The Branson Dinosaur Museum has been designed with the young (and young-at-heart) in mind! This educational museum brings dinosaur fans up-close-and-personal. Dinosaurs abound, from the small, four-winged microrapter (a dinosaur that measured only one-foot-tall and was the most abundant of non-bird dinosaurs)…to everyone’s favorite, the enormous tyrannosaurus rex, fondly referred to as T-Rex (a beast with a massive skull, balanced by a long, heavy tail).
One of the must do top 10 things to do in Branson. Celebrating 250th anniversary of these United States, the Veterans Memorial Museum is filled with awesome exhibits showcasing emotional information about our heroes.

The noted explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, paleontologist, and part-time taxidermist from the University of Chicago, Professor Duffer A. Hacker, also had a love for hot air balloons. During a recreational flight with a friend in 1930, the two found themselves caught in a storm that blew them miles off course. The voyagers finally crash-landed in a canyon which they soon discovered was inhabited by creatures thought to be extinct… DINOSAURS! Follow Professor Hacker and putt your way through the volcano and around waterfalls as he explores a land thought to be lost. We hope you enjoy Dinosaur Canyon, a Branson mini golf course!
The noted explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, paleontologist, and part-time taxidermist from the University of Chicago, Professor Duffer A. Hacker, led two expeditions to the Fogclift Islands off the coast of South America in the 1920’s. The purpose of these expeditions was to search for ancient gold and diamond mines rumored to be hidden on the Islands. Professor Hacker’s first surprise was the discovery of an old mining train built by the Germans during the First World War. Take the mining car to the top of the mountain and follow Professor Hacker as you putt your way through a fun and exciting expedition to find gold and diamonds. We hope you enjoy this Branson mini golf course!
