    My buddy who held back from butzing.

    Super interesting tour with a small group which was nice for the tour. Michael was really informative, welcoming and funny. Put this place on you list to visit.

    Spencer is an amazing guide. Very entertaining with his puns, and knowledge. The Dallas group really enjoyed. If you like spelunking this one is for you. Lots of stairs but super worth it..

    My second time visiting Branson, MO but first time checking out Talking Rocks Caverns. Loved every minute of it. Gift shop has a ton of neat things to look at, the tour guides were very knowledgeable of the history of the caves and very informative. Highly recommend this experience. You do walk all around inside the cave and even get to walk through some tight spaces to take the tour. Wear good quality shoes because it is very wet and you don't wanna slip and make sure you wear clothes you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty because you will end up rubbing against some of the walls as you're squeezing through some spots.

    This was one of the highlights of the trip. Definitely not recommended for overweight/obese or out of shape people. There are some parts that can be narrow but other than that it's a beautiful cave. Cost is like $30 per adult. Ample parking. I recommend coming here if you need a break from the main tourist area in Branson.

    Having been to a few caverns over the years I expected something similar. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a smaller cavern but has a rich history which our tour guide, Ben, explained before leading the small group into the cavern. We were able to experience the complete darkness and a variety of different lighting levels that simulated what people dealt with 100 years ago when creating the necessary elements for this to be an attraction. Here are your warnings. It is wet inside the cavern and you will get dripped on. It is 63 degrees so bring a sweater or jacket if you are sensitive to the cold. The stairs and walkways are VERY narrow, the stairs are steep and wet so wear shoes with a good grip. It is more primitive than other cave tour experience so be prepared. Beyond the cavern there are others things to do, panning silt for gemstones and mini-golf. Worth the trip and the photo opportunities are varied.

    This one was another "mixed bag" for me. I absolutely love caves, have visited many and have several books on the subject as well as having viewed many documentaries. I wouldn't put this one in my top 10 list. The good: beautiful cave formations including one massive column that looks like an angel. And, it is a living cave (still growing which means it is damp). The bad: It is more of a vertical cave and definitely not a horizontal cave. You descend several levels and are looking at some of the same formations from different perspectives. It is steep and in some place very narrow. I'd not recommend this for elderly or very large people. But the biggest puzzler is the name: Talking Rocks Caverns. I assumed there was some sort of concave feature where you cold stand on one side and whisper to people on the other and your voiced would be amplified. Or, perhaps there was an echo since it was so deep. But guess what? The answer is neither. Apparently, they used to position speakers behind rocks and have a voice come out which was startling children so they discontinued the use. And yet the name stayed the same? Odd. PS - they will tell you not to touch some of the formations due to the oils in our hands damaging/discoloring the natural surfaces. But, there is absolutely no way avoid doing this in some of the more narrow passages where it is essential to do so without slipping. So - would I recommend it? Maybe.

    Our family loved it!!! We had a great tour guide Spencer who kept us moving and explained everything really well. The cavern was amazing! What a great rock shop to.

    This was so fun and honestly my husband and I's favorite part of the Branson trip!!! Awesome tour and so informative!

    Plenty of parking. The shops is amazing. So many rocks and gems to look at. The tour is about an hour and is guided. I believe there are about 253 steps so make sure you are comfortable going up and down stairs. There are some snug areas to walk through or low lying rocks. We really enjoyed this. The cave is much warmer than other caves we have been to, about 60ish degrees. It is wet throughout so be prepared to get shoes wet. Our guide was very informative and kind. Definitely recommend.

    The cavern tour was awesome! Our guide was great, I wish I could remeber his name. He made it super fun and was very knowledgable. The employees were all super friendly. We went on the hike too and I would not recommend that. Spider webs everywhere and it was not anything special. Rather miserable lol. I tried the Speleo box and it was pretty painful and challenging towards the end. It would have been easier if I weren't hot and sweaty though.

