Titanic Museum Attraction

By far, one of the BEST attractions in the area! The employees are dressed like they worked on the actual Titanic. You’re given a card with some information on an actual person who was on the Titanic and at the end of the tour you get to see whether your person survived or perished. They give you listening devices so you can have a self guided tour. It was very educational and I learned a lot on the tour! They have an area where you can test the 28 degree water and feel the ice.

Cannot believe the amount of work it took to resurface the titanic and move it to Tennessee. Not to mention the restoration!
I’ll be honest I only looked at the outside because there is no way you’re getting me aboard the «Ghost Ship!»

Absolutely the best museum I’ve ever been to. Might be a bit boring for younger children. I think it is perfect for kids 8 and up.

I have always been fascinated by the tragedy of the Titanic, so this museum was right up my alley. If you are a historical nerd, you will LOVE this place.
Like I stated in my tip, purchase your tickets on their website. They quoted $ 28 adult tickets at the gate, and I had already checked Groupon ($ 20) and the museums website ($ 15), so I stepped out of the line and purchased tickets on my phone. It took about a minute and they already had my information in the system by the time I stepped back over to the counter.
There is a LOT of stuff in here. Lots of reading, and lots of Titanic artifacts. The audio tour is awesome, and I was glad you are able to go at your own pace, because I read sort of slow. I was also glad that the museum wasn’t very crowded, but I still felt rushed by the folks apparently attempting to break the speed record for running through a museum. Not really sure why those types waste their money on this type of thing, but to each their own…
There is also a separate audio tour for children, which I listened to a bit of out of curiosity. It would probably be appreciated by older children, but there isn’t really much here for small kids. The «iceberg» and 28 degree water were cool, and I’m sure kids would find that interesting. There were a couple of parties around us during our tour that had small children running amok, which I found strange.
My favorite part of the tour was the replica of the grand staircase. It’s a shame that you can’t take pictures inside, because it is BEAUTIFUL.
There are a couple of reasons I am rating this attraction 4 stars rather than 5. First, the ban on photographs. I understand why they do it, but it’s still a bummer. Also sort of lame that a little guy with a camera was following around a family with small children taking their picture to try to sell them later. Second, the entrance was not marked very well. I had to go in the gift shop and ask where to purchase tickets. Third, the gift shop is full of trinkets, some of which are pretty neat. However, the one that really unnerved me was the little snow globe type trinket that had water, a little Titanic, and a little iceberg inside. That struck me as being in bad taste… many people died due to that iceberg. I’m not one of those easily-​offended people, but will a museum 100 years from now depict the World Trade Center in a little bubble with little jets floating around it? The Titanic WAS the ⁹⁄₁₁ of that generation. Just my two cents…
All in all, I recommend the Titanic museum, but maybe wait a few years if you have very small children. They will NOT enjoy it, and will only annoy you and other patrons.

This place would be a nightmare during high season. We visited around 2pm on a Tuesday in February and still felt rushed trying to get through everything. The tour is long and includes a lot of reading. I would highly recommend wearing good walking shoes. About half way through my feet were killing me and I had to keep sitting down. The price was pretty good, I felt like I got my moneys worth.

My family and I came here last week on vacation and thought it was fabulous. I wasn’t sure what to expect and the first room of the exhibit seemed to set the stage for disappointment, but I was wrong! I loved that the crowd dispersed and evened out by the fourth or fifth room. The exhibit is designed to feel as if you are on the ship which I loved. I thought they had an amazing set of artifacts and especially loved the way they set up the front of the ship where it felt freezing cold and you could touch the water/​iceberg.
You receive a «ticket» with the name and info of an actual person onboard the titanic, which kept you engaged and looking for your person’s information and artifacts throughout the museum. Thought that was a great touch.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and I thought the tour was well worth the money and time.

We came on the recommendation of our friends. It’s a museum with an audio tour and a few manipulatives. I would’ve liked more manipulatives because I love to interact with things. When you enter you get a boarding pass with a person’s name and story and you get to be that person. They give you people based on your gender but I am sure you could request differently if you so desired.
I noticed my person’s story was super detailed whereas my husband’s was vague. Mine survived and his didn’t. I am not sure if that’s a pattern or not but it was something I noticed.
You can’t take pictures inside due to reasons so they hike up the prices of their green screen pictures. We didn’t like ours so we didn’t get it.
I think my favorite parts were the stories about the passengers, the scale models, and the grand staircase. I would love to visit the sister museum in Branson if I ever visit there again!
