White Water park in Branson - Branson MO Water Park Amusement Water Slide

The summer in Missouri is undeniably hot and humid. While many venues at Branson respond by simply turning up the air conditioning, the White Water park in Branson takes a different approach. Instead of additional AC, White Water offers two million gallons of water to play in all day long.

Part of the Silver Dollar City family fun complex, White Water is a 12 acres water park in the heart of the Branson strip. Rides are tailored to offer something for the whole family. This included offerings for the surly teenager in your life - if a 312 foot racing water slide can't get them into the spirit of vacation, you may want to drop them down one of the 300 foot free-fall slides when they aren't paying attention.

However, the park isn't all about racing and heart stopper slides. The Little Squirts Waterworks has miniature waterfalls, shallow wading pools, and low level slides that kids will enjoy and parents will allow. Splash Island also offers wading and light swimming fun for younger kids.

Surfers will also feel right at home. The heart of Missouri may not feel like it should be a surfing haven. However, White Water has constructed a 500,000 gallon surf pool for body surfing and tubing. Even experienced surfers have reported getting in good rides at the surf pool.

Those who don't want to wade, surf, or slide will be interested in the rides. The Tropical Twister is a looping maze ride, while the Raging River Rapids simulate a white water experience. Do note that the Raging River Rapids has a 400 foot plunge. . . not for the faint hearted!

The White Water park in Branson is open in the summers. The typical season runs May to September, with start days and final days decided by the prevailing temperatures. Season passes are available for water park addicts. Trained lifeguards make up the staff and rescue personnel are always on duty in case of mishap or over enthusiasm in the water.
