Treetops Adventures is opening its first aerial obstacle course in Canberra this April, which will be the first high ropes course in all of the ACT!

 

The new adventure park will be located at Majura Pines just a 20-minute drive north east of Canberra’s CBD, a formerly operating pine plantation now known for its world-class mountain bike trails.

What is a high ropes course?

A high ropes course is a series of aerial obstacles that include wobbling bridges, tight ropes, cargo netting, and a 75-metre-long zipline. The course is designed to test you physically and mentally as you move upwards on a self-guided tour around the treetops. Each session runs for 2.5 hours and includes all your gear and safety briefings.

The new Canberra park will feature eight rope courses suspended between 2-18m above the ground. Each course branches out from a central ‘Home Tree’ and there’ll be over 100 aerial challenges and over 19 ziplines in total.
