We had time to kill before we could checkin, so the first place all my girls ventured towards was the creek. Osage Creek, a brisk walk from our parking spot, had water snakes, fish, and small black crayfish - yet none of this bothered my kids or our dog. It was so dang hot on July 24, 2025 that the kids walked barefoot in the creek and the dog plopped down on her belly for a break. Lol. A walking path, public restrooms, and playground were nearby. Free parking. Trash free. The only thing that caught us off guard was when an unleashed dog rushed over to my leashed canine. The owner was slow to respond yet apologetic. Huge fan.

We got there shortly after they opened and was lucky enough to snag a couple chairs in the shade. After a bit we got in line for some food and it was pretty chaotic. You get in a line, grab what you want, and pay at the register at the end of the line. It was like pulling teeth trying to get the kids chicken tenders meal, which IMO, should be the thing they always keep stocked. Contrary to what other reviews say, there's a good amount of water slides and things to do. My daughter and I had a blast. We only had one long wait in line, which was fine. If we go back to Branson, we will definitely go back.

I love Whitewater in Branson MO. I've been there a couple of times and had a very enjoyable…read moreexperience both times I went. It is a very fun place to go and splash around and cool off when the weather is warm. This place has water slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool, and it is just so much to go down all those slides with inner tubes or by yourself, relax in the slow-moving lazy room and feel the crash of the waves in the wave pool. It's got all the water recreation amenities one could ever want. Another one of my favorite things at Whitewater are the urinals in the mens' restroom aside from the locker room. That restroom has the tall, elongated floor-standing urinals and I love using those. It's one of my favorite water parks and places in Branson. If you're in or near the Branson area during the warm months, you have to go this place and splash around. And adult waterparks are definitely my playground!

*** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Came here earlier in the summer and it was so fun. This is a great spot!!! We wanted to find a swimming hole one day, which I now know can be very difficult to do! After driving around and around to several different spots for hours, where place after place turned out to be unsuccessful or just nonexistent, we were almost ready to give up. Then we remembered one more spot we could try... a swimming hole we'd been to when I was a little kid, with surprisingly clear blue water. We couldn't remember the name at first, but after some calls to my Grandma (always a great resource!) she helped us remember that it was Little Blue! Little Blue was still a bit hard to track down, but we eventually made it there, and had FINALLY found a spot worth staying around for! The water was as pretty as we remembered. In the shallower parts, it's crystal clear and you can see lots of pretty rocks on the bottom and sometimes little fishies too! The deepest part becomes a pretty blue color, and the water went up to at least between my elbows and shoulders (maybe more?). That deepest part isn't a huge area, so a little hard to stake your claim on it if you are trying to social distance, but overall there's plenty of space to spread out. It seemed to me like there were two areas: the area I just described, and then more river down to the left of that. This second area is much less populated, but I can see why, as it kind of quickly starts to get a pretty fishy smell as you go further and also has some animal bones (yeah...). Aside from the water, there's also lots of parking space, where many people had also set up camp (as in literally to camp in a tent for the night). We went on a Saturday (reminder that this was also in the "heat" of summer, no pun intended) so there were quite a few people. However, we were still able to stay a safe distance from others... we did have to be pretty mindful of it though, since others did not appear to be doing the same. I would give 5 stars if it (and other swimming holes in Oklahoma) had better information for people to find and clearer locations/directions!!! It's honestly pretty ridiculous. Also because that second swimming area down to the left could use a little work.

Little Blue is our favorite little hidden gem in the summer time. Beautiful! Fun! Cold! Relaxing!…read moreWe love it!!!
