Think you can make it across without falling in? Probably not, and that’s exactly why an obstacle course water park is so much fun. At Stoke Factory in New Braunfels, Texas, a giant floating course of inflatable challenges is waiting to test your balance, your grip, and your sense of humor.

Run, climb, leap, and wipe out, then haul yourself up and try to beat your last run.

What Is the Obstacle Course?

Our floating obstacle course is a connected lineup of inflatable challenges anchored on the lake. Picture balance beams, monkey bars, slippery climbing walls, trampolines, slides, and springy launch pads, all strung together into one big arena.

Each obstacle is its own mini-challenge. String them together and you’ve got a course that’s equal parts workout, playground, and comedy show (because someone always wipes out spectacularly).

Why People Love the Course

• It’s a real challenge. Conquering a tricky obstacle feels genuinely satisfying.
• It’s nonstop motion. No standing around, just go, go, go.
• It cools you off. Every fall ends in a refreshing splash.
• It’s hilarious. The wipeouts are as fun to watch as they are to attempt.
