STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- The Go Ape Adventure in Mill Stream Run Reservation is going stronger than ever seven years in, with the new Treetop Journey.
It’s the perfect introduction to aerial adventure, taking you into a parallel world up in the trees. Live in the moment while navigating bridges, obstacles and a zip line. You can immerse yourself in nature for one hour and inspire a love for the outdoors.
Treetop Discovery is the next courageous step toward discovery. This experience is a shortened version (90 minutes) of the original Treetop Adventure (two to three hours), introducing you to some of the long zip lines and tree-to-tree crossings the course has to offer.
Treetop Adventure is the big one in the canopy. This is where you will find 50-foot-high tree-to-tree crossings, super-long zip lines and heart-stopping Tarzan swings.
Or how about axe throwing? This provides you the satisfaction of sticking an axe in the target in a beautiful park setting. Technique is more important than strength. And during the one-hour session, you have the opportunity to compete with your friends.
Forest Escape is an interactive and unique outdoor experience for families, friends and co-workers. Work together with your best problem-solving skills in a fun and immersive natural environment. Pick your teammates carefully, because each session is private and it’s up to you to conquer all the forest contains. This is perfect for birthday parties, team building, Scout groups and more.
