    Excellent doesn’t adequately describe this show. From start to finish this family works 100% to give what you pay for; entertainment.

    We were part of a bus tour. The Sight and Sound Theatre was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The performance this season is “Queen Esther.” It was tremendous. There is a wrap around stage so you don’t want a front row seat, further back is better. The cast did an excellent job. The scenery was phenomenal. It’s a good Bible story presented with perfection. Family friendly.

    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.

    This is a tribute to Elton John. This is a great show. After seeing it last year, we were happy to see it was playing again while we were in Branson

    It's mostly typical outdoor mall with some local flair. Quite touristy, so expect to pay tourist prices and you won't be disappointed.

    This is one of my favorite places in Branson. You can experience the wonderfulness of Butterflies. If your lucky enough you might even get to release one. The personal are very friendly and helpful. If you get their early, when they open, you might be able to miss a lot of children, who don't be quite and screams with a butterfly lands on them or comes near. They will land on you, if you are quite and sit or stand still.

    This aquarium is small but very neat.
    We went after 8pm when the prices were cheaper and we hoped not a lot of people would be there. The employees were all friendly. The 5D ride at the beginning was really cool. You could feel the wind and the water on your face. The jellyfish room was by far my favorite. The mirrors did make me a little paranoid that I would be trapped in there, but they made it to where you could see where to go. The changing of the colors you controlled in the room was amazing.
    Lots of beautiful sealife and some amazing tanks.
    Out in front of the building is a water show with lights and music that is very cool at night. We didn't have any kids with us, but we did see family's stop and watch it with their children. They all seemed to love it. So even if you don't go to the aquarium, that would be entertaining for children.
    We will be back here again just to see if we missed anything the first time

    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!

    We arrived about an hour after the visitor center closed so there was literally no people there but us which was kinda nice. We didn't look up anything to do by the dam beforehand, so we didn't know that the visitor center would be closed but that didn't bother us. We were able to look at the top and the bottom, and it truly is an amazing site from both perspectives. While we were there, we didn't see anything that you could do except walk around so we don't know if we were just too late for everything or if we were somehow in the wrong area.
