Alamo Pong: Guests will get a chance to partake in a game of ‘Alamo Pong’, participating in some friendly competition in hopes of winning a prize and claiming the Alamo Pong championship. Large-scale 2D cutouts of the King of the Hill’s beloved characters will be stationed throughout the space for special photo opportunities.
Lawn Mower Photo Op: Guests have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to picture themselves in the world of King of the Hill.

You can choose to drink it to quench your thirst or take it home as a souvenir.
