High 5 Has Arrived in Lake Travis

ByCathy Hale

The day has finally arrived! Lake Travisites, are you ready?

High 5, the only family entertainment center in the Lake Travis area opens today at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Can we get a community-wide round of applause?

Over the weekend, High 5 hosted soft grand opening events and VIP parties — and we were lucky enough to attend. What a treat!

If you haven’t stepped into a brand spankin’ new arcade before, it’s rather intoxicating. In fact, you may be so enamored with the brightly-colored shiny games that you forget there’s bowling and laser tag. And lots more!

Why you can get excited about High 5

  • Upstairs is an adults only lounge level with bowling, a bar and games
  • The balcony gives you a great vantage point to see what’s happening downstairs
  • Both bars are full bars offering beer, wine, liquor and signature cocktails
  • The menu offers regional and southern favorites along with kid-friendly bites
  • A wonderful “Greetings from Austin” mural downstairs, perfect for photo opps
  • Upstairs & downstairs bowling lanes boast roomy lounge areas and digital technology
  • Bowling balls in a rainbow of color and weights/sizes
  • Brand new bowling shoes that fit well and look pretty darn stylish
  • Large laser tag areas for kids and adults
  • Tons of awesome and unique arcade games for kiddos of all ages
  • Prizes galore, so hopefully your little one will leave with something special
  • Beautiful rooms for private parties

In addition to everything you would expect, the decorative details enhance the experience. From the furniture to the fixtures to the materials, High 5 is definitely catering to the Lake Travis clientele by creating a place for families and friends to relax and have fun together.

High 5 has also taken great care to employ a very enthusiastic and helpful staff. Some of the staff members are younger and this is their first foray into the workplace. The only reason we mention this is because a little bit of extra patience and understanding goes a long way in helping them. Besides, we can all remember our first-ever jobs. Kindness goes a long way!
