    Great stop along route to or from Branson Missouri or while traveling through the state!

    We had a bus of 26 seniors and loved visiting Missouri Down Under. Families and adults of all ages will enjoy this fun stop.

    Plan to spend 2 - 3 hours!
    Stretch your legs, meet and visit with a variety of snimals, including lemurs, exotic birds kangaroos! One highlight was petting and feeding the kangaroos. These rescued animals have been given a second chance at this small new zoo.

    We also thoroughly enjoyed going on the cave tour - where we spent about 20 minutes on an excellent guided tour!
    The staff is very knowledgeable and we were glad to stop in and support this great spot!

    We spent two days seeing and kayaking the Current River. We started our trip at Aker’s Ferry and got out at Round Spring, a 20-mile trip. Beautiful scenery that was filled with the sound of birds. Along the way there were many rock cliffs, caves, and sprigs.

    First off the people at the Landing were wonderful took us up the river and got us into our raft no problems at all. However this would be a 10/10 float trip except for the idiots in their boats that fly up and down the river dodging in and out of all the rafts, canoes, tubes, etc. I’m honestly surprised that there isn’t more accidents. We did the 9 mile float which was great then the second day we went South of Van Buren to big springs in our own kayaks and it was another spectacular trip besides the idiots in the boats. If you are unfamiliar with boating rules don’t worry about it they don’t know either. Just keep your head on a swivel and enjoy nature at its finest.
