Top Eleven Museums in Branson
August 24, 2020

There are so many Museums in Branson of so many different types. Visitors could spend two weeks in Branson just visiting museums and still not see them all. Some of the museums make sense, like the Branson Centennial Museum or the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum, or even the History of Fishing Museum. After all, the Branson/Tri-Lakes area is a great fishing spot. But we are incredibly blessed to have museums like the Titanic Museum Attraction and the World's Largest Toy Museum. The town does, though, have an incredible amount of museums of a wide variety.  Let us help you sort out the many museums in the Branson area so you can decide which ones you wish to visit on your Branson Getaway.

Here is our list of the Top Eleven Museums in Branson in no particular order.

Natural History Museum on iBranson

Located on a bluff overlooking the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake, Top of the Rock preserves Missouri’s history and natural beauty. Top of the Rock features the world-class Top of the Rock Golf Course, Top of the Rock Lost Canyon Cave and Nature Trail, and the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum. The Museum features displays and artifacts that tells the history of the Ozarks from the prehistoric era up to The Civil War. Kids and adults will love it. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

When one enters the Titanic Museum, she can choose a name from among the list of passengers and crew aboard the RMS Titanic when she sank over 100 years ago. Then one can look for displays and artifacts connected with the name. At the end, one can discover that person's fate. Did the person survive the shipwreck? Were they lost? Were they a hero? Tour the Titanic Museum Attraction  at your own pace and study the hundreds of artifacts and special collections on display. It is a mesmerizing experience. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

World's Largest Toy Museum at iBranson.com

For one day last spring, I became a kid again. That is the effect that The World's Largest Toy Museum has me. I saw all of my favorite kids' toys and thousands of others from my parents' and grandparents' generations. A visit to The Toy Museum allows you the opportunity to see The National BB Gun Museum, The Stearnsy Bear Museum, The World of Checkers Museum, The Harold B. Wright Museum, and The Paul Harvey Jr Museum. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

Get to know stars screen, music and sports in a way that is unattainable anywhere else. Walk up and look into the eyes of life-size wax figures that began as clay sculptures and are now lifelike presences. Find props and costumes to give you the right look for your pictures with current and classic stars. Whether you’re walking the red carpet, taking a selfie at an A-list cocktail party, or singing with a pop star, the Hollywood Wax Museum is full of experiences that bring you inside Hollywood. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

Branson Auto and Farm Museum on iBranson.com

I could spend days drooling over the cars in the Branson Auto & Farm Museum. They display cars and farm machinery from every decade since 1900. Not just cars and tractors, but motorcycles and even firetrucks. They feature a few models that I have never heard of and certainly many that I have never seen in person. My favorites are the classics. The only thing I didn't like about this museum is that they wouldn't let me drive one, no matter how much money I offered. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

The Branson / Tri-Lakes area is known to have some of the world's best trout and bass fishing, so it is only natural that it also has one of the world's best fishing museums. The History of Fishing Museum displays a collection of over 40,000 pieces valued at over $5 million. One could spend days taking in this collection . Some of the pieces go back to the 18th century and many many more are from the 19th and 20th centuries. As incredible as that is, one will find the stories behind them even more fascinating. Open Daily as of August 25, 2020.

Are you a movie or TV fan? If so, you shouldn't miss The Celebrity Car Museum in Branson. Remember the car chase from The Blues Brothers movie, the utility vehicles from Jurassic Park, the Batmobile, or Mater from Cars? You can see them all here along with dozens of other cars that will make you smile or laugh out loud.

The Veterans Memorial Museum in Branson, Missouri is a national tribute to the brave men and women who defended our liberties during the 20th Century.
