Wonderful experience at Aerial Adventures in this park with my 2 grandchildren aged 10 and 12. Challenging courses but a lot of fun. I did the easier courses but they tried more challenging ones and were super excited and happy.

I had a amazing trip, I went up to catamount mountain with my brother and wife. We drove from the city up to Hillsdale it was about 2.5 hrs drive. Once we got to location we sign in and went straight to class they gave us a saftey brief and training. Everyone was every professional and very helpful with our harness. The view of was amazing. I would recommend to try ziplining, it wasn't scary at all.
