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!!

We paid for our tickets upon arrival and were given a tour time. The tour itself was absolutely beautiful. It is very steep and narrow with at least 200 steps. Wear good shoes with grips because the floor is also wet at times. I don't recommend bringing babies or toddlers, but we managed to do it with a toddler. I was just scared the whole time lol.

Because of my experience in Pigeon Forge, I brought my wife to the Branson Location so she could have a good experience with me. I am totally disappointed in the Branson location because so many of the exhibits and interactive activities were not working. Upon leaving I informed the manager That I was not happy and why. He acted totally indifferent with only a half-hearted apology and multiple excuses. No offers for refund, free admission next time, etc. I don't think that my patronage had any value at this location and as a result I will not be endorsing visiting bus tours to patronize this location either.

By far the best part of the experience was the large butterfly arena with different butterflies from around the world. They give you this flower connected to a nectar vile and the butterflies basically come to you. In addition you get a laminated sheet which tells you what butterflies are in there so you can identify them. There are so many butterflies you almost forget about the pretty hummingbirds around. There is a cool mirror maze, 3D movie and slide to keep your kids occupied. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they care about their job. Prices paid for admissions which was a little pricier than expected: Child- $11.00 per ticket Adult - $32.00 per ticket Senior- $29.00 per ticket However, it's one of those prices you pay that you feel goes to a good cause to help the butterflies and other animals there. Overall, it's worth the visit if you are into that sort of thing or want to try something different than mini golf :). Just getting photo ops with my children and the butterflies is a mom and dad's dream if you can imagine lol. A great time and experience!

However, even with expansion work going on and things unavailable that we were excited for during our visit it was still a five star visit. The Butterfly Palace is an absolute must if you are visiting the area. We paid high price for so many attractions and this one was by far a favorite. The flight of the monarch's 3D movie was such a quick and educational film and the small reptile area had wonderful staff. Thank you to Evan that was the most patient and kind employee that we encountered while there. She answered all of my toddler's questions without feeling dismissed or in a hurry to move on. The butterfly room was beautiful. Educational for both adults and children with identification cards, binoculars, and magnifying glasses. I could have stayed there much longer than we did waiting for butterflies to land and admiring their beauty. It was truly a fantastic experience for all ages. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My only thing I would say is how crowded it gets. I felt like at one point it was shoulder to shoulder. I'm not sure they have limits on the amount of people in the room at one time or a way that they move people through. Either way 5/5 or 10/10!