    We really enjoyed our visit to Talking Rocks Cavern. We visited the weekend of Sept. 30, so it wasn't very busy. The gift shop was full of fossils, mineral samples and jewelry. The cave tour was the best; you can get very close to amazing cave formations.

    Keep it mind, the box gets HOT during a summer day so if anything, tackle the one inside the gift shop on a hot day.

    Bigfoot Fun Park

    (71 reviews)

    You know things are about to get interesting when a 200-foot tower named "Gravity Bomb" looms over…read morethe parking lot and there's a cartoon Bigfoot giving you a thumbs up like, "Yeah, trust me, this'll be fun." Welcome to Bigfoot Fun Park in Branson--a place where your inner child meets your adult-level fear of heights and your wallet quietly starts sweating. We started with the mini golf, because nothing gets the blood pumping like passive-aggressive putting. The course was glow-in-the-dark, covered in caves, waterfalls, and Bigfoot-themed props. At one point I putted through a log that looked suspiciously like a porta-potty. My ball ricocheted into a fake pond and I pretended that was part of the experience. Then came the main event: the Bigfoot Action Tower. There are two options--either shoot 200 feet in the air like you just stepped on a LEGO, or drop straight down like a terrified ragdoll. We did the drop ride, and I swear time slowed down. I heard colors. I made promises to the universe. And when we landed, I couldn't stop laughing--or maybe crying, it's all a blur. The arcade was next, where we exchanged real dollars for digital tokens and digital tokens for tickets, and then tickets for one (1) glow-in-the-dark rubber chicken. Worth it? Spiritually, yes. We peeked into the Yeti Fun Zone, which is like a jungle gym on caffeine. Kids were leaping off platforms, zipping down slides, and flopping into air bags like little gymnastic possums. I considered joining but remembered I'm at the age where I can injure myself sneezing. To finish the trip, we checked out the 8D theater ride, which included VR goggles, laser guns, and an on-screen Bigfoot in what I can only describe as the weirdest cowboy vs. alien vs. sasquatch scenario ever rendered. All in all, Bigfoot Fun Park is weird, wild, and unexpectedly charming. It's like someone asked, "What if Chuck E. Cheese married a roller coaster and they had a baby raised by Bigfoot?" And honestly? That baby turned out great.

    This is a Branson must do! We have been coming to the area for over 20 years and this has become…read moreone of our favorite places. They recently added escape rooms which are some of the best in Branson. The arcade is solid, but the mini golf is top notch- some of the best on the strip. Don't sleep on this place!

    Professor Hacker's Dinosaur Canyon

    (44 reviews)

    Spend some time in a car in most any city, and you're gonna get an idea of where their heart lies…read more In Santa Monica, palm trees and juice bars. In Houston, the very concept of asphalt itself. In Branson, MO? It's all about Jesus and mini-golf. Professor Hacker's Dinosaur Canyon (I'm calling it "Dino Canyon" from now on) is one such contribution to the putt-puttian zeitgeist, and it is a hoot. Its name is half-right; while there is no canyon (but there is a rad volcano thing, it is riddled with dinosaurs, most being extremely, lovably derpy. If you dig a leisurely stroll through campy terrain, you'll love Dino Canyon. The golf itself is nice but not exceptional. Sadly, the dinos are mere window-dressing, not actually incorporated into the holes themselves. There are two courses: Raptor and T-Rex. We chose T-Rex as we were promised stairs and a slightly more challenging course. I wouldn't call it a challenge (we scored 49 to 47 on 18 holes), but it is nice and fun and we'll-designed. The price is pretty swell. A game for two adults is about $25, and if you keep the scorecard you can play the other course for $5.50 each. Also, a hole in one earns you a free game! Heck yeah. The bathrooms, holy smokes. So clean. Seriously, hold it 'til you get there. You'll be glad you did. If you're in Branson, don't go to a show. Go to Dino Canyon.

    Staff were friendly. It was OK. I'd say there's definitely better courses to go to in Branson, but…read morewe enjoyed our time there for sure.
