Family Friendly Fun: The Titanic Museum!

Titanic Museum

 

In September, we were fortunate enough to squeeze in a family vacation, despite the fact that my husband recently started a new job and has very little time available to take off of work.  We live about 3 hours from Branson, Missouri, so it’s an easy choice of somewhere family friendly to go, that’s not a long trip for us.

 

We’ve been going to Branson for years and we always drive past the Titanic Museum, but never took the time to visit it.  The kids kept begging though!  To be honest, I was worried the younger kids wouldn’t like it and we have a lot of younger kids!

 

This time, we decided we wanted to give it a try.  To our delight, all the kids had a great time!  They all came away LOVING it!

 

I couldn’t take pictures while in the museum, but wow, were we impressed with everything we got to see while we were there.

 

When we arrived, we were welcomed aboard the ship and given audio devices and a short lesson on how to use them.  They had certain devices for kids and ones for older kids & adults where we could take an audio guided tour that explained each main point throughout the museum.

 

They also gave each of us a card explaining who we were on the boat.  The card gave a brief history of who that person was and we were supposed to find out if we lived or died at the end of our voyage.  Amazingly, of the 8 cards that we received, most of our lives were spared!  What made it even more fun, is that the kids were given cards to represent children that were on the Titanic and adults were given adult cards.  We all had different ones, and that made our experience that much more enjoyable!

 

There were many highlights to the museum.  From seeing just how many children were on the boat, to seeing how many and what types of dogs were aboard.  The absolute favorite for my kids was seeing how long they could keep their hand in the water that was the same temperature of the water that the ship was sinking into.  I had one brave child make it over 3 minutes!  Her hand was so completely numb!

 

Did You Like the Titanic Museum?  What Was Your Favorite Part?

 

Since I have such a wide age range of children, I thought I’d ask them what they thought of our visit and share that with you.  They all thought it was a really neat experience!

 

  • Mom:  I loved that it made education fun.  We could learn about the history of the building of the Titanic boat and enjoy learning.  There were many neat artifacts and a fun, hands on way to learn some history and spend time together as a family.
  • Son, Age 17:  “I liked learning how historically accurate the movie was.”
  • Daughter, Age 14:  “I liked the part where they had names on the boarding passes and you could follow the story of the person on your card.  I also liked hearing about how the musicians played the whole time, until they literally couldn’t any more.”
  • Daugter, Age 12:  “I think it was the really cold room.”
  • Daughter, Age 9:  “Putting my hand in the cold water and the cold room!”
  • Daughter, Age 5:  “The freezing cold water!  It was neat to feel how cold the Titanic water was.  I also liked the big ice cube at the beginning and the shovel where you could shovel coals into the fire to keep the boat going.”
  • Son, Age 3:  “I liked the little phone thing with the music”.   (LOL, this was the audio device…it really made an impression on him!)
  • Baby, Age 6 months:  While I loved looking at all the cool things, I was so glad that it was baby and stroller friendly.  Mom even found a nice bench to take a break on while she fed me.  A baby’s got to eat when a baby’s got to eat.  Even in the Titanic Museum!

 

Obviously, we had a great time while we were there!  I would highly recommend the Titanic Museum if you are ever in Pigeon Forge, TN or Branson, MO.  It’s a great place to make lasting memories.  In fact, if you find you’re in the area soon, their Christmas season just opened up on November 1st.  Go see the Titanic all decked out in it’s Christmas garb.  I bet it’s beautiful in there!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
