We did Treetop adventure and Ziplining at Turtle back zoo and we liked it. It was easiest ( juniors) one that we chose but you actually need to be physically fit before trying this treetop obstacle course. The guides were young college/ highschool students and were amazing to begin with. They all four helped and guided us through whole path, told us techniques how to put steps over ropes and woodens blocks. Loved this brand new experience and highly recommend this one for families with kids 3/4 graders to teen agers. Very reasonable tickets as well. I especially want to thank all the guides staff members to make this experience awesome. I will highly recommend this well maintained, clean and bug free zone!

Good place, a lot of fun and medium level of challenge, perfect for a group of people with different levels of prep.

The only negative is that most of the time you spend waiting on the platforms between courses. They let pretty small kits go on adult courses and the kids have a hard time crossing courses with wide steps or if the hand grips are too high and it ends up delaying the overall flow.

Obstacle courses, high and low, accommodated older and younger, more experienced and less experienced adventure seekers. Staff seemed experienced in suiting everyone with appropriate harnesses and helmets. The staff was placed strategically, sohey could help anyone needing assistance.
A good time was had by all. I highly rate the Treetop Adventure Course as a fun and safe activity.

An awesome course that will leave you needing ice cream after. The course took us 2 hours because a mother and child were very nervous about completing each “challenge”. I’d assume it would normally take 60-90 minutes to complete the adult course.

Tip: make sure you wear shoes with grips! My allbirds were a little slippery for this course.

The junior ropes course and zip line for ages 7+ was fun for our kids was really a fun time. Nice to have this great recreation center close by. Admission was very reasonable.
Big kudos to the staff working at the juniors course as the child and mom in front of us froze up halfway. The staff patiently talked to the child while he was bawling, screaming, "I don't want to die" clenched onto a post. Eventually 2 staff members had to rescue him. Unfortunately, that meant our kids, myself and the rest of the group were stranded on hot sunny platforms midway for a solid 10 minutes. The safety harnesses are hooked up in series so you cannot pass or change the order of climbers.
It was pretty evident the kid was not going to be able handle the jr. course based on how scared (crying) he was on the initial beginner's course. Entirely, the inconsiderate parent's fault.
Possible tip: if the climber in front of you is crying before even starting ask to go ahead of them.

Went with my kids to the Treetop Adventure park and really enjoyed it. The admission was very reasonable and I think its a great park considering the drive/location. We did the adults course. The obstacles and stations were challenging enough and interesting for all ages. Extra kodus to the staff for being super supportive and kind to the kids on the course. My youngest son (9) had a couple of doubts and scared on the course but the kids talked and encouraged him to move a head and he was able to overcome his fears. Would give the place 5 stars if it had a couple more zip lines to do.

Happy to have something closer to NYC / Jersey city and don't have to drive an hour or two. Very well made course, but for the beginners it may take 2-3 hours to complete 2 courses and zip line. Courses are challenging and does give goose bumps, however felt very safe with the harness line. Wish Zip line could be more but overall nice to finish with that. Reasonably priced.

My older kids did the adult course, and my youngest did the juniors. My youngest needed some help, and the staff was very attentive and patient. The place is nice, it was just a little too hot and you have to be aware that due to covid you must wear masks, so don’t go in a super hot day. Bring water, the vending machines were off. Overall a great outing
