HUGE collections of Native American artifacts - HUGE collection of all kinds of glassware - lunch boxes - giant size crystals (I'm talking 1200+ pounds!) - and dinosaur dung?!?!?!

For the size of the town, this is a 5-star review…read more There are two floors filled with artifacts, history, and stories of before the town was founded, the founding, the peak years, and the status through to today. The first floor (3 connected rooms) covers what I mentioned above - with both artifacts and signs. The top floor has interesting artifacts like a permanent hair wave machine, a scary looking life-sized doll, artwork, and a bedroom set up as if it were 1890. Took us about an hour and 15 minutes. There was a gentleman when we came it (don't know his name) with a beard that was very helpful, explaining stories and artifacts. He left 45 minutes later when someone came in to take over who sat at a desk.

Aviation cadet museum is the same as aviation cadet world Run by two Air Force veterans, this is a tour for any patriot. Expect to be there for about an hour and half. First you will learn the history about cadets and see some memorabilia from the first cadets and model planes. Then you see a rocket launch, a flight simulator, a navigation training plane and a training plane (the only one of its kind) There is a train that kiddos can ride but it was under construction. Outside there are training and fighter planes that you can see up close. One you can stand on the wing for a picture. This is literally a few good men trying to educate the public about what they went through and trying to preserve history. It's close to the onyx cave so don't pass it up!

It also had a cowboy section, a civil war section and a prehistoric section. I loved it and will definitely go back. They have a double pass where you do the nature golf cart adventure (was AWESOME!!) then this museum. I highly recommend doing both. It'll take most of the day and you'll be hungry. The restaurant has good food. I had family from out of town. We did the attractions in Branson the first day and this the second day. It was a great time!

Forget the art pieces. This is a really cool space. Architecturally, it's what I would envision a…read moremodern art museum would look like. I don't have the acumen enough to convey how sick this place is, my vocabulary fails me. You just have to visit it and take it in one angle, one hall way, one vista at time and come away truly impressed. BTW did I talk about the individual pieces on display because they are numerous, vibrant and more importantly- relevant. This is art for the masses. Art has a built in haughtiness but this is more digestible to everyone. The Getty Museum as gorgeous as the grounds are - left this plebeian wanting on its exhibits. Did I mention entrance is complimentary! They should charge. They're worth it.

Why don't they ever answer the phone? The hours on the website say 10 AM, but in many places…read moreonline, it says 11 AM. I called to simply find out when they open. No one ever answers. Generally, no one answers emails. For such a world class museum, is it too much to ask that someone answer the phone? There was a famous speaker there recently, and I had some questions about parking. I am a paid member, and I also paid to hear the speaker. I simply had some questions about parking, and could not find the answer anywhere online. Once again, I called... and no one answered. This is a major blemish on this museum, in my opinion. I sent an email asking for a refund of my membership, but of course never heard back about that, either.

They had turtles, snakes and taxidermy animals native to the area. Was fun and educational. A few of the interactive activities weren't working during our visit.

First…read morestop was @monah_nwa which is a small but very well curated museum of Native American history- much was from tribes and people of this area of North America, but it also included beautiful and well-preserved artifacts from indigenous people of North and South America. Admission is whatever you choose to donate. My teens participated in the arrowhead "dig" in the area around the teepee out front...they got to keep one of the arrowheads they "discovered" and then purchased the rest with some mad cash from their grandma! You need about 2-3 hours to make your way through the entire museum and get the gist, and a bit more than 3 hours if you want to listen about each numbered artifact with the provided sound wand. I'm so glad we stopped for the morning!

This does seem a little sudden and weird but after a revisit of the Titanic Museum I just came back…read moreto say that it is still an amazing attraction. It is really informational and you can learn lots going here. They did an amazing job recreating the Titanic and protecting the artifacts, and most topics about the history were covered. Minus one star because if I died on the Titanic I think I would haunt everybody working the gift shop because 3/4 of the items being sold were actually ludicrous. Of course, I'm not going to name all of them but just know that they aren't the most respectful to victims. It's a nice place to stop by if you're touring Branson, it's a one of a kind exhibit. I wouldn't go again just because I already know the feel of it, but it's great for first timers.
