Screens daily

Experience the story of the shipwreck La Belle, a ship in French explorer La Salle's 1684 North American colonial expedition, as seen through the eyes of young Pierre Talon, a real-life passenger on the voyage.

Like most adventures, this one doesn't go as planned, with piracy, murder, mistakes, and unexpected encounters along the way. Discover how this thrilling, dangerous, and moving adventure changed the course of Texas history.

The Texas Spirit Theater offers a multisensory experience and contains sequences of flashing lights that may affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photo sensitivities.

Out of an abundance of caution, some effects that interact with the audience have been made inactive, but there are still plenty of multisensory effects to enjoy.  The Texas Spirit Theater is thoroughly cleaned between each screening. Read our FAQs to learn more.
