The Big Surf Water Park is in Linn Creek, Lake of the Ozarks and is a popular outdoor watery and non-watery attraction
for families. The park features lots of fun rides, all of which have a watery theme, and are designed to appeal to kids of all ages—not to mention adults!
For the exceptionally brave types with no fear of heights, the Zambezi Falls is one of the best rides in the 
area. I am scared of heights, but I was persuaded to give it a go and although I was totally petrified at the top, the trip down the four-story half pipe into the pool below was totally awesome.
Other really cool rides at the Big Surf Water Park include the Space Bowl, the Challenger Fumes with lots of excellent water slides, and The Rapids. We also enjoyed the Lazy River as it gave us an opportunity to chill out after some hair-raising moments on the big slides.
Splash Island is perfect for younger kids as it has very shallow water and my little sister spent most of her time in there playing around with my 
Auntie who is scared of deep water. There is also a dry ground area for those who hate water. It has all kinds of fun stuff including sand volleyball, pool tables, basketball, and shuffleboard. We didn’t really bother with it, but it looked OK. Other facilities in the park include a gift shop and a surf-side grill where you can buy food and drinks during your time at the park.
Overall I would fully recommend the park as being a fun day out for all the family. It does tend to get pretty packed during the summer, and you might end up queuing for the best rides, but it is still great value for money, especially for kids, so I am going to rate it 4 our of 5 stars.
them last summer. This is a place to relax and forget some of the things that drive our busy lives. The amenities are exceptional and no expense was spared in terms of making my stay a memorable one. The massage therapists might require some seasoning but this is luxury treatment at the top of the range. You should expect to pay a mandatory tip of 18%. Perhaps their client care services might need some revamping. Nevertheless the presentation of the spa has been excellent so far. The deep tissue massage is thorough, if a touch hard.
appointment is kept at all times. The spa is strikingly beautiful. The color-coordinated tiles and plants are a classy touch. You get water and lemon on the side tables. The smell of aromatherapy tells you immediately that you are in for some treat. There are separate locker rooms for men and women. You get access to saunas, restrooms and lockers. I was pleasantly surprised by the fluffy robes that they offered. For just $5.00 I was able to get some delicious and nutritious smoothies. I would strongly recommend this unique spa and give it a 4 out of 5 starts.
ts inception. Having heard a lot about its fame, I made it a point to visit this show on my last trip to Lake of the Ozarks, and I must tell you, it was worth my time and money!
Being a lover of outdoor activities, I decided to visit Ha Ha Tonka Park with my entire family. We were told that this state park was was favored by hikers and when we started out on our hike, we realized why!
Park in summer which is one of the more preferred seasons for hiking, but I heard people conversing that autumn was even better. While the nature and beauty left me asking for more, it is the Devil’s Kitchen that I enjoyed the most. This is a name given to a trail that is flanked on both sides by huge rocks. But, if you are not strong enough, it is not worth a try.

Although the prime ribs could have been better and the wine tasting is not particularly cheap, if you are searching for a romantic venue, the Seven Springs Winery is a lovely place to take your significant other and I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars for the ambiance alone.

area and they all said the restaurant was a really cool place to visit, especially during the summer when you can enjoy a drink and meal while admiring the fantastic view across the lake.
So when we decided to spend a few days visiting friends in the area, I was really excited when I heard we were finally going to get to see what all the fuss was about!
