The popular water park White Water is having extended hours that go into the night July 2nd to the 10th. You can literally enjoy the exciting rides, delicious food, and great atmosphere the brings people back year after year all day with the extended hours that go from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. It’s a great opportunity for families or friends to get together for some good times.

Imagine taking the 75 foot drop from Kalani Towers in the dark or gliding down the lazy river in the relaxing evening hours. You won’t have to worry about applying sunscreen or getting too hot when the sun goes down and you continue to play. The later evening hours even extend to the dining areas around the park, so you can enjoy dinner or a late night treat at the park. It’s the perfect way to spend a day in Branson!

While you’re enjoying the great water at White Water, don’t forget to take in some of the Branson Shows that made the area famous. There are many great options to choose from!

Branson visitors, prepare for year-round water park fun in ’09 with the coming addition of Castle Rock Resort & Waterpark. Formerly known as Atrium Inn, Castle Rock Resort & Waterpark has completely renovated its current rooms throughout the last part of 2008, while expanding with an additional 100 suites and indoor waterpark.

The indoor waterpark itself is not set to be open until mid February, though guests can currently take advantage of the resort’s accommodations. Both standard rooms and a variety of suites are available for reservation and coupled with amenities including a children’s activity center and Castle Rock Restaurant.

Of course, the main draw of Castle Rock is undoubtedly its indoor waterpark, and while there’s still over a month before its official opening the resort has already presented the public with an idea of what to expect. As just a sample, the waterpark will feature three slides, splash pool, lazy river, and even outdoor options including a wading pool and activity pool for when the weather does cooperate with your vacation plans! Below, you’ll find a detailed list of the current activities set to be part of the grand opening of the waterpark.
