If your family is active, you cannot beat this. If you've ever wanted to climb in the trees, love zip lines, or admit that you're desended from monkeys, come here! The staff is extremely helpful and encouraging and they want you to have a good time. Having worked at a smaller rope course, I knew what to expect, but was... More

Gift giving can sometimes be tedious. This past Mother's Day I decided to give mom a gift she would never forget, an adventure in the treetops! Our 10 year old son accompanied us. If you go, and if you ever enjoyed climbing trees at any time, you should go, and remember these tips: • Go early! It gets crowded. •... More

Set amidst towering trees, this aerial obstacle course is fun for the entire family! With 10 different courses to choose from, there is virtually something for everyone. You will want to make sure that you're up to at least a little challenge though. The various courses involve alot of ladder climbing to some type of challenge such as moving boards... More

The Park is located in a well-kept wooded area, with trails on the ground for those too timid to be up in the trees! Be sure to bring a camera if you're one who stays on the ground. They have a wide range of courses, from the easiest ones, which this 50-something year old with bad knees was able to... More

We went with my husband and two sons, 9 and 11. The 9 yr old does have a fear of heights and opted not to participate. We went on a weekday in summer, but it still took about an hour to actually start. They group you and then give instructions, so you may have to wait for about 20 people... More

We went with 2 adults and a 13 and 10 y/o boy. We all had a great time! It wasn't too crowded so we waited very little, but I can imagine you'd do more waiting than climbing on a busy day. The gloves they give you are essential, but large for kids. Might be worth investing in your own if... More

My husband and I decided to go and what a fun time we had. When you arrive, they outfit you with the harness and a pair of gloves. Do yourself a HUGE favor and leave your keys in the office with the harnesses and check out. You don't need them impeding you on a rope bridge or net bridge and,... More

Had a great time. Had a bit of a bottle neck and wait at the beginning. It took about 35 minutes between getting checked in, getting our equipment and then getting a quick training session. I recommend getting there early when it first opens to maximize your time and to get in before it gets too crowded. Also check the... More

Our family's been there a few times now- two adults and three kids, ranging from 9-15. We've gone with friends each time. Everyone leaves feeling exhilarated! The younger kids are thrilled by the zip lines (well... who isn't?!) and the teens and young adults have enjoyed the challenge and workout. The harness system is very safe, relieving the fears of...
