The course is an elevated obstacle course suspended between the trees at 10 to 50 feet off the ground. There are several courses that are progressively more challenging. Some of the features of the courses include giant Tyrolean Zip lines, suspended bridges, swinging surprises, Tarzan swings, nets and much, much more. There is a 3-hour time limit for all reservations, and each reservation includes a ride on the BIG ZIP, which is 728 feet long!

-Each participant is given a safety demonstration by a trained instructor before beginning the course and will receive full instruction on how to safely traverse the courses.
