My daughter absolutely loves this place, she's 11. We stayed at Fernwood for Thanksgiving and she did the adventure climb everyday for three hours. Perfect outdoor activity and she thoroughly got her money's worth. Staff was helpful and for the most part you can move through the course quickly. She got stuck on one of the swings and they helped her, she was too light to propel herself across.
We all loved this amazing challenge. we were there for a full day. We all did the different levels, some quite at the harder levels but we all enjoyed park. we all also did the zip line well worth it.nice grounds, staff were greatwell worth it
My hub and I went with another couple on 8/30 and the three of them wanted to zipline. There was a little bit of a line to pay but we got through quickly. It's the same line for ziplining and the tree adventure courses. They were harnessed by one of the workers who was nice enough and sent on up the hill which was about a five minute walk. We didn't have any problems because it wasn't very crowded but if you decide to go again on the zipline, you have to stand in the original line again. They should have a seperate line for those who already have all their equipment, etc. and just need to pay for another trip. The bathroom facilities consisted of porta potties (just so you know!) We would recommend this place.
We paid $98 per couple for two zips and two hours of obstacle courses. What we got was a 30-minute delay on the yellow course (which you are required to do first, no exceptions.) A small child in the front of the line had to be "rescued", with the line at a standstill for about 7 platforms behind him (21 people). We advanced to the green and took the one with less traffic and finished it in 20 minutes flat, then got to choose between blue and black. The black level course was highly strenuous and required bodybuilder upper arm strength, so I had to be "rescued" as well at the 5th platform of 10-12 and we lost our last twenty minutes. I'm giving this a three because my hubby liked it and the zipline was good, but I didn't have fun and we didn't get our money's worth. Recommendation: pick a low-traffic time of day to go, and make sure you are physically fit to balance on your feet and hold up your body weight by your arms for extended periods if you plan on doing the black course.
The ropes courses and zip lines were a lot of fun. The 2 hour course limit was just about enough as long as there weren't slow or terrified climbers camping out on the platforms between obstacles. Price is average for this type of activity. The staff was friendly and responsive.
This is truly an adventure. There are 5 courses 2 easy, 2 not so easy and 1 watch your step. Be prepared to use a lot of upbody strength a couple are deceivingly difficult. The only negative is the observers and there were quite a few, we're on their cell phones. It is very safe, you are always tied to the lines.
My kids (8 and 10) and I all completed the first 2 courses (excluding the bigger zip line) and had a ton of fun. I love the safety they have built into the course and every staff member we encountered was very helpful. The cost was a bit pricey but my kids loved it so much we did it 2 days in a row. Make sure you use the bathroom before going...they only have porta pottys
We were staying at the resort where this park was located so it was convenient to just walk over for the activity.Since we own timeshare we were able to purchase our tickets for the discounted price of $40. My children (16 and 12) did the course on their own with me walking below them.We have done obstacle courses at other locations so they were familiar with how to do it already. They don't wear helmets like we have experienced in other similar places however they have a very safe locking mechanism that ensures you cannot be untethered at any time.There are 5 different courses that are marked by colour. My kids did the easier course first and were stuck behind new climbers which resulted in them standing around waiting for quite a bit. They then progressed to the second level and there were some technical difficulties in front of them so more waiting around. However when I checked with the staff, they said if they hadn't finished by the end of their two hours, they would let them continue on.The blue course was quite challenging and by the time they had finished that, they were pretty hot and tired so didn't go onto the black.The staff seemed friendly but was mostly teenagers who spent a lot of time socializing with each other. Their instructions were delivered quickly and without much checking in on if everyone was getting it. There was no practice session, only a demonstration given by a staff member. I was glad my children were experienced as I'm not sure I would have had as much confidence given the limited information that was provided before sending them off onto the courses.On a different day we went over and did the 1000' zip line. It is a long walk up to the platform where we found the staff member lying down reading a book. He unenthusiastically hooked us up and sent us off two at a time. It didn't deter us as we enjoyed the quick trip over the trees. Long zips are always exhilarating and this one did not disappoint.
My boyfriend and I had the best time here. The course was amazing. They build up each level with different challenges. We did all 5 including the expert course. Going back we may do them in reverse cause we were tired for the hardest one. Make sure you top it off with the zip racer. It is a great afternoon for couples, friends and families.
My husband had one of the best times of our vacation at TreeVentures. He would have loved to gone back for a second visit if we had time.
