Fun at Hollywood Wax Museum

  • 10

Our family spent some time in Branson, Missouri, this week. It snowed A LOT while we were there, which was beautiful to look at but too cold to spend much time in, so we went in search of fun activities we could do indoors.

We found fun to spare at the Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center, a landmark Branson attraction at the center of the Highway 76 strip.

It’s perfect for families, with four attractions for one great ticket price, including an opportunity to rub elbows with the stars in the wax museum.

We had a marvelous time here. The kids especially enjoyed posing for pictures with some of their favorite stars, using the props provided to really feel a part of the action.

I especially love this scene from Star Trek. “Beam us up, Scottie!”

We discovered a few gaps in our children’s homeschool education, though. For instance, Abby had never even heard of I Dream of Jeannie before! We’ll have to fix that ASAP.

Charlie’s Angels was also a new one to her, although it didn’t take her long to learn some of their moves!

Would you look at those muscles on that guy on the right? Where did those come from? He’s only twelve!

I’d be hard-pressed to say which of our kids is the biggest ham, but this place gave them all plenty of opportunities to mug for the camera.

Only a very small fraction of the scenes depicted would I classify as at all scary. Not so much Frankenstein and his bride…

… or even monster snakes and aliens. Probably the creepiest wax figures, in my estimation, were the likenesses of Jack Nicholson and Hugh Hefner.

The All-Access Pass includes a round of miniature golf, although the course was frozen over the day we visited…

… so we elected to stay inside where it was warm and enjoy an extra ride in the 5-D Castle of Chaos, instead.

There were two to pick from — the object was to shoot outlaw robots in one and werewolves in the other.

The 3-D glasses and moving seats made us feel like we were really there in the midst of the imminent threat. Fortunately for the motion-sick-prone members of our group, we were given the option of sitting still while we played instead of being jerked all over the place. It was a blast, either way.

Obviously, some of us are better shots than others. Our daughter-in-law dominated!

After our time in the Castle of Chaos, we went to explore Hannah’s House of Mirrors. With hundreds of mirrored walls and archways and 288 potential turns, this was far more challenging than we expected. It was also a great place for playing Zombie Tag (walk, don’t run) and Hide and Seek.

We had the place to ourselves, so once we’d found our way through the maze and finished playing our games, the attendant offered to time us to see who could get through the quickest. I think our Isaac holds the record with just a little over 60 seconds.

There were several more photo ops outside. We posed for a few of those before we left.

Overall impression: Hollywood Wax Museum is great fun for all ages. Check it out next time you travel to Branson! Follow this link before you go for a coupon worth $2 off an All-Access Pass.

Disclosure: Mom and Dad were given two free All-Access Passes (plus 50% off all our kids’ admissions) as part of a US Family Guide blogger promotion. I agreed to post a review in exchange for our tickets, but the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.

If you look closely enough, you can see Old Major in the barn addressing Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Muriel, Jessie, Bluebell, Snowball, Squealer, Napoleon, and all the others. Abby arranged this scene  herself — proof that she was paying close attention when I read George Orwell’s classic aloud to my kids last week.  It has been more than 75 years since Orwell first penned this political fable, yet it remains as relevant today as ever. Wish our elected officials who seem so inexplicably enamored with Socialism would take time to read and ponder its message.  #fourlegsgood #twolegsbetter #flandersfamilyreads

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well.  For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment:  ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.”  ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “  ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “  With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it.  Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike.  Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind.  #happyvalentinesday #bekind

What does patient love look like? It takes time to What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its  fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes.  It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us.  As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God.  #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1 Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like?  He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.”  The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength.  God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point  unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them.  #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso
