Girls loved it. Enjoyed... - Girls loved it. Enjoyed learning some history of the ship. I was glad it was wheelchair accessible, so was my husband.

Amazing Views - Hopefully you get to visit here on a clear day. Wow - you can see for miles! We caught just the start of fall so a few of the colors were changing. You can get a water glimpse of the water reservoir. Take a few minutes to play a game of checkers. Bring quarters for the far viewing telescopes. However, both penny smashing machines up top were out of order, one downstairs by bathrooms was working

Tall zipline - We actually did the tower zipline (Vigilante). It was awesome! But so short I felt it wasn't worth the money. And the view from the tower is high up, but all you see are hills, so I definitely wouldn't pay to go up for the view alone. Cute facilities though! I may have e to come back to try the dinner show and sweets shop!

Worth every penny. - The view was great! Plenty of room so you won't feel cramped. They even have telescopes to be able to see different areas up close!

First Timers - We did the inspiration tower after riding the Copperhead Mountain coaster twice. We aren’t high maintenance, and we’re easily entertained- the 3 adults thought the tower was interesting and actually took the time to read the plaques and posted historical points up top. Our 4 sons (ages 13, 10, 8, 6) could have cared less… but they enjoyed playing on the big checkers game that was available up there. The lady at the bottom said it would be cheaper to purchase a family pass- so we did, 7 people for $32’ish dollars I think? So maybe look into that option if you have enough people. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Would we do the tower again? Probably not, but it was our first trip to Branson and it was pretty from up there, interesting, and fun to experience once.

Disappointed - It was not as impressive as it appeared online. I would not recommend it. I didn’t do the coaster or zip line. They might have made the experience more worth the drive.

Not worth it - Don't waste $10 to go to the top of this tower. The windows are not that clean, you spend 5 minutes maybe walking around the tower to see the area. Not my idea of money well spent.

Not worth stand alone admission. - Not really worth it. The view from up top isn't much different than what you see along the highway. Might as well just stop at the free public conservation area nearby.

Worst Attraction - Terrible service, one person working on a holiday weekend to check each person to make sure the waivers were signed. Had reservations for 11:30 but gave up and left after never receiving service. No signs or information on how to check in.

Zipline have at it, View from the top no - 2 couples were looking for something to do for the morning. We decide to go do this. When we got there there was one line for everything. Lower zipline, upper zipline, the slider coaster, and the view from the tower. The line was 40 people long. We found that we could buy on line for 40 bucks. So we entered the elevator, no ticket taker, got to the view level, no ticket taker. Started viewing around, the views were the some that you can find somewhere along the road. We stayed there for another 10 mins and still no ticket taker. So we left. Bye Bye 40 bucks. If your in to ziplines have at it. But if your want to see scenic views don't waste your time.
