Titanic Museum
Branson’s “Titanic Museum” is touted as “the most lavish monument to the sea’s most famous disaster” as well as the “best storytelling museum in the world”. Staged on an eerily true replica of the doomed luxury liner, this popular attraction tenders groups on Show Me State holiday an absolutely immersive two-hour tour experience that lets them re-live the tragedy of 1912. Step through the iceberg, collect your boarding ticket bearing the name of an actual passenger and sail back in time to that darkest day as you imagine yourself anticipating a cruise to end all cruises, unaware of the deadly peril lying just ahead in the dark, frigid waters. Ascend the grand staircase, steer the ship, touch an “iceberg,” and practice your SOS signal; hear the stories of famous passengers who sailed on Titanic’s fateful maiden voyage and - at the end of your remarkable adventure - learn whether or not “your” passenger was amongst the few lucky survivors!
Clay Cooper Theatre
Country music fans and aspiring young entertainers, alike, will want to catch Country Express at the newly renovated Clay Cooper Theatre just across the street from the Titanic Museum. Formerly owned and operated by the Osmond Family, the popular venue was taken over by Clay in January, 2010; fabulous updates include an expanded lobby, a dance hall, state of the art sound and lighting and a wonderful kids’ area. Clay, his family and his amazing cast of veteran entertainers promise a high energy variety extravaganza jam-packed with comedy, country, dance, trick roping, gun-slinging', gospel and more - hands down, one of the best shows in town!
The Haygoods Show
The only act in Branson to headline a new show every year, the mega-talented Haygoods bring down the house night after night, wowing audiences at the Clay Cooper Theatre with their incredibly tight harmonies, innovative, energetic choreography and amazing performances. This talented bunch of six siblings serve up a rollicking good time for guests of all ages, featuring the family’s special blend of trademark musical magic, state of the art effects, sumptuous sound, mesmerizing dance, and relentless, contagious energy that must be experienced to believe!

Sight and Sound Theatres
