This is a great experience! I learned many things regarding WWII and Vietnam during our visit! This is a self-paced walk-through exhibit. The photos and exhibits are amazing. Who knew there were "gas masks" for babies? Fold out preacher's pulpit and organ are on display. There is one room completely covered in pennies in remembrance for each military member to perish in WWII. There are unique items you may not expect. Soda/pop cans from Desert Shield/Desert Storm brought back memories for me as I drank from such cans while in Saudi Arabia during that time. We really enjoyed the thoughtful and reverent manner these items are displayed. There is the USAF uniform from Boxcar Willie's days in the Air Force. Did you know he owned a theatre in Branson?

It was a promo free ticket so we went and really enjoyed it. It was impressive. Nice displays. A nod to local hero’s and the women of service too. If you enjoy the privileges of being a citizen of the USA, then you should visit this museum.

As a lover of history, the Veterans Memorial Museum is by far one of the greatest places to visit if you ever wish to learn about past conflicts. When I visited, every exhibit I saw made me extremely excited, especially the WWI exhibit as I've started getting an interest in the War they say would end all wars. When I have more time, I will definitely be visiting again.

I visited the Veterans’ Memorial Museum in Branson, Missouri and found an excellent place to learn more about the history of our military’s participation in World War I through the war in Afghanistan.
I have been to many war museums and what I found most interesting here was the focus on local (Missouri and surrounding states) members of the military and their efforts, contributions and sacrifices in support of their country.
The staff was courteous and knowledgeable.

After passing this museum several times over the years, we had time available to see it this trip. It was well worth the time and admission charge. Displays are professionally prepared. The exhibits are generally arranged chronologically starting with WWI. The names of all armed service men and women killed in battle are displayed.

The veterans museum was full of great stories from veterans and true heroes of our wars. The walls full of names of men who died to protect our liberties brought me to tears. They had toilet paper from WWII and a life raft for a baby. I didn't know gas masks for horses were ever used.

We have always visited war museums and this one had a lot of stuff. War is hard and to look back on some of this stuff just stops you in your tracks. The walls sure made you stop and realize how many people have died defending our great country.

I was so happy and proud that the veterans are treated so respectfully and honored wherever we went in Branson. This memorial is just one of the many tributes to them. Very nicely sculpted and there is a short history of the sculpture with it.

As an USAF veteran, I enjoy visiting all types of War Memorial Museums. It is part of our past and we should never our past and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The Veterans Memorial Museum does not dissapoint. There are exhibits from WWI through the Gulf War. I truly enjoyed the memorial wall highlighting the names of all who have died during the individual wars.

Takes one through a period back in time that for me had me in tears and my heart full of gratitude and pride. Words cannot capture what must be seen in person. Don't pass this amazing museum up, pull in and take your time studying and reading. And as you leave, you will take with you an appreciation and thankfulness for those who put it all on the line for our freedom! Amen!

we are coming to branson end of July with our. 3 and 12 year old then. will be back for our anniversary in September. would. the kids be interested or think it is more adult geared?
Written July 1, 2017
While the exhibits are very interesting for a 12 year old and quite educational; they probably wouldn't hold the attention of a 3 year old. We look forward to you visiting soon!

Approximately how much time should we expect to spend at the museum?
Written June 30, 2017
Thanks to those who have already responded - their answers are quite accurate. We recommend setting aside at least an hour and a half. Some folks do spend more time when examining and reading the exhibits. We look forward to seeing you at the Museum.

What is the parking like? I am bringing my boyfriend here in February for his birthday, he was military so he loves these kind of these and I am trying to get all of my ducks in a row before we go lol. Thank you!

The parking at the museum is flat. There is parking for cars and buses and handicap parking is there also.

Do the rooms come equipped with hair dryers?

Dear Stevef626, We appreciate your question. The Veterans Memorial Museum is not a hotel. We are a museum with 10 beautiful halls for you to go through at your leisure. There are many hotels/motels in Branson in different price ranges. Unfortunately, rules on Trip Advisor make it impossible for me to send you to our chamber website.
