Excellent value and really interesting collections. We spent 3 hours here with kids, and would have stayed longer if it was just us adults. There a couple exhibits kids can interact with, but much of the museum is hands off. My kids liked the quilt activity and the animal taxidermy. The bird, gun, and pipe collections are impressive. The tractor museum is just down the road and is free admission, so don't miss it if you like exquisitely restored machinery. The student workers were all friendly and professional, and were very patient with our kiddos in the discovery room.

This is a low-key dinosaur museum. They have their own free private parking spots. The museum is…read morelarger than it looks, but is not huge. You start and end your tour in the museum's gift shop. They do not have any animated dinosaurs, just a bunch of life sized statues of them. The museum offers a scavenger hunt, where you find 10 gold fossils throughout the museum. If you successfully complete the scavenger hunt, you get 10% off your gift shop purchases. I found the scavenger a bit distracting though. My kids were more focused on the scavenger hunt than enjoying and learning from the museum. In addition to the many dinosaur statues, the museum has pre-historic human skulls, fun facts, fossil imprints, and a very small theater where they have a dinosaur movie playing on loop. It took us about 30 to 45 minutes to go through the entire museum. And they seemed pretty common for all the other visitors that I saw. The gift shop has toys, stuffed animals, coloring books, posters books, and other novelties. The museum's dinosaurs are realistic, well put together and I enjoyed my brief time there. It is one of the more reasonably priced attractions in Branson, but is not a big time consumer. Be sure to check their website. They listed a code word on there to use when I purchased tickets that saved me $2 on adult admission. They will not volunteer this information, so be sure to look. The word I used was DINOROAR 2023. Not sure how long that word will be valid though, so I would just double check before you go.

Great way to spend an hour one of the reasonable prices attractions in the area. Lots of dinosaurs…read moreand stats and explanations to see the kittys that follow you on your journey makes it really fun too. They also have a theater with a couple videos of dinosaurs.

Chris and I love golfing, so if we spot a mini golf course and have extra room in our itinerary,…read morethere's a pretty good chance we're adding it! In Branson, that turned into trying all four attractions included with the Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center's All Access Pass. Shoot for the Stars Mini-Golf was one of the coolest themed courses we've played, with Hollywood-inspired holes and props throughout. We also tried Castle of Chaos, an interactive shooting game where I naturally have to mention that I came in first out of eight people. I guess growing up on a farm finally paid off! Hannah's Maze of Mirrors was surprisingly challenging. We actually got turned around, ended up back at the beginning, and had to go through again--so pay attention to where you're going! We finished with the Hollywood Wax Museum, where the comedy section was our favorite. Some of the figures looked so realistic that we kept saying they need to sneak a real comedian in there one day just to scare people. The All Access Pass is a fun option for couples, families, or groups looking for something a little different to do in Branson!

We had so much fun at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Branson! It's a must-see for movie lovers and was…read moreone of those rare activities that entertained our entire family, which is not always easy with our mix of personalities. It was definitely a little pricey, but honestly, we felt it was worth the money. I would recommend getting the trio package so you can enjoy the other nearby attractions as well. My biggest advice is to take your time! We moved through it pretty quickly, and if I did it again, I would slow down, take more pictures, and really soak in the experience. They had so many great props that made the photos even more fun. Definitely bring your camera and enjoy the memories. We had a great time!

Cool museum but be VERY CAREFUL buying a car from them. Less than a star would be more of my…read morerating. I bought a vehicle that was on display, (28K). It looked cherry. Engine, inside, outside looked nice but the engine was shot. They wouldn't let me test drive it off the premises so I couldn't tell much just driving it in the parking lot. It was running badly but like a lot of classic cars I thought it was cold and needed to warm up. I got it home and it was still running badly. I called them back and I got the message machine. I never heard from them again. I had the carburetor adjusted, didn't help. I put new plugs and wires, (tune up) didn't help. I changed the distributer. didn't help. Checked the compression, THERE IT WAS. No compression on every cylinder. I called again, no answer, left a message. Never heard from them again. Out enjoying the money I just gave them I guess! I'm rebuilding the motor now. It's been a little over a year since the parts are hard to find for a Buick 340. Again, BE CAREFUL AND CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY!

Museum pretty interesting place to see. The dickhead at the ticket counter killed it for me. Rude…read moreat reception upon entry. Then as we left literally watched him scream, belittle and act a fool towards an elderly man who was trying to load his handicapped son in their van. Would never return after the witness of his behavior towards patrons.
