Grand Country Waterpark Resort

Reading the reviews I was a bit skeptical going into the trip but it ended up being pretty enjoyable, especially to the kids. I will say when we arrived, I didn't have high hopes. Bright lights, outdated style and overly tacky tourist town feel. Rooms, we were in Building 3 which are double queens, aren't anything better than a Days Inn BUT clean and comfortable. They look exactly like online but not as bright. Food: Pizza was standard and came with our room. Not sure I would have paid $15 for it but since it was "free" it was good. Prices at the concessions were a bit pricey but you don't eat there much. Would have like to try the Miner's Cafe(in waterpark by Treehouse) but didn't get to. Looked to be good prices and nice variety. We passed on eating at the dinner buffet because our kids are picky eaters and it was a bit pricey for what they would have eaten. We did do the breakfast buffet which we found reasonably priced with lots of variety. Coffee is pretty bland and most places in Branson we didn't find flavored creamer BUT our waitress dolled up our coffees and made them manageable. Entertainment: Pets and Giggles didn't have many pets as you would have thought from the pictures. It was fine. Kids laughed a lot with the fart jokes, 6 7, blah blah. Was a little slow after intermission but the performers did have lots of energy and were fun. Putt putt was standard. Got a little crowded at night. Go Karts were fun; tickets came with the "deal" and we probably wouldn't have paid for it if we came again. Laser tag was cheap and actually pretty fun if you get a larger group in the arena. Fun Spot arcade was the best. Very reasonably priced games with lots of tickets for the kids to buy all the normal junk arcades offer for prizes. Pools: Regular pool was standard sized and had a small hot tub in it. Good place for people who just want to let their kids to go in without having to be arms length away. Water park was what I read about. Our kids(11, 8, 6) had a good time. I understand the reviews about the lifeguards and their "power trips" with the whistles and arms length rules for under 48 inch tall kids but I totally get it. You have to draw the line somewhere and if they were relaxed on it, people would let their kids just run free and I can see the safety concerns. The wave pool could be challenging for those shorter kids and the lazy river gets packed pretty fast and has a couple faster paced corners. If you got littles, be prepared to get in and be part of their experience or you're going to hate the water park. Staff: Staff was overall friendly. Water park and Fun Spot staff didn't have great body language but understandable. They're having to deal with chaos for a long period of time and mostly get bad feedback because they rarely were engaged in conversation with people. When we did talk to them they were very friendly and not rude at all. Overall, it was enjoyable experience for the kids. We may not stay on property again but if we come back to Branson we will definitely come onto property for some entertainment.

Reserved a family package kinda last minute for son, girlfriend, two girls AND me (grandma). Package came with coupons for two adults and up to four kids. So i had to pay for separate toom which was two thirds the cost of the pkg with no coupons for anything. However check in was exceptionally warm and friendly, shout out to Jose, who got me headed in the righ direction. Rooms were country themed but clean and comfortable. We got two pizzas, show tickets for everyone to two shows and some mini golf, bumper car and arcade tickets, however we only got to use one set of show tickets because we were short on time and most of the shows are at the same time, ate the pizza at an odd hurried time, the bumper cars werent opened our second day so we disnt get to use tickets we paid for so as i said with better planning we could have maximized this package better. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. Will definitely viait again AND use a package. I believe it was worth it and overall we had a great time.

Seen all the shows December 5th- Grand Jubilee, Comedy Jamboree, Branson Country, Down Home Country had a blast love the singers actors all of it definitely worth the trip

I would recommend not going unless all of your children are 48 inches or taller. We mainly were interested in the water park and my 47 inch tall daughter who can swim better than me was restricted to doing just a few things and my 37 inch daughter was only allowed to do one slide. They also had rules like your child has to be within arms reach. Each area had different rules and my sensitive child was crying because she accidentally broke the rules. We went with 3 children and the youngest was 6 weeks old so only one parent was available to be within arms reach of 2 children. The water park area didn’t have just a plain swimming pool and one of my girls wanted to practice swimming and that was not allowed in any of the areas. The lazy river had one in step and one out step but my kids aren’t old enough to read their signs. I did read it to them but they forgot. In addition being middle of the week in October there were maybe 40 people total in the facility and one family (mine) on the lazy river so making a child cry for using the wrong step seems excessive.

It was a fun place however the rooms aren’t family friend especially if you have toddlers

We love that you don’t really need to leave the property to anything! Everything we did was family friendly and 5-year-old appropriate. He loved the Fun Spot and laser tag. The tickets for the arcade don’t expire for 2 years, so we kept our card and will definitely be back next time.

Staff was super friendly, but rooms are very outdated. Ours had spiderwebs and spiders in the bunk beds where our daughter slept. Bathroom is smaller than some we’ve had at European hotels. Rooms are very outdated, cover to AC unit outside was on the ground. There was only one other family staying at the hotel at th same time as us and they put us next door to each other. Not sure why they’d do that and it wouldn’t be an issue, but the walls are paper thin and you could hear their tv on all night and their conversations. We were also disappointed in the buffet because half of it was closed so there was very limited food available. I would never stay here again.

Clean room! Clean waterpark!

Clea room, so much to do and see for the family, the fun spot is so much fun! We absolutely loved the waterpark too!! The buffet is a great food option and we had a great time!!

The clubhouse room is adorable! The grandsons loved it. We could have had a full weekend and never left the resort!
