    History

    Enjoyed!!! We rode just before dark. Peak season but not crowded but it was a weekday.

    This Ferris wheel was a good way to pass some time. They let us go around twice, and since it was going soooo slow, it took about 20 minutes. My son didn't enjoy it, but my daughter and I did.

    Apart from this being the slowest Ferris wheel I've ever been on in my life, it's pretty fun. The view is magnificent and it's nice and tall so you get to see many things from the top. The ride is about 15 minutes long and I recommend it.

    Its such a beautiful day in Branson today we decided to do some site seeing. Another must do while in Branson Missouri is the Branson Ferris Wheel. The view is incredible. You can we the whole city. Just awesome views.

    A great way to see all of the strip from above. Not terribly expensive @ $12. They let us have the choice of going around once or twice. Only downside I would say is it's not very handicapped friendly. We're not handicapped, but watched a woman with a cane struggling to get on as it kept moving. They don't stop the ride, which is nice for those riding, but difficult for those who have balance issues trying to get on. Other than that, it's a pretty straight forward Ferris wheel.

    Booked in advance and everything went smooth . The ride was nice . It was pretty cold so be prepared. It was a surprise for my bday so I had no Idea . So guy don't surprise anyone unless u have the correct outerwear ready. But over all it was great after the ride u can get your pics they r pricey so we just took our own .

    If you like Ferris wheels, this one will scratch your itch. It's located in the central portion of the attractions so you can see all the things you'll probably be doing that week.

    We thought the Ferris Wheel was very cool. It is the old ferris wheel from the navy pier in Chicago. It must've been quite an undertaking to ship it down to Branson! But it's in great shape and offers awesome views of the Branson main strip.

    Want to do something fun with the family that is in expensive and see the best sites that Branson has to offer? Come check of their Ferris Wheel. You can go around twice and enjoy the beautiful sites of Branson all with a warm breeze coming through the windows. My sister is afraid of rides of any sort and loved being up there. It is peaceful and brings a relaxation moment of quiet to just take in the whole city of Branson.

    The kids loved it. It is very big and you can see so much from the top. I would recommend for anyone not afraid of heights.

    Runaway Mountain Coaster & Flyaway Ziplines at Branson Mountain Adventure (935 Historic Hwy 165,…read moreBranson, MO 65616) We had to check out the fastest mountain coaster during this very hot weekend in July. They have their own parking lot that seemed to get people in and out, and their line was short to buy tickets. My guy asked the cashier if I could bring my fanny pack, to which she quickly replied no, it needs to stay in the car and cannot be brought along to the ride. While I appreciate this information at the ticket stand, it was quite frustrating to get back home and see some AI-consolidated mentions of small lockers from a few months ago. Not sure if this is true or not, but I feel it should be mentioned on the website in FAQs and on signage at the site. Other than that, as a tourist, I still enjoyed the ride.

Next you watch a video. Then they weigh you and check the height of the children. Weight limit is 300 pounds. They are big on safety-one at a time they seat you in the "coaster"- you are buckled in with 2 safety straps-additional child straps. There are handles to hold to control speed. I am not big on speed and went slow. The coaster climbs through the woods and fake animals are scattered throughout. At the top there is a shed and guide who gives a thumbs up and down the hill you go-tilting slightly at times and circling around. They assist you and unstrap you at the end. A photo is taken 3/4 of the way down-smile and try not to look scared! Summary All the locals recommended this ride as the most scenic and it was! Great fun-even for me who is skiddish about heights and speed. Note-second ride is discounted. Best ride ever! Loved it!!

    The 5D Adventure: Castle of Chaos was a fun family experience! This was our second time doing it,…read moreso the excitement and surprise factor wasn't quite the same as the first time, but it was still a lot of fun. The shooting competition adds a fun element and a little friendly competition between family members. It's definitely an experience I recommend doing at least once, especially if you have younger kids. I will say it may feel a little cheesy for older kids or adults, but for families with children, it's a fun addition to your day. It was a great way to make memories together!

