The Museum’s distinctive architecture immerses visitors in the landscape, while three miles of nature trails encourage exploration and reflection.
The three (3) main Lakes in the Branson Tri-Lakes area are Table Rock Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, and Lake Taneycomo. Together they offer a world-class combination of fishing, boating, and recreational water activities. Whether it’s angling for “warm water” fish such as Large Mouth Bass or “cold water” fish such as Rainbow and Brown Trout, you’re in the right place! Swimming, boating, water skiing, or a relaxing stroll on a nature trail – you name it, the Tri-Lakes area of Branson is perfect!
		“Branson Scenic Railway” lets you experience the beauty of the Ozarks aboard a vintage passenger train! With unique and lovingly restored cars dating from the late 1930’s to the early 1960’s, there is no other Branson attraction that lets you step back in time in quite the same way!
Take a hike in Dogwood Canyon Nature Park on a paved trail that guides you past beautiful limestone bluffs and tumbling waterfalls, over bridges formed of native stone or hand-crafted of wrought iron, and even a covered bridge of Amish construction. The beautiful rainbow trout swim in clear spring-fed waters, easily visible as you pass by.
