“Adventure Awaits In The Trees”
Fun in the great outdoors—There’s nothing like a day at The Adventure Park at The Discovery Museum! Within five beautiful acres of woodland behind the Museum building you will find our amazing “aerial forest park.” The first of its kind in Connecticut! Experience “adventure in the trees” perfect on your own or with friends, family and parties. Ages five to adult. Look up—You’ll see a series of platforms in the trees connected by cable, wood, rope and zip lines to form bridges. Each bridge presents a different challenge of how to get to the next platform. A series of bridges form “aerial trails” throughout the forest. Relax—You don’t have to be a circus acrobat or Tarzan! Choose from eleven different color-coded trails, from “beginner” (easier and lower to the ground) to intermediate, to advanced (the most challenging). Climb with Confidence—You will receive a complete safety orientation before your climb. Our double-connected, “always-locked-on” climbing system helps keep your climbing harness securely attached to the safety line at all times. The trails are intentionally designed for your self-discovery, making lessons unnecessary. Our Park Guides are available to assist throughout your visit. The Adventure Park Outdoor fun in nature’s beauty • For kids, teens and adults—ages five and up • Great for group events • Challenge at your pace and level • Environmentally friendly - No motors, No electricity • Builds self-confidence • “Feel-good exercise” • Surprise yourself at what you can do • Tree-friendly—Designed to keep trees and forest healthy • Family/friends togetherness • Eleven trails keep it fresh for return visits • Convenient Tri-State location (One mile off Merritt Parkway, Exit 47)
