Tree Hoppers Aerial Adventure Park

Description

Discover the thrill and challenge of Tree Hoppers Aerial Adventure Park, nestled in a beautiful old Florida forest. Tree Hoppers features 10 courses, with over 100 unique elements, including bridges, ladders, and zip lines. These elements create a series of climbing adventures that guide you through the trees.

Each course is made up of groups of elements, forming paths that vary in difficulty. While every course includes zip lines, you'll also climb, maneuver, and traverse various elements to reach them, ensuring there's much more to enjoy beyond just zip lining. The courses are designed to accommodate everyone, with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to expert.

All courses will be lit up with colorful lights creating a unique night climbing experience!
