Minimum height is 42 inches, maximum weight is 100lbs.

Mini Ropes Course

A parent-guided ropes course for children (ages 6 & under). Kids love this smaller version of our “big” ropes course as it has all the challenges of the adult version without the added height factor. No more than two feet off the ground above a sandbox surface means there are no harnesses and lanyards to mess with. Be sure to bring your toddler along to play in the adjacent sandbox.

Mini Tree Climb

What kid doesn’t like to climb trees? We have modernized the idea with climbing holds attached in a manner that doesn’t hurt the living trees and an automatic self-belay system.
