Sloth encounter
Sara M.

We had a blast at The Promised Land Zoo. The VIP plus experience was so worth the price and time. We held a baby kangaroo, and had an individual encounter with sloths and lemurs. Just fantastic! We upgraded to the Ultimate excursion and enjoyed the personal ATV tour through the safari. This allowed us to get out and feed the animals in the fenced areas along the route. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, this was the highlight of our trip to Branson.

The Lonely Primate
Lisa S.

We were sad after leaving this zoo. Many animals are kept in small, non-stimulating environments. It's upsetting that these precious creatures have no choice but to live the rest of their days incarcerated, some of them with no companions. Although the animals seemed well fed, that is not enough. They need to thrive by having their mental needs met. Many seemed to just be surviving. One little primate enclosure really got to me, as he sat all alone, looking out the window, longing for a better life no doubt.

This was literally the coolest experience. My boyfriend and I got the vip where we got to meet a few animals before walking/driving around the zoo! We will absolutely be back on our next trip to Branson!

My grandmother and I planned a day to do all the fun things in Branson and this place had to be the highlight of our day. We paid for the VIP experience and absolutely LOVED it! The staff was super nice and friendly, making our time more memorable. She got to interact with her favorite animal and got to learn some facts about them. I will definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends!

Save your money. We did the basic tickets and only drove through. Not much to see really. Was expecting more encounters like open range, but all was fenced in. Money would be better spent at a real zoo.

feeding the parakeets

Definitely worth visiting while in Branson! The price was right and we spent a lot of time here. The drive through portion was great, not rushed at all (we went on a Saturday morning). My son really enjoyed playing at the park and going inside to see the monkeys and he really liked the rabbits. The foot safari was so much fun!! We fed the parakeets and the other animals outside.

Love this place! We try to go at least once a year for the animals and invest Christmas for the light drive through.

The staff gave everyone a handheld nectar container with a fake flower on top and we walked around and enjoyed having them land on them! Also they have binoculars, Safari hats & magnifying glasses to borrow. The mirror maze was a trip! Lol great family fun! For a family of 4 (including 2 children with military discount), we paid $103. A tad higher considering the construction going on but it was fun.

The Butterfly Palace was a great experience overall. Our daughter absolutely loved it, and there…read morewas more to see than we expected, butterflies of course, but also lizards and other exhibits that kept things interesting. It was clean, well-organized, and a nice place for kids to explore without being overwhelming. I'd say it was a pretty good experience for the money. One great tip we learned while we were there: when you buy a ticket, it's good for multiple days. Ours was valid through Monday even though we visited on Saturday, which makes it a great option to do early in your trip so you can come back. The one weird thing about our visit happened outside in the parking lot. There was a camper trailer parked in the covered parking spaces, taking up four or five spots. It was raining heavily during our visit, so we watched older adults and families with small kids having to park farther down the hill in uncovered spots while this camper took up prime covered space. I have no idea what the situation is but it came off like a really poor decision on the part of the owners. That said, the experience inside was still enjoyable, and we'd return.

Feeling a bit hesitant at first to do it on bike but it was the best feeling. It was a perfect 68, clear skies and lilac blooms along the way. The perfection was almost overwhelming. A tram is also available for a round trip adventure but the bike was just too fun to pass up. Along the way we saw all kinds of little critters, snakes, fish and birds. Stopped at the tree house, chapel and most of the waterfalls. On bike with all the stops about 2 hours, walking could easily be 3+. Bikes are $15 each and I highly recommend getting there early so you have your pick cause the good ones go fast. Some have baskets and you should get one of those and then fill it with a picnic lunch. Little under $20 per person for entry, with discounts for veterans, seniors and children. Large parking but the place is popular, so again if possible arrive early.

Didn't love the restaurant, but literally everything else was amazing.

Buy the bucket of feed!!! The animals love being fed!…read more We had the best time in the drive through part feeding deer and bison! All the animals look healthy and have been well taken care of. They will come right up to the car and get food and pets, and no they don't jump on your car. They are extremely respectful Then we enjoyed the walk through petting zoo, they have a lovely group of animals that have been rescued. (Got to see a porcupine, kangaroo. Artic fox, ostrich.) Many we have never seen up close before so it was very special! They also had bible verses posted along the driving path. I loved the whole experience!! On our vip experience Aubrey introduced us to the sweetest ring tail lemur, a very cool turtle, alfalfa the baby Joey and the sweetest artic fox! We had a blast and Aubrey really knows her animals! She has answers for ALL the questions! We can't wait to take our kids back soon!! The vip experience was well worth the money. At the end we got a stick with peanut butter and birdseed and got to feed the sweet birds in the bird room! They were adorable as well.
