Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a nice little spot. Staff was not very attentive when the climbers needed assistance. Park doesn’t offer good views but the courses are pretty good.

My kids loved it. We spent here 3 hours and could have stayed longer. My youngest (5y) did the easy trails (purple) and had fun but I can say that even the easy trails can be quite scary for kids his age, so if your kid is not comfortable with heights - maybe you should avoid this place. I recommend waring long pants and short even during a hot summer - to protect your body from rubbing against the trees/equipment. Restrooms are porta potty.

Great ropes courses for a variety of ability levels: we had a blast! But above & beyond the fun, the customer service from the staff made for a very special day. I went with my adventurous 10 year old (off like a shot) & my slightly more careful 8 year old. After starting a course with my 8 y/o, one of the elements was just too scary for her & a staff member came to help her down. They were wonderfully kind & praised her for coming as far as she did. After she came down, the park manager, who'd seen what had happened, did the same & then showed her other courses she might want to try instead. After successfully completing one of those, she had the confidence to try the "scary" course again & it was her favorite of the day. It was such a fun, exciting day, but she also learned a lot about herself & facing fears & honoring her own "I'm not ready for this," too.

Amazing experience. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable- kids had a blast and the learning skills and having to problem solve are an added bonus to the exercise and outdoor time!

This best said with a simple statement, BEST FIELD TRIP EVER! The kids loved the experience. I took another class to an amusement park the week before. The Adventure Park at the Discovery Museum provided so much more. It is nonstop fun! A must do.

We went to Adventure Park as a team building outing for our company. The park is beautiful and very clean. Chris the manager met us upon entry and explained how the afternoon would go with both the rope course and axe throwing. The day went smoothly and the events were fun. The only caveat is one of our employees needed help and even though we were yelling it was hard to get the staffs attention. Once we did get their attention, they quickly assisted our employee with amazing agility. We also had a Food Truck for our group and they had a great place to situate the truck that made access for us easier than if the truck had been located in the parking lot. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you for providing a safe and beautiful venue.

We were so happy with our experience at the adventure park! Our kids ages 7,9,12 had a great time as did my husband and I. Although the park starts at age 5, I think it is a little difficult for kids to understand the cable system who are under 7. Also even if your kids are adventurous as mine were, being short is a disadvantage on the higher level courses so keep that in mind. The courses are all so much fun and so well designed. I suggest starting with a yellow or green and moving up. The staff is wonderful and available to help. They don’t check your time and you can stay longer. We participated for about 5 hours. It was so much fun! Check out this place; You won’t be disappointed!

We had a great tree climbing experience with lots of challenges and zip lines thru out the course; not just the end. Only disappointment we had is that we climbed at the end of the day and didn’t realize the more challenging courses closed earlier than the easier ones although that does make sense. Great day overall!!!
