Scott And Carol Present: And Now For Something Completely Different Part 1
The city of Branson is realistically described to an entertainment buffet. With hundreds of live shows, museums, and other attractions, if you can’t find fun there, you’re either not trying or you are related to the Grinch. Here is a very brief report of several different attractions we visited during a recent trip “out west:”



Our next stop was Ride the Ducks. Our WW II veteran 1944 DUKW took us on a tour up into the mountains above Table Rock Lake and then out onto the lake itself. The operation shut down in 2005 and the ducks operated around New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. How amazing that these veterans served their country in two different centuries. Some other military vehicles are in the area where the rock for Table Rock Dam was blasted out back in the 1957-58. It’s a big lake and the vantage point shows just a portion of its waters.





We had planned to do another outdoor related activity but Carol nixed that by saying she wasn’t going risk ruining her cameras by carrying them out in the rain. The forecast said the rains would stop after lunch so we decided to visit the Titanic Museum. This attraction based on the world’s most notorious maritime disaster. It is built as a one-half scale replica of the ship striking the iceberg.




The Butterfly Palace is more than just a butterfly aviary. You journey begins with a 3-D movie about life as a caterpillar and as a praying mantis. The incredible transformations in these insects existence are chronicled in exquisite detail, giving you a very up close view of their trials and tribulations. Then it’s time to see over 1,000 free flying butterflies as they flitter among the plants.





Because it was Halloween, we visited a haunted house. The Haunted House and Monster Asylum on the other side of the Dinosaur Walk building.
