The TreeRunner Experience
The challenge is part of what makes it memorable.
TreeRunner is the kind of place where the experience changes as you move through it. One obstacle may feel easy. The next one might make you stop for a second and figure out how you want to tackle it.
That's the point. The park gives climbers room to start where they're comfortable and take on more challenge when they're ready.
Some guests come for the ziplines. Others come to spend a day outside with family or friends. And on select evenings, guests come specifically to experience the forest after dark.

Push Yourself
Nine trails. Your choice of challenge.
Grand Rapids' Aerial Forest includes nine trails ranging from introductory routes to demanding expert terrain. Climbers can progress through different challenge levels as they explore obstacles and ziplines throughout the park.
Intermediate Trails
Move into higher and more dynamic obstacles as the courses ask for more balance, movement and problem-solving.
Expert Trails
Experienced and eligible climbers can work toward Grand Rapids' most demanding aerial challenges, including Black and Double Black terrain.
Grand Rapids After Dark
Night Forest is part of what makes this park different.
On select evenings, TreeRunner Grand Rapids transforms. Lighting, music and the forest after dark turn the same aerial trails into a completely different experience.
The adventure doesn't end when the sun goes down.
Night Forest brings climbers back into the trees after dark, with illuminated courses and a nighttime atmosphere that feels completely different from a daytime climb.
It's become one of the signature experiences at TreeRunner Grand Rapids — whether you're coming with friends, planning a different kind of date night or simply want to see the park in a new way.
New to TreeRunner?
Think obstacle course. Put it in the trees.
An aerial adventure park is a network of elevated platforms connected by obstacles and ziplines. Instead of watching the experience happen, you're moving through it yourself.
Grand Rapids' trails include suspended bridges, cargo nets, balance obstacles, swinging elements, elevated platforms and ziplines. Different trails provide different levels of challenge, so your day doesn't have to look exactly like anyone else's.
