Give this place a try. Really fun!
Really fun time. The manager and his crew treated us like family and went beyond to show us a good time. I recommend this place especially for families. So much to do and see. Wife loved it too. Take your time with the photo scenes and you will have awesome pics. Five stars all around. PS do the Flyride for something extra special. I should have gotten the managers name because he was awesome!

The entire place was blast! The 360 go carts were so fun. We had 3 teenagers with us and it was a hit.

Fly Ride was a 4+ . Skip the rest of the place.
May 2022
Fly ride was good. For the rest of the place, it is only May and the workers already seemed tired. Other than showing us how to scan for the picture taking at teach exhibit, we were on our own. The one question I asked was answered by a young worker pointing at something which did not answer the question I asked. We just went on to the next exhibit after he turned his back to us.

Great interactive stop!
We did the basic package and enjoyed the photo props and games. They do have stations that will take photos for you which was a plus. This was one of the top attractions I enjoyed. Highly recommend!!!

Love this attraction!
Apr 2022
My husband and I went to Beyond The Lens and Fly Rider. We absolutely loved Fly Rider. It was beautiful and really gave the feeling of flying over the monuments and other sites. I wished it could have gone on and on. We weren't sure if we would like Beyond The Lens, but we really did. The different exhibits were interesting and interactive. My husband loved the chance to experience virtual reality. Good for all ages except small children. I highly recommend!

Teens and up only
This was a unique experience. I think it is more for the teen to adult age group. It is filled with different games and experiences. Many photo opportunities sets. We also did the flight experience which was a pretty cool 3d experience. Probably won’t return until this kid is older. The dark areas, big foot, the aliens, and Michael Jackson in the hyperbaric chamber freaked her out.

Great place to spend a day
We didn't expect to stop by this place when we first came to Branson but after looking at their website we decided it was worth checking out. I am so glad we did because this was my favorite part of our whole trip! We have a 6 & 10 year old and there was lots of interactive exhibits and photo-ops - they had a blast. They had VR games and old-school Nintendo games that kept us adults entertained. We got to play Beat Saber on the Oculus which was awesome. We also did the Fly Ride which was absolutely worth the money. The kids loved the Flip Zone, too. I will say there would not be as much fun for kids under 6 years old but if you're going with older kids this place is a MUST! We spent around 4-5 hours here and went through the whole place twice.

Recommended for a rainy/cold day
Mar 2022
Good time on a rainy day. We have twin teenagers (14 years old), one really enjoyed it, the other just thought that it was "ok". We got a great deal on Groupon for the combo ticket w/ FlyRide, without the Groupon we felt like the experience was a bit overpriced. If you go, we do highly recommend getting the combo ticket for the Flyride, and just an FYI - they will give you a time to be back for the ride.

Fun for multiple ages
We were pleasantly surprised, as we really didn’t know what to expect. Our kids, as well as my husband and I, enjoyed the walk through. There are so many hands on opportunities, as well as photo ops.

A couple tips:
Don’t rush through if you have a reservation for the ride. They allow you to go back in and pick up where you left off.
Make sure to scan your ticket at the different bar code scanners throughout. If you purchase a photo package, that they have taken, you will get the ability to download those where you have scanned.

Nice to reminisce with the video games I grew up with
The video games and information on them was excellent. My kids had a great time. The fly over America experience was very good. The staff was friendly and excited to have us there. The experience took a different turn that I didn’t expect with sections on Bigfoot, JFK shooting, aliens, and moon landing.
