I had myself an adventure last Sunday at Treetop! One of my friends who is a regular here invited…read moreme and I couldn't wait to get started. They weren't open yet when we arrived, so we waited 15 minutes for them to prep the courses. There are picnic tables and port-a-potties available for use at the entrance. One of the employees got us all checked in and provided gloves, which were free since the tickets were purchased via Groupon. You can choose from small, medium, large or extra large sizes. We stood on the deck and got our harnesses on and tightened by an employee. He went over some safety rules and we completed a trial course to ensure we understood the procedures for zip lining. Once he cleared us, we were free to navigate the park on our own! We started with course 2, then we moved on to course 4. After that we completed course 3 and finally course 1. Some of the courses were challenging but all of them were equally fun. It was a gloomy day so it wasn't busy and we felt like we could take our time completing each obstacle. The zip lining was especially thrilling and the harness is comfortable enough where you don't feel any pressure in your thighs. Treetop Quest was a blast and I hope to be back in the summer months!

I'm so happy I had the chance to finally go to Treetop Quest. This has been in the making for 2…read moreyears and we couldn't have picked a better day. We came as a group of adults and one child. We had pre-booked online and confirmed our reservations. Unfortunately my little one missed the cutoff to climb even on the chick pea course by a couple months. So we then still purchased the kids course gloves and took turns being a cheerleader with her. We also purchased gloves for ourselves which I highly recommend. We are then weighed in to make sure we are below the maximum required 250lbs weight. Then proceeded to harness fitting and course training area. Then we headed to the course 2A which was not for the faint of heart as we assumed it would be...hahaha. I witnessed a few rescues before actually going but I tried not to make that discourage me from partaking! It wasn't a hot day but found that I did sweat a lot due to the activity of course. The courses are level 1 (beginners), level 2 (moderate but with obstacles through the course and some zip lines), level 3 (mostly zip lines), 4 (most challenging course). We walked away feeling accomplished and proud of ourselves with the motto "I can do hard things"!

He was excited to get up for camp each morning as opposed to other summer day camps we've tried over the years. We enrolled him in the Video Game Design Camp and he had a great time and even asked that we sign him up for another week this summer. The camp is a little pricey so unfortunately we are not able to do that but will certainly be signing him up for another week next year!

Prices for public skating are ridiculous. It's $16 a person. There is no kids price. The ice is unacceptable. There is a noticeable groove all the way around the boards and a good 3 inch dip where the Zamboni comes out. It's very dangerous, but they don't seem to care. Speaking of dangerous, they don't appear to employ a single skate guard for supervision. I've seen people do ludicrously unsafe things here. Parents, there may be no one at the Skate Zone to tell you this, so I'm telling you now: Don't skate around with your kids on your shoulders! The only plus is that the individual employees I've dealt with have all been very nice. I don't think they're any happier being employed by Black Bear than I am paying Black Bear.

You feel like you are in the middle of the woods, if not for the fact that it is part of a school. The construction materials and ground covering are brown and the theme is fun throughout. There is everything from monkey bars to swings, to rope challenges, to huge climbing structures. We spent only about 30 minutes here and the kids did not want to leave. Everything is in good condition and the crowd here was engaged with their kids and friendly. Such a gem in the middle of Chestnut Hill.

It is a fairly large, mostly wooden playground. The thing I like about it is that there are usually lots of local kids there with their parents, so your kids will usually have someone to play with, and there are lots of parents present to head off any trouble. You might think that it would be hard to park in this popular area of town, but it usually isn't too much of a problem.
