Whether you’re extending your day of wonder at the adjacent Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center or dedicating a few hours to purely earthbound thrills, the Adventure Park at Virginia Beach delivers a legitimately unforgettable outdoor experience for thrill seekers of all ages. Within the borders of its five forested acres, you’ll find a series of elevated woodland trails peppered with 170 treetop platforms — all connected by bridges, rope courses and zip lines.
The Park’s engaging, self-guided courses are rated for six different levels of challenge, suitable for guests ages 5 and up; no previous climbing experience is required, but some age groups require adult companionship or supervision. After receiving a safety harness and briefing, climbers select a trail matching their comfort and ability levels — then go for it. All climbers wear safety harnesses to ensure they’re continuously connected to a lifeline throughout their time in the trees, and Park staff are available to assist at all times.
Traveling with a large group in which the kiddos outnumber the adults? Hire a personal Adventure Guide to ensure everyone gets the hands-on, all-smiles experience they deserve. We recommend booking your guide in advance to ensure availability on the day of your visit.
