About
Retromania at 3307 State Hwy 76 is one of Branson's longer-running multi-activity entertainment venues, offering the combination of go-karts, mini-golf, arcade games, and a restaurant in a single complex on the main entertainment strip. The retro theme runs through the decor — nostalgic Americana that gives the venue a distinct personality compared to generic family fun parks.
For families looking to consolidate activities and food into a single stop, Retromania's format has genuine appeal. Rather than driving between a go-kart track, a separate restaurant, and an arcade on different parts of the strip, everything is theoretically in one location. The diner-style restaurant means parents can grab a meal while older kids finish their go-kart runs.
A candid note: Retromania's Google rating of 3. 9 is lower than most Branson family attractions, which typically cluster at 4. 2–4.
8. Reading recent reviews before visiting is advisable — quality of individual attractions, food, and service can vary. The hours in public databases appear potentially unreliable, and calling ahead (+1 417-544-0143) before making a special trip is strongly recommended.
The venue has a strong history in Branson, but operational details may have shifted.
If everything is confirmed operating well, budget 1.5–3 hours and plan for per-activity pricing. The Strip location means parking and access are easy, and dozens of alternative restaurants are within minutes if the on-site food doesn't appeal.

From Reddit Parents
“I recommend Out of Space Couch Edition. It's cheap and loads of fun with others in the same room. Actually prefer it to Overcooked.”
