    If you're looking for an activity in the DMV area area that is not centered around food or alcohol, look no further! This a great activity for kids, but also thrill seeking and active adults. You will wake up sore the next day as you venture through the rope courses and zip lines. There is a difficulty level for everyone like all way to double black. As for me, I stuck to purple and yellow and made it through three courses in the three hours I was here. They have water stations throughout the park so no need to bring your bottle. Do wear tight fitting long sleeve clothing to minimize the chance for bruising and random cuts. If you just wanna bring the kids, there are a couple places to sit near the front. Staff was helpful and friendly throughout the park!

    Today was an amazing day! My gal pals and I from work decided to have an adventure today! It was really nice! We had a wonderful time. The set up and move around is super easy! Once you get the hang of it. I am going to take my hubby here for sure! The staff was wonderful and very helpful. They also offer a military discount. There are also water points after all the areas. So no need to bring your own water source. I am sure this place gets packed on the weekend so when the hubby and I do go it will be during the week for sure! Would recommend and will definitely be back.

    My neice and I love this place. Our favorite course is sprite because it has a bunch of zip lines. Snapdragon is nice and easy. Waterfall is HARD and requires a lot of upper body strength. Only down side to the park is the porta potty situation.

    Zip line Test your wits navigating a series of platforms in the trees connected by cable, wood, rope and zip lines.

    The staff is really friendly, took my kid for his 10th birthday and I joined him, there is a lot to do and enough time to do it.

    Not only a terrific place to go for a visit with the whole family, but also a great place to host a birthday party! Choices are both covered, and uncovered, which then allows a nice outdoor fire pit! There are 15 separate tree trails of different levels of difficulty, with the double black diamond being the most difficult. Each trail has zip lines but primarily consist of "bridges" between tree platforms. They are made of rope, cable, wood steps or logs, etc. Plenty of free parking and the staff is amazing! They'll start the outdoor fire pit for you!

    Really cool experience! Would definitely go back even though I'm afraid of heights but I felt safe being locked into the wires. There was a part where I fell so I did hurt my wrist & shoulder from pulling myself back up (precious injury) but otherwise it's a fun activity to do with friends or even family!

    Amazing place to go! Definitely not just for kids, there are some advanced level obstacle courses. I literally cried in fear before getting on one of them and I'm not easy to scare. I'm glad I did it! These courses will challenge you physically, mentally and emotionally. Also, a great place for a date. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. He aced some of the most difficult obstacles!

It was finally warm enough to do an outdoors activity so I booked us tickets to go over the Easter weekend. I reccomend booking in advance as they do get booked up quickly. Also make sure to sign the waivers beforehand; so you don't have to do it at check in. I must say the staff this time around was truly commendable. They were great at instructing us the how tos and safety measures. They were considerate and patient dealing with my young nephews which I noticed and appreciated a lot. We did the tree top journey course as my nephews are still young and aren't quite tall enough for the other/ more advanced loop. This one was perfect for them. Some parts were challenging and scary but we managed to brave through it and were having the time of our lives! Tips: wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Bring a attachable cord for your phone so you don't run the risk of dropping it LOL. An hour gives you around 2-3 rounds on the loop depending on how fast you go through the courses. So much fun! I am considering purchasing buying the packages to take my nephews throughout the Summer.

I took advantage of Black Friday offers and went on one of the last days they were open for the year. Freezing temperatures, but with good layering, hat, and gloves that wasn't an issue (I had pre-purchased their gloves, but wasn't thinking about temperature and got fingerless ... luckily I had brought a thick pair of my own gloves as a backup). I was by myself for the adventure (my wife stayed on the ground and took pictures - it's okay to bring spectators), but there were some other groups on different courses. The staff was friendly and helpful and made sure to tighten up the harness between each course. I did about half of the total courses - two full courses and one halfway, which had an option to return to the start before some obstacles I wasn't quite ready for mentally. The first two courses I did included a handful of obstacles and ended in a zipline. The obstacles get progressively more challenging as you go along, partially in terms of balance, but mostly in terms of fear factor. For me the toughest to psych up for was a set of free hanging ropes that you walk on. The Tarzan swing also took a minute to mentally prepare. The remaining courses I decided to save for another day after looking at them from the ground - I'd been challenged enough for the day, but definitely plan to go back and build up to those, hopefully with some friends along for support.

I watch the showman talk to my son about being afraid of the height and that he could do it and provided breathing techniques to assist him. It's nice to know that there are individuals at the establishment that go above and beyond to help out students kids and even adults. I will be back to the establishment to help build more confidence.
