We recommend that all participants complete the online Waiver form in advance, to simplify and speed up your check-in process on the day of your visit. One waiver is required for each person participating in any Adventure Park feature – this includes both children and adults. Every Waiver form is valid for 365 days from the date of completion, so you do not need to fill out a form again for multiple visits in the same year or season.

Tour Times

The Adventure Park operates with “Tour Times,” with each Adventure feature (Ziplines, Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, Kids Kourse) beginning tours at different, specific set times. We promote a first-come, first-served system for signing up for Tour Times and each Tour Time has a maximum capacity of 15 people.* For this reason, we encourage everyone to purchase tickets online in advance before your arrival to the Adventure Park to guarantee you a specific Tour Time. We recommend that you return to the Base Camp building approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to your scheduled Tour Time. If you are not present at Base Camp at your scheduled Tour Time, you may lose your reservation to the next available participants.

To Purchase Tickets

Follow signs along the pathway to Adventure Park Base Camp, located up the hill from the zoo’s main entrance building and Lower Parking Lot, OR down the hill from the Upper Parking Lot. Tickets are sold at the Base Camp building of the Adventure Park or you can purchase tickets online in advance.
