01 · Best full-day combo
Zipline Tour/Aerial Obstacle Course COMBO — six hours of canopy and challenge
This six‑hour combo blends Tree to Tree’s Zipline Canopy Tour with the park’s Aerial Obstacle Course, delivering varied exposure to both high‑speed zips and technical tree‑top elements. The operator frames the package as a single, full‑day outing: expect a mix of guided zipline segments and timed sessions on the aerial obstacles. The experience is offered rain or shine and includes safety briefings and harnessing across both activities.
Practical notes are operator‑driven: participants must meet the requirements for each activity, including weight and harness fit checks. The listing emphasizes arriving at least 15 minutes early and that the course is physical; bring close‑toed shoes, tie back long hair and be prepared to hydrate. For travelers seeking an immersive active day out of Tigard, this combo is the most comprehensive single‑ticket option.

Zipline Canopy Triple Play — short, high-energy mix
The Zipline Canopy Triple Play delivers a fast, action‑packed outing: a guided zipline tour plus your choice of two park mini‑adventures such as racing zip lines, a ninja course, Tree Top Plunge or the Monkey Grove. Its advertised duration is two-plus hours, making it a strong option for travelers who want concentrated adrenaline without committing to a full day.
Safety parameters and operational details follow the operator’s rules: guests must weigh between 60 and 250 pounds for the zipline, and check‑in instructions note that if a desired time is not visible when booking, the office can be called directly. The Triple Play is ideal for couples or small groups who want variety and a brisk pace while staying within the park’s structured safety checks.

Zipline Canopy Tour — long zips and lake views
The Zipline Canopy Tour is the minimalist, scenery‑forward option: around two hours of guided zips that sweep above forests and toward Hagg Lake. Notable operator details include a signature zip that spans approximately 1,280 feet and the park’s emphasis on engineered safety and well‑trained staff who fit each participant into harnesses and manage progressive departures from the tower.
Operational restrictions are explicit: guests must weigh between 75 and 250 pounds; there is no age limit but safety measurements are enforced at check‑in. The park states it is open seasonally and positions itself as roughly an hour by car from nearby regional centers. For travelers who prize speed, long lines, and clear vantage points, this tour is the single best pick for scenic zipline velocity.

Aerial Obstacle Course Triple Play — extended course time with add-ons
This package centers on the Aerial Obstacle Course and tacks on two additional attractions — an appealing structure for groups that want more time in the trees plus the variety of racing zips or ninja elements. The operator lists an expected duration of three to four hours and enforces age and fit restrictions: participants should be 10 or older and must fit within the harness limits the park specifies.
Because the course is self‑progressed under supervision, families and groups can move at their own pace; younger children and those new to heights start on easier, lower sections before advancing. The Triple Play is a sensible pick when you want the aerial course to be the centerpiece of a half‑day outing but also want the option of sampling the park’s other engineered thrills.

Aerial Obstacle Course — six tree‑top courses and self‑paced progression
The Aerial Obstacle Course is the park’s signature self‑guided network of six courses set high in the trees, with more than 60 obstacles including Tarzan swings, balance beams, ladders and tight ropes. The listing highlights that children aged 7–9 can access the first four courses while those 10 and up may progress through all six, and that zip lines become accessible as you reach certain sections of the courses.
Practical considerations include a 300‑pound weight limit, maximum harness circumference requirements, and the operator’s note to arrive early. This experience suits travelers who want to pace their challenge, focus on technical elements rather than long zips, and enjoy a forested, self‑directed adventure that scales with confidence and ability.

Extreme Velocity Outdoor Airsoft — woodland skirmishes in The Lost Forest
Extreme Velocity Outdoor Airsoft stages fast‑paced airsoft and paintball sessions in a forested field known as The Lost Forest. The operator’s structured two‑hour sessions are designed for groups from solo players up to about 20 participants and the field places emphasis on varied terrain, bunkers and strategic cover for immersive team play.
The supplier notes minimum age and cancellation policies; for example, sessions operate on a schedule with specific weekend time blocks. This option is distinct from the canopy offerings: if your group wants competitive, tactical action rather than harnessed aerial challenge, the airsoft field is the regional go‑to for woodland combat simulation.
