Play games. Get tokens. Eat pizza. Fall asleep on the ride home.
And if you want something better? You’ll have to spend thousands in Orlando. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was hungry for something new. Something unique.
Enter Hippie Fish.
WTF is Hippie Fish? We had the same thought. But we chose not to explain. Instead, we provoked curiosity with a simple question: “Do You Hippie Fish?” In the weeks before opening, this teaser campaign broke out through social media, addressing the core human need: "I wish there was a place my family hadn’t done 1,000 times before.”
Maybe you’re still thinking: WTF is Hippie Fish? You eventually told everyone, right? Wrong. In fact, the fantasy went even further. A bear riding a Harley? Yeah, that’s Hippie Fish. A carburger driving the coastline? Yeah, that’s Hippie Fish. Because Hippie Fish is more than the sum of its games, golf and grub. It’s the place where fun lives in a better dimension.
Families—and the media—followed the intrigue to discover this one-of-a-kind experience. Opening up a new frontier of entertainment for families across the Gulf South.
