Adventure Parks

Branson’s adventure attractions are the counterweight to its theaters – the reason a trip here works for teenagers as well as grandparents.

Twenty-two attractions are gathered on this page. Silver Dollar City is the anchor: an 1880s-themed park with genuine roller coasters and a craft-demonstration side most theme parks do not attempt. White Water is its water-park sibling. Ziplines and canopy tours run at Shepherd of the Hills – the Vigilante Extreme ZipRider, the 8-Lines Canopy Tour and the Sky Trek Challenge ropes course – and at Branson Zipline’s Ozarks Explorer. Copperhead Mountain Coaster and Runaway Mountain Coaster are gravity-driven alpine coasters. Fritz’s Adventure is an indoor climbing and obstacle complex that earns its keep on a rainy day, WonderWorks an upside-down science attraction, and Butterfly Palace & Rainforest Adventure a gentler indoor option. Several museums and the VIP Tours guided food, sightseeing and holiday-lights tours also appear here.

Two practical notes. The coasters and ziplines carry height and weight limits, so check them before promising a child a ride. And winter hours shorten considerably at the outdoor attractions – the individual pages are the place to confirm before you build a day around one.

Shepherd of the Hills – Vigilante Extreme ZipRider

The Vigilante Extreme ZipRider is Branson’s most exciting way to enjoy the beautiful Ozarks countryside! Located on the grounds of the historic Shepherd of the Hills Homestead, the ZipRider is fast enough to give you the thrilling ride-of-your-life, yet zips at a pace that allows you to enjoy the gorgeous view from heights of up to 170 feet in the air! Speeds reach up to 50mph, and a group of four can ride together side-by-side with each in their own seat.
