Off-Season Attractions, Museums, and Shopping in Branson, Mo
Toy Museum Car
This antique car will greet you outside of the World's Largest Toy Museum.
Branson's entertainment still sizzles during the cold winter months of the off-season. A trip to "Hot Winter Fun!" during the months of January, February and March is a sure way to cure the winter blues. Many shops are open year-round, making off-season shopping a great time to find deals and avoid the crowds. If you really want to visit Branson for the shows, note that most performances are not available during January, and have limited runs in February and March. Be sure to check the schedules for the shows you'd like to see before planning your vacation during these months! Museums: The World's Largest Toy Museum is like a trip down memory lane. You'll find thousands of toys from past and present day manufacturers. Stroll through the displays and you'll find trains and trucks, dolls and much, much more. Hollywood Wax Museum will walk you through the history of American pop culture with life-like wax replicas of characters from Lethal Weapon, King Kong, Forrest Gump, Zorro, Top Gun, MASH, Star Trek, Seinfeld, and Happy Days. Enjoy recreations of big-time musicians like John Lennon and Sonny Bono as well as athletes like Michael Jordan. Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum displays strange exhibits such as a vampire-slaying kit, a two-headed calf, and a model of the Roman Coliseum made from playing cards. Take your camera; it's the most photographed building in Branson! Veterans Memorial Museum of Branson contains over 2,000 exhibits on 18,000 sq. ft. in honor of the brave men and women who fought in World Wars I & II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf. You'll be moved by this powerful tribute to veterans from all branches of the United States military service. Outlet Malls: And shoppers will find plenty of bargains at Branson's Outlet Malls. Tanger Outlet Center on Highway 76 has more than 60 stores. Next to White Water, you'll find Factory Merchants Branson Outlet, with over 90 stores and shops.

World's Largest Toy Museum
It was great seeing some of the toys I had as a child along with the ones My kids had, It was a trip back in time!
-Lorita Hogan, Lakewood, WA White Water
Being a family of Amature Dare-devils.....we loved it...However there were two things in the water park that were almost TOO INTENSE...even for thrill seekers like us! The Wave pool tends to get pretty Wicked at times....if you've ever wondered what it would feel like to be tossed overboard and into a stormy sea....THIS would be a good place to find out that information!! Also...the Tropical plunge water slide....while a very intense and fun water slide ....can really play havoc with your swimming apparell !! ( One trip down the slide and the whole seam in the back of my swim trunks, was ripped wide open...necessitating a hastey trip to the surf shop for a replacement pair !! )
-Richard Mooney, Pattonsburg, MO Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum
better than expected
My 12 y.o. son wanted to go and I just wasn't very interested at first but caved in. It was actually pretty good. Take the time to read the notes about the exhibits and it's fascinating. You can spend a long time in there so plan for it.
