The Gathering is also a vacation for many, and as such we complete the experience with all kinds of fresh activities for you to enjoy!

Helicopter Rides
Have you ever been in a helicopter before? It's an experience unlike any other you've ever had! It's a bit like riding in a roller coaster, but WAY crazier, and with even stronger G-force at points. Straight-up, helicopters are beyond fresh, and how many times do you get a chance to actually go up in one? Unlike most things at the Gathering, this extra flavor isn't free: it will cost you $20 to enjoy a ride, but trust us when we say it is well worth the expense!

Airbrush Facepainters
For those wanting to get their clown love on extra-hard, we've got professional airbrush artists on the grounds ready to paint your face, arms, or whatever you want with your own personalized clown paint! What better way to get into the spirit of the Dark Carnival than sporting some paint?

Inflatables
Back by popular demand we've brought in a multitude of inflatable games and contests for your enjoyment. Punch the shit out of your buddy with oversized Bouncy Boxing gloves, or beat them down with Gladiator Jousting sticks, all with the comfort and safety of a cushion of air to catch you when you fall. Or cool off on the summer day with either a Giant Slip & Slide or the Huge Water Slide. Or if you feel like like a challenge, try out the Obstacle Course. All of these inflatable amusements are 100% safe, so throw yourself into it and have a fun like you were a little kid again!

Love Train
Don�t you just feel sorry for those ninjas still walkin, when you�re ridin high on the Love Train? It�s a chance to get off your feet, get around, or just get down with the sights and sounds all around as you roll through Hachet Landings. Pickup stations are marked on the map. Do not attempt to get on or off the Love Train while it is moving. Do not get in front of the Love Train, or you might get flat.

The Swimming Hole
Right in the middle of Hatchet Landings is a clean, cozy swimming hole for all your heat-beatin, belly-floppin needs! The water is treated to be safe both for swimming and drinking. (We can�t say the same for your fellow Juggalos, though.) There is no lifeguard on duty, so swim at your own risk, and bring a bathing suit!

Spazmatic Hang-Out
The Spazmatic Hangout is your party-within-a party! During the day, it�s like a beverage bar, with Faygo, Spazmatic, and slushies, plus certain special swag to pump your party! (no alcoholic beverages served, but you can bring your own).

Cool-Down Stations
In case you're lookin at the sun, and wondering about keeping cool at the Gathering, there's nothing to fear! (unless you forgot sun-block). There are multiple Cool-Down Stations at several locations throughout the campground, marked on the map. These are no measly mist-tents, these are permanent structures of full on water-spraying flavor, complete with a bank of sprayers, faucets, and their own plumbing. This means more free water and more wet Juggalettes for all of us!

In addition to the flavor we bring with us, Hatchet Landings is one of the freshest locations we've ever seen a Gathering at! In addition to sprawling, scenic wilderness, Cave-In-Rock has a history of violence as long as your tattooed arm! This area has been home to River Pirates, Smugglers, Counterfeiters, Ghosts, and some of the nation's first Serial Killers! Peep that freshness here.
