DID YOU KNOW... EMPLOYEE SPOTL...

FOREST ADVENTURE ROPES COURSE

Take a trip to Forest Adventure and swing from the canopy like a real-life Tarzan. Cling onto climbing holds or inch up wooden ladders to scale impressively tall trees. Navigate from branch to branch as you swing on ropes and glide through the air on zip lines. Test your balance on rickety bridges, swaying rings and spaced-out, wooden platforms. Those inclined to falling can rest assured knowing their harness will catch them. Since invention in the 1990s, outdoor parks have sprung up all over the world drawing in people of all ages and interests; nature lovers appreciate the chance to get outdoors and city dwellers enjoy the thrill. Similar in feel to an amusement park but without the carbon footprint, the innovative courses built within the trees offer guests a stimulating, physically challenging and fun experience.
