    Take my 5 stars!…read more Very first time coming here. I had been wanting to bring my 3 kids here for a long time. So we finally went yesterday. Our visit was during their Glow in the Park event. It delivered beyond what I could have imagined. We purchased tickets and completed waivers online. So when we got there we parked and walked right in to the store/registration area. The rep at the counter was super nice and helpful. I was the only one who didn't do a waiver online so I had to do it on the computer when I got there. Don't worry, super simple and quick. If you didn't bring gloves, you can purchase some here. We didn't bring or buy gloves and our hands weren't too rough at the end of the night. After checking in, we were directed to the pre-climb meeting area. Here we watched a short video which was very informative and we're instructed on how to put on our climbing rigs and how to operate the equipment when climbing. One of the amazing parts about this is that they made the instructions very simple and easy to understand. Plus, after they show you how to use the equipment and put on the climbing rig, they take you to a small practice area where you get to tryout the operations you'll be doing once you're up in the trees. There's so much more I can say but don't want to be too long winded! After directions, instructions, and practice, you're ready to climb! So you head on over to the central platform! This is where every climb begins (the engineering and design of this park is remarkable). There are varying levels of difficulty for the climbs ranging from purple (young kids mainly) all the way up to double black diamond. Because we had children with us, we weren't able to go past blue difficult (even though blue had some questionable and pretty difficult obstacles lol). Not only were the climbs long in duration (some up to an hour long) but they included amazing obstacles and zip lines! The children absolutely loved it. I believe, I think, we were only supposed to be climbing for an hour but somehow we ended up climbing for 3! Not sure if this was because the park wasn't that busy or what, but thank you!!! One of the things I loved about this place is that the employees didn't smother you with over-supervision or excessive rules. They taught you what you needed to know and let you go! Love that and thank you! If you're looking for a place to get your kids outside, get them some exercise, build character through navigating obstacles, overcoming fear and challenges, fun lights in the trees at dark!, this is the place! We're definitely considering the season pass! Sorry, no pics because it wasn't a great place to have a phone on you.

    I love this place. The staff is so friendly and so helpful. I need a lot of help. Idk why. I just…read moredo. They're always there to help me and guide me. They also have great recommendations for which course to do next. I did have to use one of the emergency exits in one of the courses and they didn't make me feel like a failure. They validated that it was an actual hard course and I made the right choice. I just love coming here.

    My husband and I attended our first Color Me Rad 5k with our friend Mary and loved it! You can walk…read moreor run it's up to you. We saw people there with baby strollers doing the event. It's one big colorful party! You go on the course and there are different color stations where people are either throwing color, spraying you with color in water guns, and at one station a girl was color drenched hugging everyone. At the end of the course it's one huge after party! They'll have contests, they'll throw color packets at you to throw on your friends, and tons of music to dance your heart out. We ended up with color in my mouth, and up my nose. We got there 20 minutes before our 10 heat, but we went ahead with everyone else. The event seemed a bit disorganized. When we got to where the crowd was nobody could tell us where we were supposed to go for the main event and it was the first time my husband and I participated. During the race they ran out of water bottles on the course and the course was scattered with plastic bottles. It was a bit disappointing considering the price that we paid for our tickets, but we took it in stride. If you want water along the course please being your own just to be safe. During the after party they were dumping gel buckets on people and we wanted to participate. We stood in line for awhile, but nobody told people that we needed tickets for it. At the after party they gave us a granola bar and bottled water. It was a lot of fun with people throwing color packets everywhere, loud music, contests, and dancing. I'd love to attend an event again, but at the moment I'm unsure.

    No updates on the event. No updates on the refund. Seems like a big money minting business for the…read moreorganizers. Won't recommend getting tickets here even in post covid world if the organizers have such values.

The different obstacles were so much fun. The course was easy to hook into and the employees were very helpful. There's a small training course in the beginning that they take you through where you learn the equipment and how the course works. I definitely can't wait to come back.

    It was so much fun THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T LIKE is that…read morethey put us in a group without you knowing it. ( for a first timer) And once you started a course you couldn't stop for any reason. If you are too scared to go down the zip line you have to back through the course if there's ppl behind you they also have to go back. If you bring kids you have to do the course and zip line or the kids can't. But only one person at a time can go so does it really matter... my son (13 yrs old) had ran ahead and completed to courses before I even did one. They made him stop to wait for me. I appreciated that. But mid way I wanted to back out of the zip line they told me my son wouldn't be able to continue the courses if I did. Some of the staff were annoyed with basic questions like do you have a "trash can "or "do you have smaller gloves" (that are mandatory to wear) but the girl we had was amazing. She was great my son's leg had gotten stuck in a ring on one of the courses she climbed up stupid fast like a spider monkey to help him. But over all it was great and so much fun. It was a complete work out down the muscles in my fingers that I didn't even know we had. I also recommend getting the cell phone holder thing and the fingerless gloves
