Silver Dollar City is an amusement park with more than 30 thrilling rides and attractions. One of the most popular rides is the Wildfire, which soars high in the sky, loops around, and gets up to 66 miles per hour. The Track Family Fun Park in Branson is filled with bumper boats, bumper cars, a caged Ferris wheel, spinning tea cups, and multiple Go-Kart tracks. The Wild Woody Go-Karts is almost 1,500 feet long, and four-stories high.
Branson's White Water has more than 7,000 feet of water slides. For kids that are looking for a thrill there is the Bermuda Triangle, which sends them down a dark, enclosed, slide until they splash into the water. For kids that want to relax, there is a lazy river. Grand Country Resort features Splash Country, an indoor and outdoor water park. Both water parks offer slides that feature twists, turns, and free-falls into water.
The Branson Hamner Barber Variety Show is a great show to take your kids to during the summer. This show features illusionists, comedians, ventriloquists and musicians. Branson's Dixie Stampede is a four-course dinner and performance combination. It is especially fun for kids because they serve food like corn on the cob and potatoes, so they can eat with their hands. This show has a rodeo feel to it, and features animals like horses and buffaloes, stunt riders, magicians, racers and interactive fun.
One of the most popular summer attractions for kids is the Branson Duck rides. You'll enjoy a guided tour of Branson from land and then from the water. Sometimes the tour guides will even let the kids drive the duck on the water for a few moments. Branson Balloon offers hot air balloon rides for the entire family. There is no view of Branson that beats the one you will get when you are soaring through the sky, over the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake.
During the summer Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum is open until 11 p.m. Kids love this museum because it displays unbelievable facts in an interactive environment. Hollywood Wax Museum is full of wax figures of your favorite TV, movie, music, history and sports stars.
