Reservations are strongly<\/u><\/b> encouraged. This is to ensure that a harness is available for you when you arrive.<\/p>\n

Before climbers can enter the park they are required to sign a waiver. Non-climbers, need not sign a waiver. Anyone under the age of 18 years old is required to have their parent or legal guardian complete this waiver on their behalf. Anyone 18 years or older must complete a waiver for themselves. All waivers are required to be completed in advance. This will create a faster check-in and put reserved climbers into the trees much sooner. Each climbing waiver is valid for the entire season.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All climbing requires advanced reservations to ensure that there is adequate equipment available.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When you arrive you will need to check-in at the registration area. Groups will not fit into our registration areas and will need to wait outside. The group coordinator (person who set up the reservation) will need to check in the group at registration.

You will need to arrive 15 minutes early to allow for check-in, use of the restrooms and to get into a safety briefing. If you do not arrive early, it may delay your climb and take time away from the reservation.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Harder trails begin to close as much as 1 hour prior to closing to allow guests to complete the trails before the end of the night. Please make your reservation with this in mind to ensure you are able to complete all the trails you want to conquer.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Weather is very important when planning your trip. In most cases, the park will operate rain or shine. In the case of high winds, thunder, lightning, or heavy downpours, we may suspend climbing while we monitor conditions. Reopening is our goal but if any inclement weather affects your climb we can issue rain vouchers to you upon request. Refunds are not offered but we will provide park credits to use at a later time. To receive credit for what you have paid, cancel before your climb time through your confirmation email. The credit process is automated at this point. You will receive an electronic gift card for the amount you paid to climb with TreeRunner. You MUST cancel before your reservation time begins to receive credit.

Our trees act as a great umbrella for light showers. The park will close for heavy rain, as well as lightning or thunder when it is in the vicinity.

Read our weather policy<\/a> for more information!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We would recommend bringing as little as possible to the park. Beverages will be for sale at the registration area.

Glass, alcohol, and open flame are not permitted.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All climbers will take part in a ground school before climbing where they will be taught how to navigate our trails through the use of their harness, safety clips, and zip line trolleys. While the actual experience on the course is self-led, our staff will be monitoring you from the ground to assist if needed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Close-toed and close-heeled athletic-type footwear is required.<\/strong> We recommend dressing for the weather. In warmer temperatures, we recommend loose-fitting clothing that fits under the harness. The harness sits on the shoulders and around the thighs. In cooler temperatures, layers are best. It may be chilly when you start but you will warm up as you climb. We do climb in the rain so bring your rain gear! For safety reasons, long hair must be tied back.\u00a0<\/strong>We recommend taking off any dangling accessories, jewelry, scarves, etc. before climbing. Also, you will need gloves to climb – you can bring your own or purchase ours on site! Garden gloves work perfectly. Birthday & group ticket receive gloves complimentary.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
