    The ropes course
    Ashleigh F.

    This park offers a variety of activities such as a ropes course, zip-lining and ax throwing. Prior to arriving we were able to fill out our liability forms online. The check in process and orientation for the ropes course was organized. We were walked through the process of putting on the equipment properly for safety. The staff working with us were very helpful and nice. They assisted us throughout the course without hesitation. The ropes course was challenging and fun.

    High flying ropes corse!

    So the girls did the ropes course and has a great time! Us adults hit up the axe throwing ... we made Reservations and changed them a few times due to the weather. Every Interaction with staff was awesome! They were all engaging, helpful and fun! Gold star to Hannah our axpwt

    Kids (11 and 15) had a blast!!! We started with the basic level and they were ready to upgrade within the first 30 minutes. They continued to climb and have fun until their time was up. We will add this to our must do list. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. Spouse also did the axe toss. He had a blast too!

    We visited the park with our grown son, who has autism. He panicked after the first station and the guide patiently helped him off. Then on his own, he decided he wanted to conquer his fear and this amazing woman gently eased him through the entire first level. What a boost this was to his self esteem.

    This was an absolute amazing experience and my 6 y.o. daughter loved it as well. The staff were super friendly and patient. Zoey the manager was very accommodating. We will absolutely be returning next time we go to Corolla, NC.

    Where Ninja Warriors spend their vacation. An incredible experience for our family thanks to the pleasant employees and the well maintained ropes course. The vigorous activity brought together our variety of ages, creating a positive memory for our vacation. The allotted time is the perfect amount to accomplish, or zip line out of, every set of obstacles. With the provided gloves and the option to hold the tether and zip line to the next platform, you can enjoy your day with peace of mind. The admirable customer service includes incredible camera quality for the few photo ops on the course, water fountains you can access throughout the adventure, ice cold hand towels at the end of your visit, and of course the awesome guides cheering you on!

    Ask the Community - Corolla Adventure Park

    Is it possible to do the ropes without having to go across any zip lines? My 9 year old loves climbing around but refuses to do a zip line after an accident on a backyard zip line (despite our explanation of how different this would be).

    Hey Brittany - Thanks for reaching out and that is a great question! The answer is YES! :). All of the zip lines on our course are an optional fork in the trail and there is no point where you are required to do one.

Front desk staff is less to be desired, not friendly at all. I felt like I was an inconvenience to their flow. I have been to at least 5 climbing gyms in a different state but this place probably has the worst customer service in my opinion. Climbing gyms that I've been to usually have a fun vibe, friendly atmosphere. I did use Groupon for this one( so glad I did!!!) not sure if it had something to do with that, I sure hope not.

The staff here are truly amazing--so patient and kind with the kids, many of whom are going through really tough times. They make sure everyone feels comfortable, from helping with harnesses to cheering them on as they climb. It's clear they genuinely care, and they work seamlessly with our group to create a welcoming and supportive environment. You can tell they go the extra mile to make the experience special for the kids. The gym itself is super clean, and the climbing routes offer something for all skill levels. I've recommended it to friends and honestly can't wait to come back on my own time to try climbing myself. Whether you're a seasoned climber or a beginner, this place has a great vibe. Big thanks to the staff for all they do. you guys rock (pun intended)!

It is currently 11:20am and no one is answering the phone. The line is about 30 PO'd people making alternate plans now and still no signs of life other than the first sighting of an employee. Would not suggest counting on this place to plan family entertainment as they seem to struggle with reading a clock or answering a phone. Oh wait... employees are carrying out box but won't answer the simple question of when they will open. It's 11:30 am. But wait, there's more..... So, about 5 minutes after a group of about 15 left and we were on our way back to the car, they opened the doors. I grabbed a few shots of the broken down machines but more importantly let me explain a critical piece of how this place works. We selected the option of buying 200 tokens for $50.00. Our 2 15 yr olds blew through them in about 45 minutes and that's being generous. Why? Because many of the games took 7, 12, and 20 tokens to play a single game! Another point to raise is that they never opened the laser tag game while we were there. This place was a great disappointment and if you wonder why their Google reviews are so high, they give you $5.00 off for a good review.

I am far from a serious weightlifter, but wanted to keep up with my training during our two week stay in Nags Head. First big pro was that I could sign up for my two-week membership online before I arrived, and my first visit took less than 5 minutes to get my key tag and finalize my membership. Membership includes towel service which, especially for those on vacation like me, is a big plus. Additionally, the locker rooms provide (non-locking, open) cubbies, toilets, a sauna, and three showers. During each of my 7 visits, I found the locker rooms to be clean and never without a clean towel. The gym itself has just about every piece of equipment you could want, and I never found myself having to wait too long for equipment, benches, or squat racks. Some equipment is a little more well-loved than others, but there are also some brand-spanking new pieces of equipment, so the owners are clearly putting money back into new equipment. And the more well-loved pieces are still functional, just with some wear and slightly uneven resistance at times. But by far the most impressive thing was the gym culture. Had a chance to chat with a few regulars, and each was awesome and supportive. A guy I'd never met before and who clearly spends a lot of time in the gym came over and gave me a fist bump and encouraging word after pushing through the last few reps of a tough set. It's hard to put a price on that kind of culture. Overall, well worth the price for me. I'll for sure be back next year!

    Virginia Beach Adventure Park gave us one of those summers that actually felt like a summer…read more My son and I did the summer pass for a month, and as a local, I really appreciated having something this active, outdoorsy, and genuinely fun right in our backyard. We spent what felt like half the summer up in the trees, conquering trails, zip lines, and whatever questionable life choices led me to believe I was ready for the "longest" course. Spoiler: it is absolutely the longest. By the end of that one, I had given the trees everything I had. We tackled almost every course we were eligible for, and even my husband joined us one day, which was very much outside his comfort zone. That alone deserves recognition. Every visit ended the same way: sweaty, exhausted, full of adrenaline, and smiling like we had just accomplished something ridiculous and wonderful. And honestly, we did. By the end of the summer, both my son and I had noticeably better core and upper-body strength. Those ropes and platforms will humble you very quickly. I don't really have a favorite course because each one had its own personality, but some definitely felt like they were designed by someone who enjoys watching people question their decisions halfway through. In the best way, of course. One thing I do wish were a little clearer is the parking situation. The recommended parking is over by one of the aquarium buildings, and then you walk over to the Adventure Park area. I understand that there are contractual reasons for this, but as a local, it felt a little unnecessarily complicated. I used the HONK app and applied for the $50 local parking voucher, which ended up covering my summer visits, so that was a big win. Also worth knowing: if you park in the suggested aquarium lot and stay later, that building closes around 4:30. Depending on timing, you may end up having to take the longer route back around via the bike path to get to your car. I may or may not have chosen my own parking strategy from time to time. What can I say? I believe in adventure before I even reach the ropes. There's a Dunkin' nearby, which became very important to me after several of these outings because once you've spent hours suspended in trees, coffee becomes less of a beverage and more of a recovery plan. There are also food options available at the aquarium if you want to stay on site. What I'll remember most, though, is getting to spend that time with my son. We laughed, struggled, climbed, zipped, sweated, and got stronger together. There's something really special about watching your kid work through a difficult obstacle 20 feet in the air and then seeing that proud little grin when they make it across. We came for the zip lines and ended up leaving with a summer full of confidence, strength, and some really great memories. For locals especially, the summer pass is absolutely worth considering. We ended the summer with the black diamond course, and it was not as nearly hard as waterfall!
