Planning your Trip to Silver Dollar City

There are a few things that you need to know before you go to White Water in Branson.  We will start with tickets, hours, and some basic questions you might have about whitewater in Branson. 

What is White Water in Branson MO? ( Silver Dollar City Water Park in Branson)

White Water in Branson is a 13-acre water park.  There are ten different slides and attractions, including a lazy river, a wave pool, and a children’s play area.

Is Branson White Water Close to Silver Dollar City Amusement Park?

The answer is no.  It is not one of those water parks that is connected to the amusement park.  It is actually located five miles away or about a 10-minute drive.

So don’t plan on doing White Water the same day that you do the Silver Dollar City amusement park.

Food and Lockers at White Water 

Are There Places to Eat in the Park?

White Water in Branson has restaurants located within the park. They are more quick-service locations where you order at the counter.

I believe if you have a Silver Dollar City Mug you can use it at White Water Branson as well.

Is Outside Food Allowed?

Outside food is not allowed in the park. However, there is a picnic area located just out in front of the park.  We were able to have a picnic in this spot and thought it was great.

Lockers and Bags

You may bring a backpack into the park.  Lockers are available if you need to lock up valuables.  Small lockers cost $10 and family lockers are $18.  A $10 refundable deposit is taken as well.

Plan of Attack Branson White Water!

Dressing Rooms and Showers

If you need to change before or after the park showers and dressing rooms are available.

Life Jackets

Life jackets are free to use for children and non-swimmers.

Let’s Plan a Day at White Water in Branson

Obviously, the ages of your group will determine how to tackle the park.  The good news is it is fun for all ages. The ages of children and teens we had with us ranged from 5 to 18, and all had fun!

There are two areas for younger children (more on that later) And of course, there are slides for the older kids and teenagers, including drop towers.

What I love about White Water in Branson was that it provided a variety of options that I am used to in a water park, but at the same time, the size of the park is not overwhelming. 

Big enough to keep you busy for the day, but small enough so I felt very comfortable with my family splitting up.  I am pretty paranoid normally.

Favorite Rides at White Water Branson for Little Kids

This plan of attack is if you have little kids who do not want to or can not ride the bigger slides.  When my kids were little I would scope out all the areas of the water park that would be fun for my littles.  

At Silver Dollar City White Water I could easily find the areas that would be ideal for families with young children.

I would recommend Splashway Cay, Coconut Cove, the lazy river, and the Wave pool.

1. Splashway Cay

Splashway Cay is a huge splash pad with slides.  You can climb to different levels as you get sprayed with water.  There is a huge bucket on top that will dump every few minutes.

Unfortunately, when we went this area was closed.

2. Coconut Cove

Coconut Cove is an area for younger kids.  This area has fun slides that even really little kids can enjoy.  My five-year-old loved this area.  He felt confident going up and sliding down all by himself.

It is a great area in White Water Branson! 

3. Surf’s Up Wave Pool

Everyone loves a good wave pool!  If you are with younger children staying in the shallow area of the wave pool is really fun for them.

If they have life jackets on you may feel more comfortable bringing them in a little deeper.  Although most wave pools I have been in usually have a line that indicates that anyone in life jackets are not permitted past that point.

4. Aloha River at Hula Hula Bay

When my kids were really little sometimes grandma or grandpa would float on the river with one of the kids and they would just fall right asleep.  When my kids were a little older I would walk with them as they were inside the tube.

If you are entertaining little kids this will be fun and take up time!

Plan for Older Children and Adults

White Water Branson has some amazing water slides.  This plan will list out the slides that we loved and what our older kids thought about each one.

5. Ohana Falls

Ohana Falls is a fun family ride.  As long as your child is at least 36″ they can come on this ride.  This ride has a big raft (think of the type of raft used for a rapids ride at an amusement park), that goes down a wide slide. 

Four people are allowed to go on at a time, and you will need at least two people.

What is nice about this ride is the raft is waiting at the top for you. So you do not have to carry it up.  The bad news is that as you exit this ride you are at the very bottom of a large hill.  You have to climb what seems like a million stairs to get back to the main level of the water park.  (or go back around by the entrance).

We did it 4-5 times and then climbing back up didn’t bother us too much!

6. Kapau Plummet

Everyone in our family reunion group loved this ride.  What is unique about it is that you stand at the top of the ride and the floor disappears.  You are dropped down into a slide.

Personally, this was not my favorite ride at White Water in Branson because it hurts my back…I am just getting old.  And my husband had a great time with no complaints.  Kids love it!

7. Kalani Tower Mat Racers and Tower Drop

Kalani Tower Mat Racers is perfect when you have a larger group that is competitive.  Our family reunion crew loved racing each other.

The towers were a hit with the teenagers in our group.  They said it hurt but they kept going back for more.

8. Waikiki Wave 

This is a classic tube ride that twists and turns.  This ride is fun and will be one of your favorites!

9. Pipeline Plunge

Pipeline Plunge is more intense than the Waikiki Wave.  It is faster and twists a little more.  At the end of this ride, you will be splashed maybe even emerged in water.

Is White Water in Branson, MO Worth It?

I think this is a legit question.  There are so many fun activities in Branson, more than anyone could possibly do in one trip. Trying to narrow down what you want to add to your itinerary is important.

For us, White Water Branson made sense because we went during a pandemic and there were not a lot of open attractions.  We were excited that Silver Dollar City was open and so was the water park.  It just made sense to do both.

We also had a big group which made White Water perfect! There is something fun for everyone.  The kids loved splitting off with their cousins and enjoying the park.  The adults could relax by the pool or jump on the rides.

Overall, we all had a great day and loved White Water Branson.
