The treetop courses are each given a designated color and difficulty level, ranging from beginner to advanced. There is no height restriction, but you must be at least 7 years old and under 265 pounds.
The beginner level course (yellow) is only about 10 feet off the ground and is a great place to start, especially if this is your first time in the trees. Every single participant must go through a safety orientation and there is always plenty of helpful staff around to assist you and make you feel comfortable. Most feel very comfortable on the courses after just a little time getting used to them.
The elements include zip lines, rope bridges, suspended tunnels, and more. Your harness and gloves are provided with your ticket, but you are welcome to bring your own gloves if you wish. They do recommend that you wear athletic or hiking shoes (closed toe is required), and clothing that is not too loose. You're also welcome to bring in your own food and drinks to enjoy before, during, or after your time in the trees.
Treetop Adventure is unique for many reasons, and one of them is the ability to climb as the sun goes down. This experience is available at different times throughout the year, so be sure to check their website (linked below) for info.
This treetop park is a fun-filled adventure for all, but if you choose to stay on the ground and watch, you're more than welcome to do so for free. But after watching all the excitement of the swinging and climbing, you may just change your mind and head up onto Kentucky's treetop park to check it out for yourself.
