Cheese-y Boat Cruise on Lady Bird Lake
- TIMING: Total event time is 2 hours. Please arrive 15 min prior to the event start to check in and for a quick boat loading. Note, the boat takes off at event start time, and we cannot hold up the entire event for late guests. Please plan accordingly.
- LOCATION: We partner with Capital Cruises, located at 208 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78704 (located at the Hyatt Regency Austin docks on Lady Bird Lake).
- PARKING:The Hyatt Regency’s multi-level garage is the closest and easiest place to park. Parking starts at $25.00 for up to three hours (subject to additional charges past that time) but may vary depending on days of the week with higher traffic or during special events. Guests may drop off passengers at the front door of the hotel, but parking there is limited to five minutes. Other parking in the area varies greatly in price and availability. All parking is run independently of Capital Cruises and Antonelli’s Cheese. Please plan accordingly (ride share or designated driver), if you intend to enjoy the complimentary wine pairings. See parking map here.
