Half the size of the original, the Branson Titanic museum stands at 100 feet, and its bow sits in a flowing water fountain creating an illusion of the sea. You will be greeted by a British woman in a servant’s costume, who offers boarding passes with Titanic passenger’s names. During the tour, you can search throughout the museum for objects or stories pertaining to your passenger. At the end, you discover whether your passenger lived or perished.
There is a huge 18 foot Titanic model, actually the most accurate ever built! You may roam into the shipyard to see architectural plans, read personal stories about the builders and play in the boiler room where you may hoist a heavy shovel to put coal into a fake furnace.
