Guide to Treetop Adventures | Experience the Thrill of Ziplines & Rope Swings

Posted on

All work and no play make for not a very fun day! So when I travel for work I take every chance I can to explore the city that I’m visiting. Tourism Victoria welcomed us with open arms once again as we asked the question, what’s the best way to work hard and play hard in Victoria? The answer we found…Wildplay Victoria!

Wildplay Victoria!

I had heard of Wildplay before but never had the opportunity to explore one of their parks. Wildplay Victoria is an adventure park full of challenges that will test you both physically and mentally. Whether you’re ziplining through the trees, traversing a tight rope, or jumping into the abyss, the course gets more and more challenging and fun with every step.

After signing off our lives and posing for a few promotional photos we were off to orientation in the trees!

What to Expect at Wildplay Victoria

Before you take to the Tree Top Adventure Course the staff prepare you with their orientation class. The Wildplay staff were great at teaching us how to tie off, be safe, tie off again, and then be safer. The reality was that we would soon be 40 feet in the air dangling from a rope and it was somewhat important that our safety harnesses be latched on properly! After we proved our new skills it was time to hit the course!

Wildplay Victoria Adventure Course – 3 to Choose From

Kids Course

The kid’s course is the perfect jungle gym for the little climbers in your life. Once on the course, kids can crawl, navigate, twist, and challenge themselves in this age-appropriate course.

Classic Course

The classic course starts off easy as you climb up a ladder about 12 feet into the air and test your skills on a short zipline as well as using the belay system. From there every obstacle gets a little more challenging as you crawl higher and higher into the trees.

I loved the variety of the challenges, whether it be jumping over logs, Tarzan swings, monkey bars 40 feet in the air, or rope crawls, this course had a ton of variety to keep your mind and body challenged.

The Extreme Course

Add this to your Classic Course and challenge yourself with the highest heights and unique obstacles. For me this is where I really soared, enjoying the hands-on challenge and the obstacles. My co-partner was way out of her comfort zone but managed to complete the course!

Don’t Forget To Have Fun

I love that they have such a great sense of humour… oh wait, this could actually easily happen!
