Take on a family-friendly high ropes adventure in the woodland of Heaton Park, where eight treetop obstacles and five zip lines make an exciting introduction to the canopy. Move at your own pace with an instructor nearby, building confidence as you balance, climb and zip through the trees.
Arrive in good time to check in, get fitted with your harness and hear the safety briefing. An instructor will explain how the equipment works and be nearby on the ground as you get ready to start.
Step onto the treetop route and work through eight obstacles that reward balance, focus and a sense of fun. The course is designed as a shorter family challenge, giving younger adventurers and first-timers time to get comfortable at height.
Finish by flying along five zip lines through the trees before returning to the ground. You can take the course steadily, celebrate the finish together and make the most of the park setting after your session.
