The Story Behind the Tiki

Tiki Resort was dreamed up by legendary entrepreneur Charles R. Wood, the visionary behind Storytown USA (now Great Escape). Long before themed resorts were a trend, Wood brought his own version of Polynesian paradise to Lake George. Opened in the early 1960s, The Tiki stood out with its island-inspired architecture, tropical gardens, and nightly luau shows, making it one of the first and last of its kind. Today, it remains a beloved throwback to the golden age of travel, where tiki gods reign, fire dancers perform, and the spirit of fun never fades.
