Eastern Connecticut’s After-Dark Adventure in the Trees

The outdoors have never been more exciting than at the aerial adventure park in Storrs, Connecticut!

Just minutes from the UConn campus in Storrs, The Adventure Park is eastern Connecticut’s hidden gem for outdoor adventure — and after dark, it becomes something even more special. Glow in the Park transforms 9 treetop trails, 106 platforms, and 28 ziplines into a glowing nighttime adventure, with fairy lights and colorful lights winding through the forest and a different theme every event.

Whether you’re a UConn student looking for something different on a Saturday night, a family from the Quiet Corner, or a group from Hartford making the trip out, Glow in the Park is a two-hour treetop adventure unlike anything else in eastern Connecticut.

Advance reservations are recommended — these events sell out.
