Super exciting adventure. We did the entire zip line adventure. Very safe if you follow all rules. Lots of height and danger to thrive on. Small platforms to stand on while up 60', love it : )

Certainly gets the blood pumping and is a great challenge. If I were to say anything negative it would be the idiots who attempt this after drinking.

For the birthday parties we stuck to the "Childs" (it is just the lowest to the ground) TreeGO course, which consists of many... More
