BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — The southwest Missouri tourist town of Branson is getting a new science attraction called WonderWorks.
The Orlando, Florida-based operation announced this week that the new location will open in November in the former theater for the Baldknobbers, one of the longest-running country music shows in town.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that WonderWorks bills itself as “the indoor amusement park for the mind.”
Chief operations officer Janine Vaccarello says it appeals to all age groups, with a lot of hands-on activities and themed areas that cater to the interests of the communities where WonderWorks has a presence.
The Branson location will have a military room and a space devoted to the city’s history.
WonderWorks has other locations, including in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; Panama City Beach, Florida; and Syracuse, New York.
