Family Travel: Best of the Midwest
#5: White Water, Branson, MO
The city named for the owner of a general store in the 1880s has made its mark on the entertainment map as more than 50 clubs and celebrity-run theaters (including Andy Williams and the Oak Ridge Boys) call Branson home. But those who prefer their fun to be a little wetter flock to a different kind of entertainment at White Water. The 12-acre water park offers more than 2 million gallons of water and 7,000 feet of waterslides, including the seven and a half story Kalani Towers and the Bermuda Triangle. The park, which opened about 100 years after Mr. Branson's original store, is part of the Silver Dollar City attractions.
