's ready, you go up to the counter and pick it up. Also responsible for clearing your table and putting things in the proper bins. Usually quiet atmosphere. Family friendly. Also serve desserts.

The restaurant, named after its owner Dave Anderson, has been serving up authentic barbecue meals for over twenty-five years. Guests can indulge in their award-winning spareribs, Texas beef brisket sandwich, and a variety of homemade sides and desserts.
The food was sooo good, I had the burnt ends and they were delicious, super tender. The beans were great and the cornbread was some of the best I've ever had. We got the brownie for dessert and it was wonderful! Our waitress, Famous Harley was very friendly and personable. It was a little loud but it's still tourist season and it was dinner time so we understand why. We will return!

Full disclosure, Famous Dave’s is my favorite restaurant. So much so, on our trip to Eureka Springs, we went to Branson specifically to go here. This location was just as good as others I’ve been to. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. We always get the Feast but I also had to get Dave’s Ultimate burger as you won’t find a better burger anywhere. If you’ve never been to a Famous Dave’s, go now!

I got the BBQ Nachos (with Shredded Chicken) and man o' man! Their amazing, some of the best Nachos I've ever had! And the cornbread muffins, the consistency feels like cake! It tastes so good 😋 not to mention we got our food within 10 - 15 minutes!

This is a fantastic spot to satisfy your thirst at The Landing. A remarkable assortment of locally crafted beers awaits, with the option to try samples. The Good Elf lager was impeccable. Additionally, they offer wines from nearby vineyards, delectable food and desserts, as well as indulgent hot cocoa. They even serve wine smoothies! There is something for everyone here! The atmosphere is lively and playful, while the service provided is top-notch. The establishment itself is immaculate and elegant.

This place came recommended as whenever I'm traveling I'm trying to sample the local/state wide craft beers. The only non Missouri craft beer they had on tap was Michelob Ultra (haters of craft beer are gonna hate) but everything else was from the state, the bartender was both friendly and knowledgeable, and overall it's the type of place I'd hang out and drink beers on the regular of it was in my hometown!

Nestled in a picturesque lodge setting, The Keeter Center-Dining offers an enriching farm-to-table dining experience with its emphasis on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. As part of the College of the Ozarks Work Education Program, this student-run restaurant provides classic American lunch and dinner options along with a delightful Sunday brunch buffet featuring live instrumental music. Dishes like Potato and Leek Soup, Tomato-Bacon Jam Burger, and Field Mushroom Ravioli showcase the diverse menu.
What a wonderful place to go! Everything is perfection. The students here work their way through and earn the tuition. We ate in the dining room where the food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was a party of eight and almost everyone got a different dish so we could taste the different cuisines. The campus was well maintained and beautiful. Everything seemed to be just pure perfection.

What a wonderful experience right on the campus of College of the Ozarks. Staffed by students of the college, we had the opportunity to learn a little about college life on campus and even better enjoy some amazing food. Seth, our waiter was engaging and met our every need. I would highly recommend this place anytime you are near the area. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, attentive server, and beautiful campus/restaurant. There were a few hiccups in service (which is why the soups were after the entrees in my camera roll) but I assume most patrons are more accepting of the mistakes knowing that people who work in the restaurant are students. Have I mentioned that the food was delicious?

We recently had the opportunity during fall break to visit the Keeter center. We walked around the campus and it was beautiful. We went to the museum, and purchased gifts from the gift shop. My son who is in a hospitality program in Oklahoma enjoyed speaking with the other students. All of the tea and jams we purchased in the gift shop were delicious. We ordered four entrees, an appetizer, and drinks including an iced coffee, all which were delicious. The service was excellent from arriving until we left. The bathrooms were also very clean. Our family of four spent $123 after tax for an appetizer, entrees, and drinks! This is an excellent Caribbean offered to these students. Anyone in the area should definitely go out there for lunch or dinner. During my previous trips to Branson I didn't realize how close it was to the Landing. This is a great place we really enjoyed and will definitely make another trip on our next vacation to Branson.

Delicious food. Slower pace dining. Chicken fried chicken or salmon were our favorite entrees. The peach pepper jelly cheesecake was delicious!! Loved the apple butter with our bread. 4 slices of fried green tomatoes on appetizer, there were six of us, would have appreciated the waiter mentioning that we might need two.

This was an exceptional dinner experience for my wife and I. I'd say this is a hidden gem that a lot of folks from out of town don't realize is just a 10-15 minute drive away from Branson. I'll start with the atmosphere as there was live piano music in a spacious dining room with a very jovial vibe and feel. The exceptional service started from the moment you were greeted at the hostess stand and didn't stop until you were out of the building. Literally we were told to enjoy our night by three or four different folks. Our waiter Ebin was courteous and kind with a willingness to answer the questions we had. This student led staff didn't miss when they introduced themselves, took orders and delivered your food. They also sang happy birthday to several tables while we were there that added to the overall experience. The food, if everything else above isn't enough to get you to try things out this should be. We started out with the charcuterie board and it delivered. The salami and cheeses were great matches with the toasts. As someone who doesn't always enjoy brie this was a mellow but creamy surprise that paired with an olive or pickled onion was great. I'd say the board was good for 4 people though we just kept eating more. Then came out the bread basket that contained two dinner rolls, two biscuits and three different butters (regular, strawberry and apple). The handmade biscuits with any of the butters was my favorite, they will even refill your basket if you'd like. My wife also enjoyed the Camp Lookout beverage that was made with grapefruit and lime and it was very refreshing. They have Coke products but no Coke Zero yet. My entree was the KC strip and it was cooked to a perfect medium with whipped potatoes and asparagus. Each was well seasoned and went well with the steak. My wife made a great choice and it was the meatloaf dinner which consisted of a moist bacon wrapped meatball with mashed potatoes and green beans. The portions are adequate for the price but not so large that you feel like you shouldn't eat it all. Definitely save room for dessert as I truly enjoyedy carrot cake with some decaf coffee. You could have fooled me that it was gluten free!y wife had a waffle cone with browned butter pecan ice cream and even with just getting the single scoop it was almost more than she could eat. Of you find something you like there is a decent chance that you can find it in the general store just outside of the dining area. If you haven't been here you are missing out!
