We drove past this place a few times, and when I asked my 7-year old daughter what she wanted to do today, she emphatically said, "the zipline park!" The 'obstacles' are almost exclusively balance-based, and deceptively difficult. I actually found some of the 'green' (beginner) routes more challenging than the one 'black' (advanced) route we tried, though by no means was that route easy! The main takeaway was that the staff were friendly, receptive and professional. As someone who owns an outdoor adventure company myself (whitewater rafting outfitter) and having worked in the industry for 30 years, I have a critical eye towards other businesses in the outdoor adventure industry. I would wholeheartedly recommend this operation, as long as you don't have a fear of heights. ;). Thanks to Tim and the rest of the staff for making the day so special. read more

Given the large group sizes, the last members to clip in after training lose up to 15 minutes while waiting on other participants getting onto the platforms ahead of them. The environment would also benefit from providing more observation seating and from mounting tarps above the course to provide shade. The obstacles themselves were mostly engaging and varied. read more

Professional and safety driven operation - Tim, Cindy, and Nicole were all awesome! My daughter (8) and I had an fantastic experience clearing the obstacles, there's plenty of variation and skill levels for all to enjoy. I liked that you can navigate the course as you wish, as there's no set path, and taking a bathroom or water break is easy. Staff are very friendly, encouraging, and obviously having fun themselves. Bravo! read more

I bought a Groupon for the family so that my boys (3 sons and a boyfriend) can go play. My oldest son's girlfriend joined us too. When we first drove up, the park looked compact and I was wondering how crowded it would be and if we would be entertained for an hour. Don't let the compact size of the park sway your thinking on adventure because you will definitely have fun and be entertained for over an hour. After checking in and signing waivers, they get you all settled into your harnesses which go over your shoulders, cinch at your waist, and go around each thigh. Once you get all in, you feel super secure. They went on to teach us how to wear our helmets properly and demonstrated how to clip onto the line and how to recover if you lose your footing before you even go up the ladder. There are 2 levels of obstacles and a multitude of obstacles. We had such a good time and you work your core to keep balanced on the obstacles. And because they weren't busy for the next session after us, they offered us to stay longer than our session. Our middle son played for 2 hours before we recalled him lol read more

Great place to take the kids for an adrenaline rush and to wear them out, lol! Not the prettiest attraction, but maybe one of the most fun. My husband and I also had quite a bit of fun. Great staff! Very safe! read more

Super fun course, great staff! Cute little zip line for those not adventurous enough to try the course.

Oh my gosh this place is SO FUN!!! This ended up being my 10 yo sons favorite activity on our Estes Park vacation. I went through the course with him and was quite nervous going across the first obstacle but after a couple of them started getting a feel for it and had an absolute blast! We can't wait to visit again! read more

This a must stop if you have children that love to climb! My son was in heaven and my daughter overcame her fear of heights! They asked, no, begged to come back here a second time. The guides are kid friendly and very capable! So glad we did this, a definite highlight for any vacation! read more

Open Air Adventure Park - Saw this from the free bus around town, bus stop right across street, happy kids! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Estes Park, Colorado

Great and challenging place to test what you are made of. Will you face your fears or go cowering in the corner like a little child? This 3D obstacle course is made of 2 tiers of a combination of easy, which was marked in green to medium, blue, to hard, which was marked in black. The course includes simple tightrope walking to very hard leaping from platform to platform that swivel and swing back and forth. Although you wear a harness and are secured to a metal cable throughout the entire course, it still is pretty frightening. If you seek a thrill to escape the mundane boringness of everyday life, then this place is for you! read more

What a great time! Our party included seven people ranging in age from 6 to 66 - and we all had a wonderful time! The staff was all very friendly and helpful. I expected the younger kids to love it, but my grown children and I also had a great time! It was very safe and well operated. read more

Great fun for the kids! I didn't do it but they had a blast. It's $33 for 90 minutes, but they never really kicked us off because it was slow and rainy I guess. Don't know, but I appreciated it. There are green, blue, and black diamond courses and two levels. So there's something for those who are fearless and those not so. There are 4 zip lines throughout as well that were a favorite for my kids. The workers were very helpful and kind when the kids got scared or stuck somewhere. Good fun when you want a break from hiking! read more

Great place to spend some time adventuring and stepping outside of your comfort zone. The staff was awesome and explained everything very well. Safety is number one priority and they make you feel safe by giving great instruction. This was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but the kids I was with didn't blink an eye and went from obstacle to obstacle with no problems. Reserved our appt. online and signed out waivers so check in was super simple. Thanks to all of the staff at Open Air, we had a great time! read more

