Tried this for the first time. SO AWESOME. Teenagers looked to be the best at this as they were Fearless but was so fun as a full adult as well. Sooo many obstacles to try and I felt safe in my harness. The lesson to use the harness was fantastic and really easy - didn't catch/pinch my fingers at all. Wish staff were on the higher levels more often as we could not figure out how to work the unicycle but no staff in sight. 2 hours was perfect as by then we were physically exhausted. We did use the full 2 hours. We came exactly at opening hour and was totally worth it as we didn't have to wait for others to use the obstacles and didn't feel rushed. If you buy a ticket there is a bathroom in the campground you can use (need to buy a ticket so they tell you the bathroom code) before you climb. Lockers are quite small (but free) so leave what you can in the car - lots of parking, and it is free! Creekside Eats in the same park was really tasty and had tons of really nice outdoor seating. Our ticket (buy a ticket = get a discount to the other attractions) also came with a 15% discount on target golf which was so much fun too! (worth getting the unlimited buckets for 1 hour). read more

We walked up and they said Online bookings only. But they helped us make the booking nonetheless. They got a concession stand on one side of the parking lot. Closed toe shoes are checked. 2 hours playtime was plenty for us. Sent an email about our photos but never heard back. I signed the waiver and everything too. That's why I'm giving it only 2 stars. Maybe they didn't even snap the photos we asked them to. Staff looked bored and were not attentive. So it was hard to get their attention to take our photo. So I wonder if they even did. Also there was one person who had fallen from the monkey bars. He was just hanging there. His friends were trying to get help but nobody around. I finally found someone. He was on the same level too. Just not paying attention sadly. read more

Such a fun adventurous activity to hit up in the city! We would highly recommend to hit it up while it's open in the few summer months of Edmonton. This place is so much bigger than we expected and they have neat extra things going on like Thirsty Thursday where a craft brewery sells beer on the top patio. The aerial park has technically 4 levels, the 'ground level' which was a cheaper cost to go on of $39.00 is only for kids and their chaperone. Then the next 3 levels are for the adults and older kids and that cost is $42.00. Quite pricey but there doesn't appear to be a time restriction with that. I did notice on their website a Twilight Price where it's only $25.00 if you book to start less than 3 hours before closing:Any time beginning with the last 2.5 hours before closing. That sounds like a better price if you ask me. We got our tickets through the Edmonton Attractions Pass and that was definitely worth it and saved us some dollars! The course itself is super well done and it's more like a choose your own adventure with multiple routes. Similar style to a ski hill with ropes challenges being identified by colours as to their level of difficulty- green=easy blue=intermediate black=difficult. Our first time there we were able to tackle quite a few black ones but there definitely is a level of physical strength and fitness required. The ground school lesson before you go up is super easy and their instructors are very consistent in showing you how the click it system works as well as getting your harness gear on efficiently and effectively. And don't fret your not doing the lesson for a super long time either- they get you up on the course pretty quickly! I would say great for a wide range of ages! They have picnic tables nearby for those not brave enough to take it on and watch their friends or family. They have free first come small lockers for all the valuables. And the parking in Snow Valley is super close to the course. read more

Fun place great for kids and adults, great exercise climbing a lot but very fun. Safety is great too!

Oh gosh this was so much fun! But oh goodness I'm so sore afterwards! Worth it though! We got there early and were pretty much the only people on the aerial park when we began our visit which was really quite excellent. The facility encourages you to visit the restrooms first and then to lock any small valuables in the lockers at the base of the aerial park (like car keys for example). Remember the locker combination you set!! Then you go get the harness on (they provide ample instruction) and go through a short instruction of how to use the clicker system to lock onto and off the equipment. You're always attached to a cable when you're on the equipment which makes it really safe. This doesn't mean it's not difficult -- oh boy is it difficult! There were many obstacles/activities that I couldn't quite do, but I was able to select my favourites and do those. We really enjoyed the boat the trailer and the ski lift for example among others. A favourite was the terrifying rappelling down from the top level option... while I totally felt like a chicken I still managed to step off three times. The tightrope was especially fun/neat -- I highly recommend that obstacle! If you're afraid of heights or not at all fit, this might not be the thing for you, but the fearless kids and teens seemed to be having extra lots of fun. I would love to come back again in the future -- this really was great fun! I need stronger upper body strength/better fitness but this is something to work up to. Staff were really helpful. One even took photos but I'm not sure if he'll ever send them to us as we haven't yet received them. I had to get rescued off of one activity because I bent my ankle weirdly but no lasting injury. read more