    This was the last thing my group did while visiting Branson…read more We got the Fiver Pass, which is good for this, the mirror maze, the wax museum, the golf course and the aquarium down the street. We skipped the golf course because it's outside and it was cold and raining. Out of the 4 out of 5 attractions we visited, I had the most fun on this one. It's a virtual 3D ride combined with a first person shooter video game. So you have 3D glasses and a laser blaster gun and pick settings/foes. We went with killer clowns and robots. We were all laughing and having a great time blasting enemies. If I had one suggestion, it would be to make the ride last longer. It seemed pretty short, especially with how fun it is. But, if you got kids (or even if you don't), check it out. It's a blast! Totally get the Fiver Pass as it's the best value.

There are shows happening all day long, from live music and bluegrass to comedy and saloon-style performances. Depending on the season, there are also special productions throughout the park. It's nice to be able to sit down, take a break, and still feel like you're part of the experience. And since the shows are included with admission, it adds a lot of value to your visit. It's also a great spot if you have younger kids. There is plenty for them to do beyond just rides, including play areas, interactive attractions, and even a train ride. It's not one of those parks where little kids are limited. They can stay busy all day. The whole park has a really cool 1880s theme and is honestly one of the most beautiful theme parks I've been to. Between the shops, craftsmen, and scenery, it feels more like an experience than just rides. That said, be ready for a lot of walking. This park is very hilly and you will feel it by the end of the day. Lines can also get long during busy times. Overall, it's a really unique place with a ton to do for all ages. Between the shows, rides, and kid-friendly activities, you can easily spend a full day here and still not see everything.

Most of my crew is pretty nervous around heights and roller coasters, but everyone ended up loving it! I will admit, the idea of potentially getting too close to the person in front of you stressed me out a little. You do have to keep a certain distance, and I did get a little closer than I wanted to at one point. Thankfully, it was easy to brake and slow down, so it ended up being much less stressful than I expected. If the line isn't too long, I would definitely recommend doing it a few times. The wait can be a little lengthy, but it's worth it. The staff was fantastic, especially the guys helping everyone get started. They were fun, encouraging, and made the experience even better. One of them could tell my youngest was nervous and did such a great job calming him down and cheering him on before he took off. I wish I had gotten his name so I could give him a proper shoutout! This was such a fun family activity and a great memory for all of us. Definitely recommend it!

    We made our reservations online and you get a form that tells you to fill out the waiver online to…read moresave time at checkin. Well, the link does not work, so we arrived 30 mins prior to our reservation as instructed in the instructions. You walk into the nice building and serval workers are there yet no one engages with you to welcome you. Finally you get some one at that counter and tell them you are there to checkin. We are told we are the only party in that reservation slot, we get weighed, and sign the waiver. After you sign the waiver nothing happens. They don't tell you anything you just wait. I did mentioned that we tried to sign them online and another lady says oh yeah that doesn't work and we cannot change the email with the instructions either. Seems odd. Well, after you wait with no communication from the staff eventually Maykala came to say she was going to get us geared up. She took our group started to work with us and then a guide Seth came and told her to take a break. He may have been trying to be funny with some of the things he was saying, however it came off as very rude. Out on the lines we had a good time. The first line we went down everyone in our group was turning around and Seth made a comment to my husband and me that our boys were not holding the brake correctly causing them to turn, well when my husband and I went we both turned. The next line Maykala told us to hold the brake a little different and seemed to make a big difference. The problem was Seth was receiving and he told our one son (who has autism) he was doing it wrong which needless to say upset him since he did exactly what he was just instructed to do. Seth would continue to make comments to our boys that I'm not sure if he thought were funny or what, however again it just came across as rude. After the lines you return to the office. No communication if you are free to go or what. We knew from watching a previous group checkout that they have photos you can buy. So, when I went to buy some drink and the lady asked if I wanted photos I told her no one has talked to us about them however, yes we wanted them. Overall it was a fun time. Maykala was amazing! The rest of the crew in the office and Seth needs to learn about customer service.
