FIELD GUIDE
The story
On the Highway 76 entertainment strip in Branson, the Hollywood Wax Museum is home to what its own website calls the Great Ape of Branson. The museum's website mentions the ape as a sight along the Highway 76 Entertainment District and describes a free lot off Judy Street. A Tripster listing describes the movie-themed exterior with the ape scaling the skyscraper facade, a spot for posing for photographs. The museum is a ticketed attraction, so the ape is best enjoyed from the street.
