High Ropes Grand Opening!

Sunday October 30th 2022 | 10:00am - 2:00pm

 Tackle our high ropes course, zipline, climbing tower, or all three!

High Ropes

For the first time, we are opening our new high ropes course to the public! With 14 different obstacles spread across 2 levels, this course has something for everyone, whether that means starting on the lower 15 foot level or jumping straight to the challenging 25 foot top level!

High Ropes participants must be at least 48 inches tall (or 42 inches with an adult in the course), less than 300 pounds, and properly fit into the gear.

Zipline & Climbing Tower

While you're here, revisit two of our favorites! Test your rock-climbing skills on our 60-foot climbing tower, then soar down our 500-foot zipline over a pond. 

Zipline and Climbing Tower participants must be at least 5 years of age and 50 to 250 pounds.

Pre-Registration is Required!

 

High Ropes Only is a 30 minute experience, which includes 15-20 minutes in the actual course. Participants must register for a timeslot in advance. Orientation for the course begins on the half-hour, and guests who are late to their timeslot may not be able to go up. To register, please select your preferred timeslot below. ($30 for members, $35 for non-members)

 Zip & Tower Only includes 1 ride down our zipline and 1 quality attempt on our climbing wall. Participants may tackle these anytime between 10:00am and 2:00pm. To register for only the zipline and climbing tower, select the "Zip & Tower Registration" Link. ($18 for members, $20 for non-members)

 High Ropes, Zip, & Tower Combo includes all three of these experiences! To register, first select your preferred timeslot. Then, under the "Fee" option, select the appropriate combo option. ($40 for members, $45 for non-members)
