The Titanic Museum Attraction was the very last attraction we visited during our time in Branson, Missouri. Not a stranger to the Titanic Museum Attraction, I have visited the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum 3 previous times. I knew while in town I had to experience the Branson location and see how the two locations differ and compare. Both locations are on a very busy highway and from the looks of it, extremely popular.
My family and I visited hoping to learn new information, educate ourselves and have fun! We were about the have an entire different experience from our last 3 visits and are ready for the challenge. Don’t worry, it’s a “good” different.
The 2 story museum is actually half scale to the original Titanic. Located inside the museum you will find over 20 exhibits and over 400 Titanic artifacts. The Branson location is one of two Titanic-themed museums owned by John Joslyn. John Joslyn headed a 1987 expedition to Titanic’s final resting place. He was also executive producer for the documentary Titanic: Secrets Revealed. I met his wife Mary Kellogg-Joslyn in 2012 at the Pigeon Forge Titanic location where we learned about Mr. Joselyn’s decade long dedication in the 1987 Titanic Expedition.
The first thing I notice was the large replica of the Titanic. The scale model of the ship gives guests and overall impression to how large the Titanic in fact was. It is in the front area where you learn about the different boarding classes and location of their cabin births and begin top learn about the personal stories that all endured aboard the RSS Titanic.

During my previous visits I did not have the pleasure of meeting Molly and Carter. Molly and Carter are the Titanic Mascots and represent the 10 dogs that were aboard the Titanic prior to her demise.Molly and Carter are available for a limited time this summer before they go into “semi-retirement”.
Those dogs have a good life, don’t they?!? Don’t forget to LIKE Molly & Carter on Facebook. You can keep up with their doggy dog world and see how their summer is going before their retirement.

New for 2014, Branson Titanic Museum Attraction pays tribute to the Musicians aboard the Titanic. 8 talented and heroic musicians helped drown-out the sadness of that dark night. Their stories are now shared and history will not forget those 8 brave men who sacrificed their survival and provided the last melodies for some of the ill-fated passengers.

One of my favorite galleries that currently displayed at both Titanic locations is the Titanic Children’s Gallery. Having two children of my own, this gallery is a favorite of mine. It is important to remember these helpless children and each of their story. Not only do I encourage my children to remember those that passed on too early in life, but to take the name of a few children that survived and do a web search to see what they did with their lives after the Titanic. It is important to teach my children that through perseverance, happiness can still occur.

Be sure to take a family picture in front of the large iceberg located at the front facade of the building. Pressed penny machine is also located at the front adjacent to the boarding line.
Side Note: No photography is allowed in the building so photographs use inside the building belong to the Titanic Museum Attraction.

If you are thinking about visiting the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum, be sure to visit our website again. We are making another #BayouTravel road trip to Pigeon Forge next week and will have updated information on the Pigeon Forge location and other Pigeon Forge Attractions. Shhh: We may be visiting Pigeon Forge this winter as well!
BB ♥ history, and I love how you’re making it real for your children. It’s a good lesson, to not only realize the importance of the past, but to learn compassion for those that were there. History shows humanity, both the good and bad; glad you’re sharing it with all of us. BB2U
Although there is no reason for it I still sometimes have nightmares about the Titanic and is the primary reason I will NOT EVER go on a cruise. I guess my parents should never have allowed me to watch the movie-although I don’t remember doing so. Although I agree that this is a place that all should visit I doubt very much I will be one of them!
The more I read about Branson, the more I want to take a trip there. I think my family would love to take a tour of the Titanic museum, it looks amazing. Maybe we could make Branson our next vacation spot.
This looks like a great place to go and visit. Perhaps I could persuade the hubby to take a side trip there some day.
This is really neat! Titanic is one of my favorite movies! How did I not know about this? I need to go on a vacay so I can visit this!
I live within hours of Branson but haven’t been in years. I think my kids would love this though!
For some reason I have always been interested in the Titanic. I would so love to visit the museum one day. Thanks for sharing.
I have heard several people say that they went to Branson and enjoyed it. The Titanic museum looks fascinating. Thanks for the info!
We’ve been to the Pigeon Forge Titanic Museum several times. It’s interesting to see how the two are different! My kids love to go there.
I am really hoping to take my boys to see this. This is so fascinating with history however its also so very sad.
