Great Day!

Posted by Clementine Kelley on Oct 22, 2022

The Canopy Zipline Tour was a lot of fun for my kids. They had a great day and felt extremely safe and at ease with the two guides. They relished every moment of it! Fantastic for all ages! Ages in our group ranged from 12 to 22. Everyone had a wonderful time!

GREAT HISTORICAL TEACHER

Posted by Marcelo Malik on Sep 2, 2022

What a wonderful adventure! John the Cowboy was a great history teacher / tour guide. He is quite knowledgeable about the past of the Shepherd of the Hills and the neighborhood, and he enthusiastically responds to any questions.!

HISTORICAL SHOW

Posted by Shelby Opal on Aug 31, 2022

An entertaining show of Branson's history and the beloved 1907 novel Shepherd of the Hills by Harold Bell Wright. The cast is wonderful and welcoming; everyone is committed to making the audience have a good time. This outdoor theater experience was made much better by the lovely Fall weather.

A Wonderful Scenery!

Posted by Elora Franky on Aug 11, 2022

The scenery outside is extremely peaceful! We found the play to be quite entertaining, and we particularly enjoyed the cast's preshow interactions with the audience's young members. There was a lot of enthusiasm at the concert. We enjoyed the historic story line!

GREAT TOUR GUIDES

Posted by Ronald Ledger on Jun 29, 2022

Starting off, everyone from check-in to the tour guides is excellent. Before you begin the eight various lines you will be on, explain everything you need to know. Eli and Eric were with us on our tour, and they are able to calm you down and keep you going, really tolerant. If you're considering a zip line trip. Try this place!
