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!

This was my favorite museum I have EVER been to. The collection was extremely impressive. As…read moresomeone with great appreciation and interest in Native heritage and history, I was absolutely blown away. If you actually look around and take the time to read a little, this can easily take you 2+ hours to get through. Do not skip this experience if you go to top of the rock though!! One thing I will say, while they allow children, there wasnt anything I could see kids being into. This is not an interactive-type of situation, so keep that in mind if you have young'ns!

I've been to a lot of First Nations focused museums but this one has more artifacts and history…read morethan all the ones I have been to before. It was immersive and fascinating. 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!

While visiting Arkansas, we spent a cloudy afternoon wandering around this spectacular museum. The…read morearchitecture alone will blow your socks off! It opened in November of 2011 by founder Alice Walton & heiress to the Walmart fortune. Her intent to offer public access to American art and integrating natural landscapes into its campus like design has brought people from all over to visit. I loved the high ceilings, glass windows, art, sculptors, landscaping and botanical gardens. So many fascinating things to look at and educate oneself about. Great place to take the family or a group. They offer tours which if you have the time I would recommend... *General Admission is free but you can make a donation. There are a few exhibits that you must pay for to see. *There is a cafe & shop located on the entry level. *Parking garage fills up quickly. There are more lots located further away from the museum. You will have to walk a bit but the grounds are beautiful. ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

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.

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.
