The boat proudly presents two hours of unforgettable entertainment unlike any other show in Branson. Powerhouse performances feature live music, dancing, comedy, magic and more on the open waters of Table Rock Lake. Relive great soundtrack movie moments for a throwback journey to the days of Risky Business, Grease, Saturday Night Fever and even The Ghostbusters. Sing along with songs you are sure to recognize from the 60s to today performed by a talented troupe of singers backed by a 4-piece band! Plus, laugh out loud with the comedy and magic of our master of ceremonies and be amazed by the rhythm and footwork of our troupe of 5-star dancers. On every cruise, thrill to four grand decks of beautiful Table Rock Lake views before sitting down to a three-course meal. There’s entertainment everywhere with additional acoustic performances on the boat’s top deck that you won’t want to miss! The 700-seat paddle wheeler, Showboat Branson Belle, departs White River Landing now thru December 31. Cruise times vary by day at Noon, 4 and 8pm and boarding begins 45 minutes prior to cruise time.

One Of America’s Top Water Parks Opens For Summer For water lovers, poolside loungers and adventurers seeking family fun, White Water, a tropical oasis along Branson’s famed entertainment district, is turning on the waves this summer thru September 6. Guests can dive into 13 acres of water rides and slides. Voted as a top 5 Best Outdoor Water Park by USA Today’s 10Best, White Water has a dozen themed attractions for every age and thrillseeking level. Slides and pools include the high-adventure KaPau Plummet, where riders step inside a launch capsule atop a four-story tower where the countdown begins: 3…2…1 KAPAU! The bottom of the slide drops out, creating a free fall, followed by a spiraling loop before splashdown. High thrill carries over to the 7-story, 6-slide Kalani Towers. Or for a relaxing adventure, Aloha River is a winding tropical river, where guests float through turns with fountains and geysers. Coconut Cove is for the littles with slides, blasters, tipping buckets and more. What’s adventure without an appetite? Try fresh-baked pizza, a selection of BBQ, burgers, salads, iced coffees, fresh lemonade and made-to-order smoothies. Plus, Hula Hula Taco stays true to its name offering island-inspired fare. For those wanting a more private space, rental cabanas are available. Additionally, check out Night Water dates – open until Midnight – July 14-17. Be sure to go online to SilverDollarCity.com to check out a calendar of operating dates and hours and make plans to visit!

It’s time to “Shine and Dine” Smith Creek Moonshine is an authentic moonshine tasting attraction with two locations in Branson, Missouri. Their flagship location is at the heart of the Branson Landing and their newest location can be found at Tanger Outlets. Moonshine is simply made from a base of corn, sugar, yeast, and water. However, they took this traditional recipe to a whole new level by adding a special twist of different flavors, sometimes smooth, sometimes bold, but flavors that are always distinct. Flavors like Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Butter Cake, and Sweet Tea to name a few. At the heart of the Smith Creek Moonshine experience is the opportunity to sample all of the flavored shines at the complimentary tasting bar. Eager to share all that they know, the bartenders enthusiastically explain the story behind each flavor, and there are plenty from which to choose. The wide variety of flavors that they offer gives the guests a complete moonshine-tasting experience unlike any other, which gives them an opportunity to discover their favorite flavors before heading home with a few jars. In addition to the complimentary tasting bar, Smith Creek Moonshine also features a restaurant, mixed moonshine cocktail bar (Branson Landing location), as well as a retail store where guests can purchase bottled moonshines, apparel, sauces, dry rubs, scented candles, and so much more. Whether you love moonshine or are just trying it out for the first time, don’t miss the chance to “Shine and Dine” at Smith Creek Moonshine.
