Anyone under 18 must have the waiver completed by a parent or legal guardian, while adults 18+ complete their own. Walkers, spectators, other non-climbers and mini golfers do not need a climbing waiver or climbing admission simply to accompany a group.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What are the age, height and weight requirements?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"tr-faq-answer\">\n          <p><a href=\"https:\/\/treerunnerparks.com\/raleigh\/junior-park\/\">Junior Park<\/a> is designed for ages 4\u20137, while the main <a href=\"https:\/\/treerunnerparks.com\/raleigh\/adventure-park-obstacles\/\">Aerial Forest<\/a> begins at age 7. Participation and trail access can also depend on age, reach, height and weight.

Individual trails commonly take about 20\u201330 minutes depending on traffic and the trail.

Wear comfortable clothing that works with a climbing harness and dress for the weather. Tie back long hair and remove dangling jewelry, scarves and loose accessories. Gloves are required for Aerial Forest climbing; bring your own suitable pair or purchase them at the park.

Reservation payments are not returned as monetary refunds; when the applicable requirements are met, use the rescheduling or park-credit options provided with your reservation.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>What happens if I am late?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"tr-faq-answer\">\n          <p>Contact the Raleigh team as soon as you know you are running late.

Harder trails can begin closing as much as one hour before the park closes, so plan to reach advanced trails earlier in your visit.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Can I walk along the trails to watch my group?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"tr-faq-answer\">\n          <p>Yes. Non-climbers can follow many portions of the course from the ground without purchasing a climbing ticket or completing a climbing waiver.

Restrooms and free parking are available at TreeRunner Raleigh, and the park offers a selection of snacks and beverages for purchase. Glass, alcohol and open flame are not permitted.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details>\n        <summary>Is the park accessible for guests using wheelchairs?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"tr-faq-answer\">\n          <p>The wooded terrain can make some areas difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.
