This attraction is just a couple of years old, but it has the feel of a vintage course with some modern touches. Some of the dinosaurs actually lived somewhere else before they migrated to Branson. Originally they were part of Jim Sidwell’s Jolly Golf in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. After Jolly Golf became extinct some of the dinosaurs were saved and landed here at Prof. Hackers.
You can read more about Jim Sidwell’s miniature golf courses and theme parks in Tim Hollis’ in-depth book called The Land of the Smokies Great Mountain Memories. More of Jim Sidwell's dinosaur handy work can be seen at Dinosaur Land in White Post, Virginia.

That isd one sad looking, droopy stegasaurus. It wuldn't keep me away though.
See that brokedown mannequin crawling away up the mountain in picture #8? I'd give my eyeteeth to climb up and get a closeup of it.
Get the clubs, honey, we're heading to Branson!
Thanks for sharing your photos!

Hey Todd, I'm getting in the car now... can you meet me here in a couple hours? Shit man I live for stuff like this.
And if Dane is climbing up there to get a close up of Professor Hacker I'm going to rifle through his pockets alongside her for fossils.
Rozum - Yeah, the more sad and cheesy the dionsaur the better!
Dane - Ok, two eyeteeth please!
Mike - This place is worth the trip. Branson is becoming a place for many other things besides country music. They might be getting a Beatles museum. Sir Paul visited Branson recently to talk with George Harrison's sister about it.
Karswell - Oops, hope you haven't been waiting long as I'm just now catching up on my comments. Ok while Dan is getting a close-up and you're going thru his pockets, I'll be stealing his time machine.
There are some great Branson shows there. Did you get to see any of them/
There are nearly a dozen cool mini golf courses in Branson and Dinosaur Canyon is a lot of fun! It's right in the heart of town too, so it's easy to get there and then see some of the other stuff in town.
