Does a staff member climb with our party? Do I need a guide?
While our staff is on hand for assistance, our adventure park is a self-guided experience with trails that are intentionally designed for exploration and self-discovery. Trained staff will be available to assist with any questions or concerns during the climb. If you prefer a more structured experience, we have a limited number of guides for hire. You are welcome to hire a guide with advance reservations.
We have a party of kids. Do adults need to climb with them?
For ages 7 to 9 years old, we recommend an adult or a guide to climb with the party for the best experience.
Do I have to pay for adults to climb?
Any climbing adults or children will need a paid ticket as part of the birthday party package.
Do I have to pay for party attendees that are not climbing?
There is no charge for non-climbing participants. Spectators are welcome to come and join the celebration at no additional cost.
Are gloves provided?
We HIGHLY recommend that you wear protective gloves when climbing at the Park. You are welcome to bring your own protective gloves or you may purchase online or from our retail store. Sizes and availability may vary.
Examples of protective gloves include work gloves, garden gloves and bike gloves. Leather-palmed ones are ideal, but any protective gloves are permitted.

What happens if it rains?
The Adventure Park can still be fun while it is raining. However, the Park will close for severe weather such as heavy rain, thunderstorms, and high winds. If small storm systems are moving through the area, we try to stay open and ask our guests to take a break while they pass. Call before you travel to confirm the operating schedule. If you would like to reschedule your party due to weather, please contact us at 860-946-0606.
