Museum
And Attractions Reviews
57th Heaven Car Museum
Every model of car that was made in 1957 is shown in this museum in pristine condition. Seeing the CONVERTIBLES AND HARD TOPS will bring back fond memories of days gone by for the senior citizens. They are so beautiful that you will want to have one in your garage. There is one model that was manufactured by General Motors that is a cross between the Chevrolet Bel-Air and the Cadillac. There are only 6 in the world, one is here. Any older person will want to see this, and younger people will want to see history, not available anywhere else.
Celebration City
How long has it been since you have gone to a carnival or State Fair? Here is Branson's version of the CARNIVAL AND STATE FAIR. There are roller coasters, bumper cars, go-carts and midway games. The day ends with a firework and laser Light show. Opens at 3:00 PM and closes at 10:PM.
Dinosaur Museum and Haunted House
These museums and tours are very entertaining. The HAUNTED HOUSE is very enjoyable and scary. The monster section is very detailed and frightening. Have your group stay together during the tour. It makes it better that way. Not for the very young children. The DINOSAUR MUSEUM is very educational and interesting. It will take a good hour to go through it if you read all of the placards that you see along the self guided tour. Very enjoyable and cheaper if you buy a combo ticket.
Ride The Ducks
A very interesting mini-tour of Branson. You ride in an amphibian vehicle from World War !!. The BRANSON LANDING location tours Taneycomo Lake and the surrounding area. It was newly added this year. It is approximately 60-75 minute tour. The HIGHWAY 76 location tours Branson and Table Rock Lake. It is approximately a 75-90 minute tour. One of the children,, maybe more, will become the captain and drive the vehicle. You go into the water in the same vehicle that you ride on land. Nice tours of the area and lakes.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
There are so many displays of mementos attributed to Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. I really enjoyed seeing NELLIE BELLE, TRIGGER, AND BUTTERCUP. It brought back many memories of my youth. There is a continuous movie clip of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans in the museum that is really neat. Take the time to watch it. There is a very touching display of the last letter their son wrote before he died in the army during the Viet Nam War. Many of the items sold in the 50's are displayed.
Shepherd Of The Hills Homestead Tour
Ride through the hills and see the original homestead made famous by the book written by Harold Bell Wright. You ride in an OPEN AIR TRAM that is fairly comfortable. Interesting and educational to all. Don't forget to see the Outdoor Drama. One of the best shows in town.
