Questions / RSVP: igorbass@dynamicoutdoors.com
I had a fantastic time on the high ropes. Alex did a great job as group leader.
I don't know if it was deliberate, but after I asked him which course to try next, he said "Come up top and I'll explain."
Once I got up to the top, he encouraged me to go for the blue. Since I
was too lazy to climb back down to the other green course, I went for
blue. By day's end I felt proud of myself not only for completing the
courses, but for overcoming my fears. Maybe next time I'll go for
black! Maybe. :)
Thanks for finding this place!

What is an Adventure Park?
An aerial forest rope course consisting of platforms that have been installed in the trees with ropes and cables connecting them to form "bridges" or "canopy tours". The objective is to move from tree platform to tree platform walking over the different secured bridges to complete the ropes course. There are some small scale zip lines throughout the eight different courses. Each ropes course will have a different degree of difficulty. There are no motorized rides in the park. Our park is all about active participation. While on the courses you are fully secured by your harness at all times, it is all about thrills, chills, but no spills.
Do I have to be really fit to do the course?
Most people that lead an active lifestyle and are in good health should not have any difficulty in completing many of the ropes courses. You are able to proceed at a pace that is comfortable to you, and you can exit the course at many locations. You are also welcome to leave the ropes course and take a break. Unlike the yellow and green courses, the black courses are very challenging.
How difficult are the ropes courses?
The ropes courses range from beginner to physically challenging.
Is the Adventure Park certified?
The park will be inspected and licensed by the Department of Public Safety. It has been designed by Swiss experts and constructed by professionals.
What food services are available? Will there be a bar?
The Lodge cafeteria will be open Wednesday thru Sunday and holiday Mondays from 10am-5pm for beverages, snacks, sandwiches, salads and grilled foods. Hours of the Tavern will be 11am-5pm on the same days. Alcohol will not be sold to park users prior to the expiration time noted on their park ticket unless their ticket has been relinquished for the day. Sodas, snacks and ice cream will be available every day thru vending machines.
Are we allowed to bring our own food?
The Lodge will be serving food in the cafeteria. You are welcome to bring your own coolers and non-alcoholic beverages. No glass bottles please.
What clothing should I wear?
Well fitting clothing that does not allow anything to hang and get tangled in cables and rope. Long hair and jewelry should not be left loose. Sneakers or hiking boots are recommended.
Can the rope courses operate in the rain?
The adventure park can actually be a lot of fun when it's raining, however we will need to close for thunderstorms. Call ahead to confirm the operating schedule when rain/thunderstorms are in the forecast.
What equipment is provided?
A harness and gloves are provided with your admission ticket. New gloves are also available for purchase.

Hey Igor,
The trip was so much fun. I wish I had more time on the courses. Loved

Julie
It was a blast and I will hope to do it again before the end of the
summer and/or definitely next year to get the rest of the courses I
didn't get to. Wish we had another hour there to eat and get back on
the course but that's all. Great trip.
