Grand Country Waterpark in Branson, Missouri

Grand Country Waterpark Resort is a multi-activity resort in downtown Branson. Much more than just a waterpark, Grand Country also features its own hotel, several restaurants, a shopping area, a music hall, and a number of other attractions. A hit with people who enjoy having everything they need under one roof, Grand Country attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year and is enjoyed by people of all ages.

The central focus of the resort is Splash Country, a waterpark that’s both indoors and outdoors. About 40,000 square feet in total size (inside and outside), Splash Country offers a variety of adventures for both swimmers and non-swimmers. The indoor park is open 365 days a year and includes a wide variety of attractions including the Treehouse, a multi-level interactive play feature that includes slides, climbing nets, and a 1,000 gallon tipping bucket; a basketball play pool with nets; a 2,000 square-foot toddler pool with bungee swings, a frog slide and more; a 250-foot lazy river that winds through a “natural” landscape; and two hot tubs, one for adults and one for kids. Outdoors, Splash Country includes the Eureka Mine waterslide; the Froggie Bog water-jumping attraction; and the Hatfield Holler, a twisting creek where fellow visitors lie in wait, ready to aim rifles and water-filled buckets at unsuspecting floaters. The outdoor waterpark is open in season.

 

Those who opt to stay at the onsite Grand Country Inn get free admission to the waterpark as well as plenty of other hotel amenities including clean and spacious rooms, an indoor swimming pool, a choice of restaurants and other eateries, and much more.     

Another popular part of the Grand Country complex is the Grand Country Music Hall, an onsite theater that presents about 1,000 performances a year. At any one time, at least 4 to 6 shows are in production at the Music Hall, ranging from a country music extravaganza to a rollicking comedy show to a Sunday afternoon gospel presentation. Some shows have remained at the music hall for several years while others change every few months.

Restaurants at Grand Country Waterpark Resort include the Grand Country Buffet, which offers breakfast, lunch, as well as dinner in all-you-can-eat style. Choices are vast, including both hot and cold foods, and the price is right. Guests can also dine at Papa Grand’s Pizza, also a buffet-style restaurant with selections of pizza with various toppings as well as a salad bar. Remember to check out the dessert pizza! Inside the waterpark, there’s the Mining Company Grill, which serves classic waterpark food like burgers, chicken and fish sandwiches, salads, funnel cakes, and smoothies. There’s also a frozen custard shop on site.

The 24,000 square-foot Grand Country Market features a variety of shops including a collectibles store, several souvenir shops, jewelry stores, a home décor shop, and a General Store complete with its own Fudge Shop.

Other attractions include the world’s largest banjo, dubbed Grand Country’s “Eiffel Tower”. This 3,000 pound replica of a Gibson banjo, located inside the Market building, has 47-foot fiber optic strings! Also at the Grand Country Market is the Veterans Patch Wall, a collection of thousands of patches from hundreds of branches, units, and divisions of the U.S. Armed Forces.
