Top of the Rock Ozarks Heritage Preserve

It's a wonderful experience visiting the Top of the Rock. The golf cart ride was eventful and were there during the winter but would say the best time to get there is during the summer or after February. It was around 40 mins drive from downtown depending on traffic. The tickets cost was around $40 per person & you will get a self driving golf cart to watch around the 2 mile mountain trail. There are couple of scenic view places of waterfalls in and outside the rock. The waterfall inside has been shed with Lights. Overall good experience and you can also visit the museum with a free shuttle from this place and has plenty of parking available.

Must see! This was an amazing experience! We loved the golf cart tour and the scenery was phenomenal. This allowed our physically handicap kiddo to ride along and participate. There were caves, falls, and so much to experience. Really worth the stop. We did daytime, return for night time if you can!

This was a stop on our recent Mother/Daughter (66 & 45) trip and we loved it! Mother has some mobility issues so hikes aren’t an option for her - this being a self-driven golf cart tour was PERFECT to give her the opportunity to get out in nature and enjoy a beautiful morning. Things worth noting: • There is a $10 entry fee when you arrive to the property that is not included in the tickets. • Everything is card payment only - they are completely cashless. •Buy tickets online ahead of time - the line gets long. •Carts start rolling at 8:30, but they open around 8. Plan to get there at 8 so you can sign the waivers and be ready to roll out when they start to avoid crowds. •Use the restroom before you head out on the trail - there are no restrooms except at the Welcome Center for the trail. I was disappointed that the Chapel of the Ozarks didn’t open till 4p. I’m not sure if this is a daily thing, or if something was going on the day of our visit, but we didn’t get to go inside. The museum is WAY bigger than we expected - we thought it would be a short walk through, but we were WRONG. It was filled with all sorts of interesting stuff, but my mom was five out by the time we made it through as we were expecting a small exhibit! Overall take: it was a great way to spend a morning and I plan to take my husband back!
