Theres a lot of options, look online for places like turpentine creek big cat sancutary, busiek nature and wildlife area, Ruth and Paul Henning conservation area. Theres also a drive through wildlife park, dont recall its name. There is also in the area a wildlife preservation park, dont recall its name either, but when we went there, there were a lot of waterfowl and Bald Eagles, deer and some Elk.
The pic attatched is one taken there several years ago.

The first 7 Albums in this Collection might give you some ideas: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/collections/72157623076798542/
The Shepherd of the Hills show is interesting, and Hollister is a quaint little town.

Your best friend for Sony cameras;
Sony A6000 – The Friedman Archives – Stock Photo Images ...
www.friedmanarchives.com › sony-a6000
Written for one of the best travel cameras ever made, this comprehensive yet easy-to-understand guide for the Sony Alpha 6000
I believe they have an E book that you can download and take with you. If all else fails put the dial on the green 'Auto" and fire away.
Good shooting.

For wildlife in the Branson area: Dogwood Canyon 25 miles south of Branson which is operated by Bass Pro. Take their Wildlife Tram, make reservations before you drive down there.
If you are a wildlife fan try the huge Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium in Springfield, MO about 30 miles north of Branson....it will take about 3 hours to see it all....the aquarium was voted best aquarium in US a couple of years ago....it also is a Bass Pro facility. Have fun in Branson (utilize the back road shortcuts to avoid traffic, there are back road maps at all hotels, etc). We love Silver Dollar City, lots of fun.....arrive early to avoid the traffic. Marvel Cave in Silver Dollar City is also interesting.

Make sure to get out of tourist-town for at least some of your time. Lots of great country nearby. Look at state parks (I was super at Roaring River some decades ago, great countryside though a bit of a drive through the Ozarks). Northern Arkansas has options, too. Not sure if Eureka Springs is within an easy drive, but an intersting town (touristy in its own unique way from Branson).
Try to get some extra practice in with the camera, especially to get useful action. Mess around with panning (even a car driving by) and try out "action" settings on the camera to see how shutter speed is handled.

Welcome to the Hog. David Busch also has an excellent book on the a6000, which is a great camera for traveling. If you do not have much experience using it, put the mode dial on Auto, which will produce good pics in most circumstances.
If you plan to take action shots, where the subjects are in motion, you should set the mode dial on S and increase the shutter speed to stop movement. The books explain how to set up your camera for different scenes and situations. You may also want to consult someone with more photography experience, and then practice before you leave. There are also some useful tutorials on the a6000 on the internet, for example:
https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrJ6SVYiUley6gAnFJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE0aXNrb3JhBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQTA2MTVfMQRzZWMDcGl2cw--?p=mode+settings+on+sony+a6000&fr2=piv-web&fr=yfp-t#id=12&vid=6141801919a00d74fb53a0aa7f4abf75&action=view
Windows and Apple each have a basic built-in photo editing program if you need to adjust the pics when you get home. Have a good trip!

Most of the interesting wildlife in Branson is on the city streets before or after showtime.

You've already got a lot of pointers. I'll add another..... You gotta eat. The Brandon Belle dinner cruise is good. I got some good shots, a good dinner and show.
