This is a great place nearby to drop the kayaks and/or tubes in and float right to the front of the lake house. It would probably be a 1-2 hour trip depending on river flow etc.

They have a good variety of entertainment (arcades, bowling, paintball, airsoft, movies) under one roof. The movie theatre has recliners and delicious food. We went for a family night and we very pleased with the quality of food and enjoyed it being brought right to us in our comfy recliners. There is another EVO in New Braunfels, but it isn't as large as the one in Schertz.

It's right downtown, a very short walk from the "Riverwalk". It's free. I'd check ahead of time to see if reservations are needed due to Covid (they didn't need them in the past).
