Finding family-friendly fun in Missouri is pretty easy. Where it might get tricky, however, is getting everyone in the family to agree to the same destination at the same time. You just might be lucky enough to avoid that lighthearted discussion next time you recommend spending a few hours or the day at Beyond the Lens in Missouri.
Billed as “techno-tainment,” Beyond the Lens promises an action-packed, interactive day of fun and a ton of opportunities for photos (and selfies, too).
The popular Branson attraction is all about “exploring the best of pop culture” in a unique and memorable way. Climb aboard the FlyRide, for example, where you’ll “fly” across the U.S. and see some of the country’s most popular landmarks.
Experience a range of special effects – from dips and turns to wind and mist – on your one-of-a-kind flight. If you’re a fan of bumper cars, you’ll definitely want to try Flip Zone.
However, this isn’t your typical bumper car experience. Buckle in to a special chair, and bump into your friends like normal on this ride that also flips 360 degrees – both vertically and horizontally.
Love taking selfies? Paradise awaits – and so do some one-of-a-kind selfie experiences with Elvis and in the White House. You can also show off with millions of “dollars” in cash.
Remember the kaleidoscopes we used to put up to our eye as kids and move around for colorful images? You can walk through a life-sized kaleidoscope at Beyond the Lens.
