A Floating Adventure Water Park Opens On Lake Travis

Written by |

Get ready to go big and get wet, Lake Travis. There’s a new floating aqua park headed your way, and it looks incredible. Go ahead and add it to your 30 Fun Things To Do This Summer list.

The eastern shores of Lake Travis are prepping to add yet another outdoor activity option in the form of a beautiful water park playground called Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures. It’s the brainchild of the owners of Lake Travis Zipline Adventures, Brian George, and John Shipley.

If you’ve ever been to Tulum, this new aqua park is reminiscent of parts of Xel-Ha Park minus the copious amounts of tropical fish. Or, Jurassic World-ish minus the dinosaurs. In other words, based on the natural surrounding and hillside views, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into an exotic location far from the hustle and bustle on 620.

The beautiful new building located at 3944 S. Ranch Road 620 houses four businesses dedicated to health and wellness under the Alive + Well umbrella. You could say they are, in fact, alive and well in Lake Travis: Alive + Well, Elle’s Cafe & Coffee, Hill Country Apothecary, and Drip Drop IV Vitamin Bar.

Yoga, infrared sauna therapy, a Glutathione IV drip or avocado toast. Let’s take a look at the fab four who are all about your well-being, and conveniently located under one roof.

Plus, expanded hike and bike trails are on the way, which means more feet and fewer vehicles.
