Summary: I had a great time! I did the ropes course and it was very much a 'choose your own adventure' type of experience. The staff did a great job explaining everything and making sure we understood how everything worked. I felt perfectly safe the entire time due to the safety harness and secure wiring we were attached to. The location is a bit hard to find, Google maps was absolutely useless, but we called the staff and they were able to give us directions and another maps app that could get us to the site perfectly fine. There was a small amount of people at a time and I almost never had to wait my turn on a platform, it was a great experience.

Summary: PROS: • Easy check-in (based on waiver being signed ahead of time), • Clean facilities, • Nice, clean and reliable equipment, • Amy was the BEST guide - friendly, helpful and so supportive, • Fun for kids and adults, and • Able to climb and move at your own pace - plenty of space and routes. CONS (extremely minor): • Google Maps can only get you there with a walking route - use Apple Maps. • Check-in time on the website vs. email was 10 mins different (20 vs. 30 mins.), however, I’m glad we aimed for 30 minutes. • Height requirement is a bit confusing as the website vs. email confirmation explained it a bit differently. We purchased an additional ticket as we thought our girls would be too short for the course, based on the 5’ minimum height language so an adult was needed. Neither of us like heights so that was a bit stressful. HOWEVER, both girls could move around without assistance once they got the hang of the clip system so I really didn’t “need” to climb and help. The kicker: I AM SO GLAD I DID CLIMB WITH THEM! As someone who is hit or miss with heights, especially in this capacity. I am so happy I went out of my comfort zone and had a great support system. It’ll be a core memory for all of us!
