What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Sessions are short and focused: children are fitted into approved gear, briefed, and guided through treetop elements at a scale that suits their size and skill. For those who can reach the designated clip point, the course offers the thrill of independent clipping while adults observe from the ground.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course suits — and who should reconsider.

2
First-Time Little ClimbersA good match for young children who can wear standard safety equipment and, ideally, can reach 53" to clip in independently; those who cannot still participate with ground-based assistance.
3
Guardians & ChaperonesAdults who prefer to supervise from the ground will find this format straightforward—no adult ticket purchase is necessary to accompany a child, but guardians must remain off the course.
4
Not Suitable ForChildren outside the 4–8 age range or whose waist height exceeds 33" are not eligible; participants must also be able to wear the required equipment according to manufacturer guidelines.
