It was a cool experience. Admission is like $29 for one adult. First time, we came here it was kind of late so we didn't get a chance to go through everything. They let us come back the next day (keep your tickets) so that we can finish the rest of it. That was great customer service. Employees were very kind and helpful. I did all of the activities that were offered for the general admission. I didn't pay extra. Fun for everyone. I would recommend coming here if you're in town. Very hands on.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly!! We had so much fun at this establishment! I'm a momma and I played all the video games , no shame lol. They have a lot of photo props..they have a lot of FREE video games to play..some history information..it is a great spot for families, couples, kids..They also had a flying ride ! Holy moly it's a virtual reality presentation. Let me tell you, if you're scared of heights but you want the rush..then DO IT lol.

Yes, it's totally a tourist trap but it's so much fun!!! We spent about 3 hours inside and really enjoyed it. They offer the iFly ride but we did not try it out so this review won't include it. Before you arrive, download the Beyond the Lens app. After paying and walking through the kaleidoscope someone will take a picture of you in front of a green screen that they will fill in with dinosaurs, alien space ships and their logo. At this point you'll get a ticket to scan around the place that will take a lot of the pictures for you. So it's like having a professional follow you around during your visit capturing great shots! There are fun photo opportunities everywhere including: the Oval Office, the moon landing, police line up, Bigfoot etc. If you're able to let yourself be silly it's a lot of fun! Around the entire place there are yellow circles. They are found on the floors, walls and on objects within the displays. When you point the app camera at the circles virtual animals appear and move around. When you position yourself perfectly it looks like you are interacting with the animal. It's pretty fun! There are a variety of interactive stations including: VR game (pick a song and break blocks to the beat, sort of like guitar hero without a guitar), VR walk the plank (feel what it's like to walk across a plank on top of a sky scraper to get a piece of cake...if you make a wrong step you will fall...wheeeeeeee!), giant video game controllers to play classics on big screens, giant screens shaped like phones to play popular apps on (Candy Crush, Tetris, Cut the Rope, etc). There's a bunch of other things to do inside including a section about the JFK assassination and related conspiracy theories. Sort of strange and out of place along with the Michael Jackson section where they have 3D noses of Michael through this career. Cringe worthy for a lot of reasons. Overall it was a lot of fun. It is a higher priced activity to do, especially if you have a lot of people you're paying for but still worth a few hours if you're interested. Tickets are around $30 per person not including the iFly ride. I believe Groupon had the combo ticket for around $25 so it's worth a look! Pro tip- if you find all the yellow circles/animals (I think there are 20) and show an employee they're supposed to give you a "surprise". We missed 2 of the animals and even back tracked a bit to find them with no success so, good luck! Pro tip #2- check Groupon for a good deal! Pro tip #3- you get free access to all the pictures you took when you visit the website on your photo card/scan the QR code. They aren't the highest quality but plenty good for a momento of your vacation. Otherwise you scroll through the pictures on a screen in the gift shop where they charge you to print the ones you want.

This place is SO cool! We went because my husband is obsessed with everything Cinema. I was expecting to be mildly entertained and was mainly going for his enjoyment. I was incredibly impressed the whole time. We started out with an Ifly ride that was really cool. Next, he and our two friends did the coolest bumper cars I have ever seen (I wasn't able to participate due to being pregnant). We all said we would come back just for the bumper cars. From the very beginning of the museum you walk through an awesome tunnel with music and illusions. There are places all along to take pictures and they have kiosks that you can scan a card and have your picture perfectly taken for you (with free downloads 48 hrs later). Throughout the whole thing there were a TON of games including nostalgic video games and AR activities. I might have gone a little crazy playing dance dance revolution until I couldn't breathe. We only had 2 hrs there but we will be coming back next time we are in Branson and plan for at least half a day. I could have spent all day in there. The staff was also extremely friendly and asked how we were enjoying everything as we walked through. Could not have been more pleased. The only aspect I would change is to have more seating along the way for those that are not able to stand long periods of times while their companions play their hearts out.

Absolutely loved this place! So much interaction! I played for 4 hours and left exhausted not realizing I had been there that long! I did it all. The simulators, virtual reality games oh my! Don't come for one hour, impossible to enjoy it rushed. Do the interactive photos, that was a blast. The fly one is separate price. But was worth it. Plan to get some wet!

Beyond the Lens has so many unique activities, references to different decades, mesmerizing illusions, virtual reality and old school games (skee ball, large video and arcade games, basketball, dance off, etc.), mini escape rooms, and so much more. Their website and descriptions don't do it justice. It's a must-see experience. Thanks for making this one of our favorite experiences in Branson!

My friend and I had lots of fun exploring this museum! It took us about 2 hours to walk through, but you could easily stay in there for much longer. There was a lot to read and see and explore. We did the Sky Ride which I would describe as the "Walmart" version of Soarin' at Disney. It was still fun though! There were a lot of hands on things and games to play with throughout the museum. We would recommend!

Terrific fun with some great guidance and encouragement to get silly from the staff! This was beyond expectations when a friend and I went. We were able to casually go through the entire facility never feeling rushed and had a great time. Photo ops throughout! Recommended for all ages for when you don't want to take yourself to seriously! Make sure to have some fun making your own dance videos in the music areas! FUN!

Really neat experience. The virtual ride was fun! All of our kids really enjoyed viewing all these iconic spots. The tour afterwards was a blast. We really enjoyed it and it could have easily taken 2 hours. Highly suggest to family and all

This place is so freakin fun!!! We had a blast here! I could spend hours in this place. There is so much to see and do. Lots of interactive games and videos. So many good photo opportunities. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There is also lots of sanitizers around so in regards to Covid it was pretty safe. I can't wait to go back!

This was an awesome exhibit! We were there about 2 hours and everything in the building is pretty much touchable. Video games, trivia, and also some interactive games. There are picture stations throughout the building but instead of taking them with their machines, I suggest taking them with your camera phone. Also, there is one celebrity game that is not appropriate for children that has questions about adult scandals not suitable for children. There are so many rooms to learn things from. By far my favorite room was the room that put you through the decades of gaming. They have something for the entire family. Try to find the $5 coupon online as the do not accept any other offers.

Interactive exhibits, old time arcade games. Many of the interactive exhibits and a few games weren't working. Flyride was just ok. Very short. Photography could have been better. Fun enough but not for the price.

The most amazing place!! Words can't describe how cool it is. If you have kids then this is a must see in Branson. If you don't have kids I'd still go for some fun! It's really cool. I'll let the pictures do the talking bc it's just so much to put into words. Just take my word for it and go he
