Spooktacular Party Spaces
Forbidden Forest
Step into the Forbidden Forest where you may see Bigfoot, lifelike tiki poles, and shadowy creatures lurking just beyond your sight. As you wander through the darkness, rustling leaves, distant growls, and strange whispers surround you, making every step feel like something is watching from the trees.
BOO-GIE Barge Rides
Every Friday and Saturday Night, the BOO-GIE Barge takes you on a one-hour plunge into the dark depths of Lake Travis. As you glide across the water, you’ll hear chilling tales of lost souls, eerie disappearances, and ghostly sightings that still haunt the lake today. Seats Are Limited - Get Your Tickets
The Kraken is the long-sunken ship that now stirs beneath the waves of Lake Travis, haunted by its restless captain and the strange creatures that claimed it. Guests swear they hear creaking boards, ghostly footsteps, and the whisper of tentacles brushing the hull from deep below.
