As the last days of May draw closer, it can only mean that White Water is finally open.
On Saturday, May 27, to mark the official start of summer vacation in Branson, White Water turned the water pumps back on and put the inflatables on display for the start of Memorial Day weekend.

Ranked as one of the top outdoor water parks by USA Today’s 10Best Readers, White Water features more than a dozen rides and slides. plus new lounge chairs and additional shaded seating throughout the park for 2023.
Whether guests are new to the park or consider themselves whitewater experts, adventure seekers of all abilities will relish the thrill of free-fall as the ground falls out of their feet on the KaPau Plummet and they descend four stories through a 360-degree 360-degree spiral -degree horizontal plunge loop; all at 26 feet per second.
For riders more fascinated by heights, the Kalani Towers will be their next fun challenge. As White Water’s tallest slide structure, it rises seven stories above the Ozark Mountains and features two types of drop slides.