My 9 year old son had a blast! Spent over an hour cruising the obstacles and daring heights. For $35 I think it was definitely worth it. He got great instruction at the beginning. It helped him feel safe and calm his fears. There were staff on every level to assist. But I would say they were not always concentrating on their guests and too into their conversations with one another. This place is rather new and looks like they are continuously making addictions to their site. There is some seating benches and a couple picnic tables for observers. Could use some landscaping. Where you pay is a little cabin with restrooms, drinks and a few souvenirs. read more

Seriously fun! My daughter (11) and I spent a very enjoyable time trying out all the fun challenges on this course. The staff were around to help if someone got stuck or explain an obstacle. But you get to explore on your own. We had an 11am time slot, which turned out great. Yes, we were hot by the end, but we never waited in a line for a challenge. And with sodas for $.81 with tax, it wasn't a big deal! Our favorites were the high air swing and the top zip line. We had to really throw ourselves into the air to make it across without an assist- something my daughter (and I) found amazing. One final thing- this may not be the perfect experience for little kids (under 6), depending on your child's temperament. There were 3 different children in tears because of fear or not knowing how to move through the course. Even the one with a parent was afraid. So just know your kid's level of daring. read more

My husband and I went to Estes Park for our anniversary. Open Air Adventure was fun for the both of us. It is definitely a challenging course, harder than it looks. The staff was friendly, fun, and professional. The only thing that would have made it better is if we would have worn gloves. Being on the course is such a thrill that you hold on the the cords so tight! Thank you Open Air Adventure! read more

Whoa... seriously. SO. MUCH. FUN. ... and tons of fun for your buck too! I went up to Open Air Adventure Park in Estes last weekend with some friends and it was an insanely beautiful day and a super fun activity in sunny Colorado. We pulled into the parking lot and I saw the course already had a bunch of people on it having a blast... lots of people of all ages even little kids! We didn't have to wait at all before we were harnessed up, through ground school, and up on the course. I was nervous, and I CAN NOT believe this, but there are 35 elements to the course and I did them all! I can't even do a pull up and I am SO out of shape and feeling weak and I thought I'd definitely have to pass up a lot of the elements up but I surprised myself. It was a great experience. Our group had a blast going through everything and (when invited) being challenged by the staff to make it harder and more challenging. They were really encouraging and friendly too which helped make our day fun too! My favorite part of the course was the old chair lift at the top where you can rest and enjoy a great view of the valley. I have to say more about this... The staff were SO nice and knowledgeable. I hate to go to the gym because of the environment which can sometimes be really intimidating. The course didn't feel like that AT ALL. The staff assured us that if we needed it, they would be there to rescue/help etc. but really just kept encouraging. Another cool part of the day for me was getting passed up by this 62 year old woman at the top level of the course. I thought I was really doing great until she came flying up to me... she literally did the zip line 30 ft above the ground and was flying at me. It was great to see that people of all ages and skill levels can come and enjoy the park. I can't wait to bring my family back. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun day trip from Denver/Colorado Springs/Boulder/Fort Collins... or an activity while in town on retreat or just passing through. It was a beautiful drive (we had lunch at Moon Kats http://www.moonkats.com and it was delicious!), lots and lots of fun at the park and were back in time for dinner in Denver. Go do this! You will love it! read more

The whole family had a blast. Easy parking. Easy clip in system. A good challenge on both levels of ropes. Super friendly staff was ready with tips. read more

Our 12 year old daughter and I checked this place out after seeing it from the top of the nearby slide. We wandered over and were very impressed. It was $35 for 90 minutes, including all safety equipment and instruction. Guides were very friendly and helpful. The 'elements' are rated by difficulty (green, blue, black). Once you've had the safety chat, you're free to climb about where ever you'd like. We stayed the entire 90 minutes and loved it. A good workout, too. A nice alternative to the bumper cars and mini golf next door. I love having options for fun things to do with my kids. Highly recommend. Parents - just get up there and join your kids. Don't sit on the benches and watch them for the whole time. read more

The team here was super friendly and gave a nice explanation up front on how to navigate the course and around the obstacles. Lots of fun runs from easy to super hard ninja warrior style. Unique place and great way to have a good time with the whole family. read more

Very creative activity for kids and adults, this is one of those things that we weren't sure if it was a tourist trap or a fun experience, it is definitely the latter of the 2. The reason it is good for adults is because it really tests your balance skills which is probably tougher for the adults than the kids. Well worth it!!! read more

Best return on your investment in Estes Park. Fair price for 90 minutes of fun and sometimes tough ropes challenges. Works for all ages 7+ (in my opinion), my 12 year old son loved it. I was wiped out at the end. Very safe -- impossible to fall with the system they have. read more

We took our three kids here (ages 8, 12 and 16) this weekend while we were visiting Estes Park. Kids had a blast, even the 16 year old! Staff was very helpful and did a good job explaining everything before the kids hit the course. The course itself is a good mix of both hard and easier features so there is something for everyone. It has two levels so those who are looking for even more of a thrill can climb up to the top level. Great new addition....highly recommend! read more
