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.

The moment you walk in, you're transported back to the 1980s with neon lights, vintage decor, nostalgic sounds! It's packed with classic games including Centipede, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Popeye, Punch-Out!!, Galaga, and many many many more. The side with the arcade games you pay $12 and that's for the entire day. Unlimited game play. With the military ID you get in free! On the other side, they have pinball machines $.25 to pay each one. The collection of games an 80s paraphernalia is impressive, the retro vibe is spot on, and it's easy to spend hours having fun. 1984 is a must-visit. I loved sitting and relaxing, watching Ferris Bueller's Day off and remembering what it felt like to be a kid again. I wish there was a time machine because I would so hop in and go!! Very clean bathrooms, a party area you can reserve. They also have drinks and snacks to purchase.

The museum is named after a Missouri radio and TV pioneer who operated out of nearby Springfield. So, there's a room dedicated to Ralph Foster and his broadcast achievements. Adjacent is a room covering his most popular Grand Ol' Opry style show and the country music stars who visited it. The TV Clampett's 1921 Oldsmobile truck from the Beverly Hillbillies has central placement on the first floor; the series creator was from the area. Famous Missourian and artist Thomas Hart Benton has an exhibit space of his landscapes. The second floor largely contains guns and taxidermic works of animals from around the world--both donated collections. Famed entertainer Andy Williams has a small exhibit of his Christmas sweaters due to his long-time residency in Branson. There's also space devoted to the history of College of the Ozarks. And so it goes. While some exhibits are exhaustively detailed, others--particularly the animals--have cursory descriptions. A beautiful exhibit of hundreds of mounted birds includes only the name of each, with some names so jumbled together it's confusing which bird is which. The animal descriptions are lightly proofread Encarta notes--a digital encyclopedia discontinued before 2010. The museum, however, offers a good diversion and you can easily spend a couple of hours here. It's well worth the low light entry expense, which will particularly appeal to families and seniors.

The staff were also wonderful: they are college students who work during the summer to pay for their room and board. During the school year, students work 15 hours per week to pay their tuition, so it's called Hard Work U. It's a must-see place; you won't be disappointed.

This visit was no different and me and my girlfriend had the best time. STAFF: A big part of it was the help we received from the wonderful staff. I just had the best interaction with KAYANN overall though! She was so helpful throughout or visit tonight (5/24). They have a claw machine where you can exchange prizes whenever you win one and she helped us exchange prizes 3 times during our trip. We also had 4 giant plushies that we exchanged early in our visit but could not carry and she allowed us to store it behind the counter for us to pick up on our way out. KayAnn clearly went above and beyond during our visit to accommodate our needs and it made our visit so much better. The Caucasian male standing behind the prize counter was great as well. We definitely were a little rowdy and needy and he handled us very well and even helped us out after 11 because we tried to use up all our credits. ARCADE: This arcade definitely is more expensive but their prizes more than make up for it! They have very useful prizes and have such a wide variety too. If you are planning on coming back for a repeated visit or plan on spending more than 30mins here, I would definitely recommend getting the $50 or $100 game card package. Most of their claw machines also allow for prize exchanges which is so great because you can go for whatever is easiest. One of the best games to play here is their coin pushers. This place has so much variety in those and you can just sit for 30minutes at a machine and not realize. TL;DR: Staff is wonderful; KayAnn deserved recognition! Recommend spending more here to get better prizes. Love the claw machines and Coin pushers!

During my most recent visit, I checked my receipt immediately after leaving the store and noticed the duplicate charge. I went straight back inside, and the employee eventually refunded the extra charge without a single apology. Unfortunately, that wasn't the most disappointing part of my experience. I've been collecting squishy toys for my kids for Christmas, and my daughter had heard that this store had a great selection. She was right. They have plenty of squishies, including a Crazy Fun Squishy Dumpling that I purchased. I knew counterfeit versions of these toys existed, but I never thought I'd have to worry about that at an established toy store. I wasn't buying from some random seller on Facebook Marketplace. When I got home, I happened to compare the dumpling with an authentic one I had purchased from Target. I immediately noticed several differences. The one from Dilly Dally's was missing the hologram sticker, barcode, ingredient information, and, most importantly, the embossed RMS marking on the bottom of the steamer container. I hadn't even opened the product. I understood the store's "All Sales Are Final" policy, so I went back hoping to exchange it for something else. I politely explained that I was concerned the product might not be authentic. What shocked me was the response. I was told that they had never claimed the product was authentic or represented it as a Crazy Fun product, even though the packaging clearly displayed the Crazy Fun name. I was also told that mystery squishy toys were not eligible for returns. I explained that if I had known the product might not be authentic, I would never have purchased it. Instead of acknowledging my concern, the person I spoke with was dismissive and defensive. Eventually, they agreed to accept the return as a "one-time exception," making it feel as though they were doing me a favor. The issue was never simply about getting my money back. It was about trust, transparency, and how customers are treated. I would have appreciated even a simple apology or an offer to look into my concerns. Instead, I was left feeling that my concerns were being brushed aside. When a store sells toys intended for children, I expect it to take questions about product authenticity and safety seriously. My advice: Check your receipts carefully, and be cautious when purchasing branded or collectible toys here. They may have a great selection, but after two visits involving duplicate charges and this experience with customer service, I no longer feel comfortable shopping here.
