Time Dependent on Tier
Choose Your Level
Suitable for Ages 7+ (Mini-Monkey Course Also Available)
Come and join us for an awesome obstacle adventure park course up in the air! The aerial adventure park has three individual tiers, which vary in difficulty levels making it the perfect activity for families or groups of friends. Whether you’re looking to enjoy the views and take it easy on the lowest level or feeling ready to challenge yourself on the higher levels, we’ve got you covered! Each level has two courses, so whichever level you choose, you’ll take on fun challenges as you make your way around the courses at our adventure park and ropes course.
Price
Tier 1 only: $65.95 per person
Tier 2 (includes level 1): $76.95 per person
Tier 3 (includes levels 1 &2 and zipline): $94.95 per person
Which tier is right for me?
We recommend that you or your group only book tier 1 to begin (must be 7+ years old, 50-250 lbs. and reach 70”. Ages 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult.). If your group decides to advance to the other tiers (must be 12+ years old, 50-250 lbs., and reach 70”), your group will then be able to pay the difference upon completing the course. We also recommend waiting to add on our ziplines; they are a $15 add-on to tiers 1 and 2, but they are included with tier 3.
*You must complete the lower level before advancing to the upper levels*
*We have a very strict no-refund policy. If you book for tier 3, for example, but do not make it up there for any reason, we cannot refund that price*
