A playground in the treetops is located next to the popular Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster. The multi-level Wilderness Run Adventure Course features a series of activities designed to safely test your balance and climbing skills plus increase self-reliance – all while safely harnessed. Navigate 28 aerial obstacles during your climbing time – designed for ages 8 to adult. There is also a mini course for the tiniest daredevils!
A registered check-in time is required to explore the Adventure Course. This guarantees you a time to arrive and begin the instructional portion of your visit. Allow 1.5 hours with a full hour of climb time and play. There are routes of varying difficulty. While it’s self-guided, there are trained specialists nearby to assist at any time.
