Arapahoe Basin Aerial Adventure Park

First a few specifics: 

The Aerial Adventure Park is open by reservation only. Make a reservation here. 

The Adventure Park is open Thursday through Sunday only from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. 

Arapahoe Basin’s aerial adventure park is nestled against the scenic backdrop of the Continental Divide and naturally integrated into an old-growth forest of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir. Come play in the forest on 70 challenge elements across 56 trees. The park is an exciting outing for families and friends (ages 4 and up) that will test balance and physical and mental strength.

Make a day of it by adding on a scenic chairlift ride and homemade lunch at Arapahoe Basins famous 6th Alley Bar & Grill, going for a hike, or playing a round of disc golf.

The main courses take you on a self-guided tour high up in the trees. You will be trained on how to use your safety equipment, then set free to enjoy this experience at your own pace. Elements span the distance between tree platforms, offering opportunities to climb, walk, swing and zip through the forest.

The main park courses are laid out by degree of difficulty with two introductory yellow, two novice green, and one intermediate blue course. All courses include ladders, balancing features, traveling between the trees above the forest floor, and several include ziplines and jumps.

  • Time: Up to 2 hours 

  • Weight limit: Guests must weigh more than 50 lbs. and not more than 270 lbs.
