You can go to their website and get tickets cheaper than in Branson. My kids and hubby loved the go carts and water bumper boats! There are many locations all over Branson, so you can miss the traffic. There are simple go carts to super fast and challenging go carts.

This is a great place to take the kids and the best part is that it’s FREE! Edwards Mill, built with funds provided by the late Mr. and Mrs. Hubert C. Edwards, is powered by a 12-foot water wheel turned by runoff water from nearby Lake Honor. Student workers grind whole-grain meal and flour, available for purchase inside the building. Upstairs is a weaving studio, where students design and produce rugs, shawls, placemats, and other items on traditional looms. Downstairs, students weave baskets by hand.

Fruitcake and Jelly Kitchen, since 1934, has produced its famous fruitcakes on campus and today student workers, along with supervisors, bake more than 40,000 cakes a year. Visitors are welcome in the kitchen where a variety of jellies and the college's delicious apple butter are also made and sold.

The College of the Ozarks greenhouses, located east of Edwards Mill, are home to the Clint McDade orchid collection. Mr. McDade, one of the school's first students, donated the nucleus of the collection, which today numbers more than 7,000 plants. Individual orchids and other houseplants are for sale at the greenhouse.

Old and young will enjoy this ride... we laughed at the corney jokes but it really was fun. It includes the sites of Branson with the driver's personal views interjected... The collection of old military equipment was interesting... Driving out into water was fun... Our driver was a real kick!

They sing gospel, 60s and country...they throw lots of humor in too! The kids I thought would be bored and they laughed and enjoyed it too! All ages were there and seemed to have fun! Comic and singing...some serious...some not! They only do a morning show!
