Where do those ducks take people anyway?  I only see them driving around town.

They go out across the dam and have a driveway near White River Landing which gives them access to the lake.  They tool around out on the lake for a while.  On some excursions they go up to the top of Baird Mountain for the most spectacular view of the area.

There are two tours for the Ducks.  One takes a trip into Lake Taney Como.  Time it right and you can see the fire and light show from the water.

I've been on the other tour which travels up the mountain to a display of some other WW2 vehicles (besides the one you're riding in) and then takes you into Table Rock Lake for some views.

The Ducks are worth checking out.  And you get a free Wacky Quacker!  What more could you ask for?

I also highly recommend riding the Ducks.  It is a lot of fun!

I don't want to steal KBCraig's thunder, but I noticed John Fullerton has some nice photos/memorabilia of Ride the Ducks on his website.  KBCraig posted a link to some of John Fullerton's photos/memorabilia of SDC and SOTH in the SDC Memories/Park History section.  It's really interesting, with photos and brochures dating all the way back to 1971, the first year of Ride the Ducks in Branson.  Notice there's a "Next" button to a second page.  Here's the link:  http://www.johnfullerton.org/RtDpicsPg1.htm

The folks and I are going to ride the ducks for the first time on our next SDC trip. Which tour do you guys suggest?

[sdcforever]

^I suggest the Table Rock Lake tour.  I like that one the best.

I was going to suggest the Landing tour...   But for your first time the Table Rock tour is better.  More history of the actual WWII DUKW.

Thank you Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes.

That's why I picked the Table Rock tour.  For your first time it definitely is better.

Here you go.

^It'd be cool if the vehicles looked like that, but it would definitely decrease tour capacity quite a bit!

[KBCraig]

I just saw their printed catalog, and they have an authentic DUKW, unaltered from original military configuration, in their upcoming (and final) auction.

I wanted to link to that, but they didn't have it on their site.

Both uck rides are good with lots of local information the table rock ride is probably more "fun".  but the landin ducks r very worthwhile also...  they are both more than "rides"... be careful the kids may actually learn something.!

The Landing tour is daily during the summer but is offered only on selected weekends in spring and fall.
