Branson's Wild World

We had free tickets, so we decided to use them and check the place out. Gives off a low-budget roadside feel right in the door. Hit with an immediate smell of dirty aquarium water. Confirmed the source as so as we started the tour. A lot of aquarium were in due need of cleaning. A lot of buildup on the glass of nearly every one of them. Outside section saved it from being a complete bust. Great chance to get a closer view of stone animals versus an actual zoo. Wolves, hyenas, a tiger, and even a liger. Several other predatory animals that you can get a closer look at. They offer a chance to feed several of the different animals for a fee. You can tell that the animals are accustomed to it because they run up when you're there and leave fairly quickly when they realize you have no food. Free tickets, so the bar hasn't set super high, but if I had paid $22 normal admission, I would have not been happy with the experience.

Recommended this place during our Branson trip and my group (3 adults) wasn't too interested but agreed to go. Everyone was pleasantly surprised it was a highlight of the trip. Way more animals than we expected and they were very active. It was a great time and I would recommend for all ages!

Absolutely loved coming here! I have visited both locations, and let me tell you I was not disappointed. The range of crocodilians, won me over considering most places in Missouri only have alligators. Fun animal selections and the aquarium portion was a nice change of pace. I love that I can come here and practice my wildlife photography since you’re so close and personal with the animals. Got a chance to meet the owner and you can tell he cares for his animals.

We had a great time! Lots of animals to see and exhibits to walk through. My daughters loved it. We paid $10 outside of our tickets to feed the otters and it was awesome! We had two interactions w inside workers and they were very friendly and helpful- letting us interact with an armadillo and the otters. We paid for the mini golf inside at the end and it had cool aquatic animals on display throughout. We paid $54 for two adults and mini golf, my two year-old was free and we used a birthday pass (found on their website) for our other daughter. Well worth it!!

I was skeptical because of some of the negative reviews but this was a really fantastic mini zoo. The animals were well cared and loved for. Friendly and informative staff who were very engaging. Several of the animals can be pet or fed with handler supervision of course. The glow golf was really cool and included with the price. The one suggestion I would have is to add more information of the species on their name plaque.
