February is especially sweet for visitors at the World’s Largest TITANIC Museum Attraction in Branson, Missouri as Sweetheart Month kicks off February 1. During the month guests are invited to celebrate their own love stories as they meet “Rose” and “Jack”, the star-crossed lovers in James Cameron’s Oscar-winning movie, Titanic.
“We have a number of character players at the museum attraction all year, and due to popular demand, we decided to add the film’s two most famous characters, Rose De Witt Buker and Jack Dawson for Sweetheart Month,” said museum attraction co-owner Mary Kellogg Joslyn.
For the first time anywhere, guests can interact with two young players as they appear in costumes drawn from original designs created by Deborah Scott for the Titanic movie. “Rose” will be dressed in the elaborate traveling suit and extravagant, wide-brimmed hat she wore on arrival at the ship. “Jack” will appear in the modest clothes of a third-class passenger.
Romance and adventure were definitely in the air when Titanic set sail on April 14, 1912. Fourteen couples traveling on Titanic were on their honeymoon, nine in first class. There were also young, brides-to-be sailing to America to start a new life. “We feel that blending the reality of the Titanic experience with the fictional aspects of the movie will help create a whole new appreciation of this incredible story,” Kellogg Joslyn said.
The TITANIC Museum Attraction is open from 9a.m to 5p.m during Sweetheart Month. Admission is $17.92 plus tax for adults and $9.99 plus tax for children ages 5-12. Children under 5 are admitted free. Family passes are available for $46.60 plus tax for two adults and up to four children under the age of 18 and still living at home.
