Summary:
The zip line team of the two trainers that accompanied us on our adventure were excellent! Both of them were very well versed and gave great instruction and built confidence in the zip liners! Great job!

Summary:
Our six-year-old grandson and I explored this adventure park while the others were on the canopy zipline. They got done zip lining before we were ready to leave the adventure park! There was so much to do. This is well worth the money for a leisurely time with Children between 4 and 10. It was very hot while we were there, and the shade was welcome as well as some stops in AC’d places throughout the park. We would recommend taking cooling cloths and cold Water in the peak of the summer. However, the way it set up, you can return to the coolness of the restaurants as often as you please during the day. It offers a lot of adventure, satisfies curiosity and expends a lot of energy, leaving tired….. we were surprised by an impromptu afternoon nap when we returned to the condo!
