    My husband and I really enjoyed the museum. We spent about an hour and a half going thru it. While I didn't read EVERYTHING - we did take our time to learn more. The group that came in with us must have been gone in less than 30 minutes as we never saw them again! haha! I loved having the personal card of one of the passengers - and found their name on the wall near the end of the tour - and thankfully was a survivor! I also found the name of a woman passenger from Lexington KY - she also survived! Very little was said about Molly Brown - in fact I just saw her name listed as a survivor. It was interesting to see the model of the ship, the recreation of the famous stairway, and other artifacts. Very sad to see the names of all those who perished - categorized as 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class, etc. I know there have been other traveling versions of Titantic but this is a permanent structure and the building is shaped like the ship.

    Husband and I thought we’d take a few days of Vaca up to Branson, MO to go bust, see and do some things. On Sunday, July 2nd, 2023 we decided to go visit the Veteran’s Memorial Museum, it’s always a fave on our list. They definitely have updated and upgraded since last we visited. We are a Military Family on both sides of our Family and our oldest Son served our great Country for near 10 years! If you LOVE OUR MILITARY MEN/WOMEN AND OUR COUNTRY THIS IS A MUST TO VISIT on your trip to Branson, MO! It NEVER DISAPPOINTS! We appreciate ALL THE MEMORABILIA to look at, to read and see and to those who have selflessly donated to any and ALL VETERAN’S MUSEUMS for without these resources and contributions people like us wouldn’t be able to go back in time and see the heartbreak of the Wars, see the incredible sacrifices made from the beginning then up to now, see how situations and circumstances have altered and changed History and this World we live in. Please go pay your respects to the Past, Present and Future. Please go understand the intricacies and difficulties of the Wars that has happened and many have experienced. Let it soak in, let in change you, let it melt your heart and give many thanks to our Military Service Members and Veteran’s and for the POW’S who are still missing and to the One’s who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Again, it’s a privilege to be able to see and take in all of these things. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

    The first thing I'd like to note is that for the price, I thought it would have some more figures. My boyfriend was hoping they would have some Presidents, but there were none, just famous people from music and movies basically. They really didn't have any of my favorite people either unfortunately, but they do have modern people and people from farther back, so I would say this place is good for all ages.
    We also really enjoyed how each set of people got rooms that were themed to be like the movie they were in/stage they were on, etc. so it really added to the atmosphere.
    The included props for photo-taking was also nice as well so we were able to get some pretty cool pictures!
    We also asked a staff member if the figures were accurate height-wise, and we were told that they are accurate within 1 inch. Seeing how tall/short some of these people were was quite fascinating!

    Both attractions were worth every penny spent. The giant size retro video games were the best. Will highly recommend to any one I know going to Branson.

    Lots of cars from my childhood. Kind of partial to KITT! Most of them used on set. Cool memories. I would recommend this place

    The man that runs this place is so informative about everything in this museum, you can spend hours and hours in there if it’s your thing! My family loved the history of all the lures and everything in it, well worth the entrance fee!!!!

    This is a relatively cheap entertainment for the kids if they are at that age of enjoying dinos and want to learn about them. The place, however, is a little outdated. The "hands-on" activity is closed so you pay only to walk around supposedly life-size dinos made out of plastic. The entire walk was about 10 minutes but we also set in the tiny movie theater area to watch a brief dino documentary. The receptionist was very friendly and we were told that we can walk around the dinos as many times as we wanted. So we did do three walks since our little one was curious and wanted to read each dino description. Fun for a brief visit and good choice if you need to fill-in a time slot in your Branson schedule of events.

    You should take an hour and see this museum. Free admission (but it's nice to drop a few bucks in the donation jar). Lots of items on display and this history of Branson. They even have a nice documentary video that you can watch.

    We’ve passed by this location a few times while we were visiting the Branson Landing. Daughters really wanted to check it out, so we finally decided to pay the admission to see what treasures this museum had to offer. Admission is rather pricey at about $25 per adult and $10 per kid. They do have a family pass, which can save a few dollars.

    Once inside you get to view and explore their multiple exhibits. There’s a lot of information about pirates and other old maritime stuff. They also have some information about more recent technologies and exploratory practices used to reclaim things that were lost at sea. There’s wide collection of different items and objects that were recovered from shipwrecks (or possibly good replicas in some cases). Kids enjoyed the many different interactive exhibits that allowed them to do more than just look at stuff.

    Self-guided tour through the building, so you can set your own pace. It took us a little less than an hour to get through most everything, which included letting the kids do the various interactive displays a few extra times. Admission does allow you to leave and return on that same day, so you could visit multiple times if you wanted to revisit while you’re there (such as taking a break for lunch). However, we didn’t really feel much need to go back after being there for the hour.
