This place has some amazing views. The ambiance is rustic. There's a huge fossil of the prehistoric mammoth. The food was well seasoned. The staff was great. I asked the bartender for a fruity drink. I didn't know the name of it. I saw a few different kinds there that looked great. I said surprise me. He made up a drink. I asked for the name. He said I could call it what I wanted. It didn't have a name. I would love to go back to see some more of the beautiful and amazing views. They are breathtaking. They had a live band for entertainment. This was a private event. I really enjoyed everything
A bit pricey, but so is everything nowadays. We had four of us, split into two golf carts for the driving tour. Gorgeous scenery and a unique experience. The only thing is that the metal sculptures interfere with the pure natural beauty of the place. The museum has an unbelievable amount of artifacts, very beautifully displayed. That said, it really needs more descriptive signage explaining what we're looking at and how it relates to other items in the displays around them. There are some, but not nearly enough for all of the items that we're looking at. Mostly show with little tell. And the brief introductory movie can be deleted. It was tell with only a single picture for show. But for anyone interested in Native American culture, the amount of displays was overwhelming. The remaining displays on the wars of the west were also well stocked with items from that era. Perhaps a bit more information on the actual ways of life of all of the folks who made this part of the Ozarks their home as a future area to build on. I don't know if they do school tours here, but this place could really spark some interest in history for a lot of kids and give them an appreciation for how their predecessors lived here. My son and his friend really enjoyed it, so I'm glad that we took this tour. Still have an aquarium to visit. Explain more for the last Star.
There is a five or ten dollar admission fee to enter the grounds. No reservations necessary we arrived at the Top of the Rock ticket counter purchasing two tickets to take the self-guided golf cart tour. It's not cheap costing more than seventy dollars for two persons (thus the four stars). You get to drive your own cart, at your own pace, past some beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and caves. The 'trip' took about and hour and a half and as it was chilly that day we pretty much didn't stop and gawk nor take that many photos as we followed the paved path through the 'park'. Afterwards we boarded a shuttle bus which took us to a building housing restaurants and a museum. We didn't eat at a restaurant but spent more than an hour in the museum which was very nice. It's worth the visit - don't miss it if you're visiting Branson.