At first, I was a bit afraid of heights, but afterwards, I felt like I conquered this fear! Once you build your confidence, this is a pretty safe and very enjoyable experience! I felt challenged and I had a great workout! We checked in at the Rainbow Valley visitor centre. It's between the visitor parking lot and the aerial park structure. The night before, I bought our tickets online and saved $3 off each ticket. Each adult ticket is $49 regular price. Like most activities with some degree of physical risk, we were asked to sign waivers. To save time, you can also complete these online. We were then given wrist bands and instructed to meet outside beside the aerial park structure. We waited near the picnic tables. Our guide Anthony prepared our harnesses and then gave us a vital orientation. There's a special cable attached to your harness with 2 carabiners, one on each end. This will literally be your lifeline during your adventure. You must learn how to hook this on properly. Along the cables that run through the various obstacle courses, you will find different colored plastic keys. I'm not sure what these are called but this is what I'm calling them. You have to snap the carabiners (initially locking part looks like a C) onto these keys. This snapping action allows the carabiner to secure around the cable. Once in a locked position, the carabiner part that locks, looks like a U (around the cable). Please see my attached photos to see what I mean. You don't need these keys to unlock the carabiner. There's a gold button on the carabiner handle that you push to unlock. Your carabiner cable is designed to only allow one carabiner to be unhooked/unlocked at any time. This is an important safety feature. On the ground level, our guide had us practice this important carabiner handling skill. Then it was time to explore! When we first started, I was very fixated on dealing with the carabiners while going up the stairs in the tower. To my surprise, the next thing I knew, we were at the very top of the tower! Initially thought I could do it...but then I realized HECK NO! At 50 feet off the ground, I was a pretty freaked out! The ground looked so far away. I was second guessing my ability to do this at all! To calm myself down, my boyfriend and I headed back down to the lower levels. We headed to level 2. In total, there are 4 levels of obstacle courses. To ensure your safety, you should always be connected to the cables, running throughout the structure. Even if you're just on the stairs. To go up in the tower, you follow the cables with red plastic keys. To come down, you follow the yellow keys. Obstacle courses that have cables with green keys are easier. Routes with with blue and black plastic keys are more difficult. Kind of like how ski hills are color coded to indicate difficulty levels. The obstacle courses were varied and some were pretty wacky! They had a bicycle, a hanging camper, a canoe, a picnic table, a chair lift, skateboards, an old miner's train cart, skis, tires, a rainbow climbing wall, nets, ropes, slack lines and more! Some obstacle courses require more physical fitness than others Some are more stable, while others are more wobbly. Some you can practically run across while others...require a bit more time. On the majority of the obstacles, only one person is permitted to cross at any given time. Luckily, there are plenty of obstacle courses to choose from! It was comforting to know that our guide was available to give some advice on how to complete the obstacles. If anyone gets literally stuck in the middle of an obstacle course, guides are available to save the day! Overall, I thought this was an awesome experience! I started on level 2 but made it to the top of the tower! In total we spent about 2.5 hours in the aerial park! I definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

Took advantage of the twilight rate and went yesterday evening (that made it $60 cheaper for the six of us). Booked two days in advance and were able to secure a time slot that worked for us. They only take 10 people per slot. What an awesome place! We were two relatively-adventurous fifty-something adults and four teens between 15 and 18. All of us had a ball! At first the "Click It" safety clasps on the harnesses seem a bit tricky to figure out but you'll get the hang of it quickly. The safety system is wonderful...it's pretty much impossible to not be clipped it with at least one end of your tether. I felt very confident that we were all extremely safe. The safety briefing and instructions at the start are thorough. The tower is massive with three tiers and so many different challenges in each level. I think it would be impossible to cover them all in two hours unless you were an acrobat or a ninja. I worked through different areas steadily and probably only made it through a little more than half. Each challenge is coded by difficulty just like a ski run: green for easy, blue for medium and black for challenging. I tried all three but stuck mostly to blues. No matter where you go, there is at least a blue to get you back to the middle. On the lower two levels there are more greens. If you are courageous or crazy, try the 50 foot drop! You freefall for only about the first 7 feet but it's an insane feeling to step off the platform into thin air!!! While you are not allowed to take phones or cameras on the tower, the guides will take as many pictures of you as you would like...you just have to ask. And they were very willing...not once did I sense an eye roll. I LOVE that the Aerial Park will send you the FREE photos of you doing your stuff! If you sign up when you check in, and provide an email or cell#, you will be sent pictures of the entire day that you were there. You have to sort through and find yours but then you can download and share as much as you like. Our group started out climbing the same areas but pretty soon we were spread out all over the place. Yet the structure is such that you can still spot each other often even if you're on different levels. The shortest in our group is 5'5". She sometimes had to stand on metal support bars to clip and unclip her harness. So when the website says that people under 4'7" would have trouble accessing certain sections, they really mean it. I, personally, think anyone under 5'1" would be challenged on tiers 2 and 3 for that reason unless they had a taller friend to help. The guides (staff) were friendly, professional, helpful and fun. They would sometimes call out encouragement if they saw us on a particularly tough section. You can leave water bottles at the ground level and there are free little lockers for cell phones, jewelry, etc. They even provide neoprene straps to help keep your glasses on! One person in our party didn't use it and, sure enough, he lost his glasses! Thankfully they just landed in the wood chips on the ground floor. We were all wiped by the time our two hours were up and we're all a bit sore today...but in a good way! :-) Would definitely recommend this as a super fun and different-than-usual activity. Well worth the money. read more

Was a great experience for our family. Some Of us are not the best with heights but with various levels of heights and various skill levels at each height it make it fun for all. Spent a solid three hours there and all were tired when we were done. Closed toed shoes are a must and they give you a basic tips and safety talk before you can go. read more

Wow, wow, wow! What a confidence booster and a perfect way to conquer your fears. I came out of this park feeling accomplished and on top of the world. It is entirely safe as you are always attached to a cable. There are various levels of difficulty to challenge every skill level. It is definitely a great workout. There are very small wallet lockers available for free, but I suggest that you bring minimal belongings with you as you cannot carry them on the course. read more
