Family travelers to Branson, Missouri, are in for a wet and wild summer as Silver Dollar City’s White Water is now open for the 2024 season, with its more than 13 acres of slides and pools. Dive-in movies also return for the waterpark’s 44th season.

 

Exciting slides await, like the 7.5-story Kalani Towers, a pair of slides reaching more than 40 mph. KaPau Plummet is a freefall experience by way of the 70-degree trapdoor start. Rafts that can accommodate a family of four careen down a massive halfpipe at Ohana Falls.

 

For a more relaxing experience, drift down Aloha River at more than 800 feet long and offering lush greenery and plenty of shade. Coconut Cove and Splashaway Cay boast slides, water blasters, bubbling fountains, tipping buckets and more for the littlest family members.

 

Food offerings include tacos, pizza, hand-cut fries, hand-breaded chicken tenders, iced coffee, smoothies, shakes, fresh-made mini donuts and more. Reserved seating options range from lounge seating to premium cabanas with meal service, television and lockers.

 

On select Fridays and Saturdays in July and select Saturdays in August, Night Water allows for extended park hours, when Surf’s Up Wave Pool’s big screen plays family-friendly movies. Now open daily through Aug. 13, weekend hours run Aug. 16 to Labor Day.
