The tours

Fantabulous Travels' ultimate tour is the definitive walk of the current museum (no caption track; it stands as watch content). The Carpetbagger — a wax-museum completist who sets the chain against Madame Tussauds and Louis Tussaud's — returns for what's new, past John Wayne (real name: Marion) into the saloon of country greats, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton among them. Attractions Magazine takes a short editorial pass over the figures and photo-op sets.

Period snapshots

Two films are honestly dated: BunnyPlaysHere's rainy-day visit is from 2020 — card payments only, props put away, the lineup of that season — and All Things Branson's walkthrough is from 2017, before the renovation. A 360-degree VR tour lets you stand among the figures. Figure lineups rotate; the films show each season as it stood.
