The River Riders Adventure Pass gives you access to a full day of activities! You get your choice of one guided activity and one self-guided activity.
The Harpers Ferry Aerial Adventure Park offers a variety of aerial forest challenge ropes courses, with different difficulty levels and ample space spread across four wooded acres. It provides a fun and engaging experience for individuals of all ages.
Our courses offer approximately 12 elements, including ziplines. Children can enjoy activities such as leaping across hanging lily pads, navigating a wobble bridge, and climbing a tree-stump ladder. Additionally, we have two courses specifically designed for children aged 4-6, featuring the Saferoller Continuous Belay System, Adventure Trail, and Ultimate Tree House. These activities provide hours of fun for children in this age group.
The Edelrid Smart Belay System is used on our other courses to ensure that everyone is always harnessed and clipped to safety lines. The Harpers Ferry area, located just an hour away from Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD, offers a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, whether you’re on vacation or just visiting for a day trip.
At the Aerial Adventure Park, it is required for children under the age of 13 to have a supervisory companion present.
Children are allowed to climb on the Chicken Little Child course, the kid zipline, and Adventure Tree House. Companions who are at least 7 years old must accompany children on the zipline course for the first time if supervised by an adult. Supervising companions must accompany children at all other times, including at the Tree House.
Youth climbers are allowed to participate in yellow and green courses as well as the Adventure Tree House. To access the blue and black courses, they must first successfully complete the yellow and both green courses, in addition to paying the adult price.
Junior climbers are allowed to participate in the yellow, green, and blue courses. To have access to the black course, they must be capable of completing the yellow, green, and blue courses and must also pay the same rate as adults. The maximum age to use the Adventure Tree House is 12 years old.
A companion must be at least 16 years old and be attending the same course as the child.
A companion who is at least 16 years old is allowed to supervise and observe the child from the ground.
Aerial Forest Adventure Parks have been used in Europe for about 20 years but have only become popular in the United States in the last 5 years. There are 600 courses in France alone and less than 20 in the United States. We are thrilled to bring you the first aerial adventure park in our area! The Adventure Park is a challenging activity. The participant utilizes a SMART belay system and can travel through the park at their own pace. The Adventure Park is for those looking to challenge themselves with balance and daring. It features zip lines, rope bridges, log bridges, and MANY other elements to satisfy adventure seekers. If you’re looking for the next challenge, this is it!
