The Aloha Event Center at Hawaiian Falls Water and Adventure Park opened Oct. 22, the first such meeting and event space in Pflugerville.

The event center is adjacent to the adventure park and features a ballroom with full-service catering as well as a family arcade and rooms for private parties. It also has a Sharkey's Restaurant and Ice Cream Shoppe.

"Our new event center/adventure park/water park combination has generated a lot of excitement," Hawaiian Falls CEO David Busch said in a statement. "People naturally bond when they are having fun, and the adventure park and event center enables us to provide a venue for family fun year-round."

According to the statement the event center can host corporate events, off-site planning meetings and professional team-building sessions as well as birthday parties and other types of celebrations.
