Other top Branson attractions in the Silver Dollar City family include Celebration City, starting seven-day operation this weekend. Celebration City stakes claim to the largest new ride in the Ozarks and two new animal-themed shows. Silver Dollar City’s Bluegrass & BBQ Festival continues, featuring numerous internationally-awarded performers and a special performance by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on May 30.

At Branson’s tropical adventure park, White Water, families can surf more than 2 million gallons of water throughout the park that includes White Water’s newest and biggest ride ever, Kalani Towers, with its 7-story, 300-foot slides. With nearly 7,000 feet of slides and more than a dozen rides and attractions, White Water is the ultimate family summer experience.
