Just finished the Junior Course this morning and had an incredible time with the family! Check in was quick for us because we already made reservations and printed and completed the forms beforehand (apart for waiting for the large group in front of us who were completing forms on the spot - it would be nice to have 2 separate lines so that people who are ready can move along a little faster). The person who checked us in was super kind! We got there 15 minutes early for a 10am reservation, no one was taking temperatures when we got there but they were setting it up while we were in line. The young women who helped us with our harnesses and helmets were super kind and helpful and answered all of our questions. The course was great for my 6 year old niece - Garry was an amazing help! When he noticed she was struggling on the 2nd obstacle, he guided her through the rest of them with incredible patience. Instead of having her do the 2nd part of the course, which is way more difficult, we had the option of doing the 1st part over again, and my niece was able to do it with total independence (I could hear her using what she learned from Garry to coach herself through). My 12 year old sped through the course - she did this one when she was 7 and has since progressed to the adult course, so this was easy for her. Overall, we had a wonderful experience that lasted maybe an hour or so, which was ideal with a 6 year old. Very well organized, and the staff are professional, helpful, and super courteous.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids 6-12 who want a challenging outdoor adventure with excellent safety supervision. The staff's patience and expertise make this ideal for first-time climbers, but expect the junior course to be shorter than anticipated - consider booking multiple activities or the adult course for older/experienced kids.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Complete forms online and arrive early to avoid delays at check-in
⏰Junior course takes 15-45 minutes depending on skill level, not the full hour some expect
đŸŽŸī¸Staff will separate groups by ability - 6 year olds can repeat easier sections instead of advancing
🚗Book reservations in advance, especially for birthday parties or group events

“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.”

“Eleanor keeps asking to celebrate her birthday here. Her friends are borderline between the youth and adult courses, so we settle for playdates until everyone can pass the minimum height and weight requirements. This is a superbly maintained and staffed high intensity aerial obstacle course that is the perfect place for kids to bond and develop team work skills.”

“We came here with our troop, it was a fun activity for the kids. I have to say the staff is phenomenal and attentive to each and every child in the group. They helped them get through the Jr course if the child needed help and were so friendly, helpful and safe!”
