When should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check-in. Your adventure starts promptly at the time you've reserved, and we cannot guarantee accommodation for late arrivals.

Is it safe?

The safety and security of our guests is a top priority at RYZE Adventure Park. Our Adventure Tower uses the smart belay system, a technology designed for each climber to engage carabiners at the entrance of the tower stairs that will not unclip fully until the climber has returned to the bottom level of the stairs.

While there are inherent risks in outdoor recreational activities and extreme sports, we provide guests with the instructional skills training they need to engage in activities. Additionally, we have signage throughout the park to direct your adventure and our trained RYZE guides are stationed throughout the park to assist and monitor your experience.

How difficult is the course?

Our Adventure Tower creates a safe interactive atmosphere that features 4 levels and 100+ challenge elements that range from very easy to extremely difficult. Our course uniquely allows you to pick and choose your desired route. You decide how high you go and how hard you want to course to be.

Is there an entrance fee?

No. The Adventure Park is free for those accompanying a paid guest. Guests only pay to use the waiver-based activities at the park, such as the Adventure Tower, Observation Tower Pass, Mini-golf, etc.

What is the Cancellation Policy?

We want you to book with confidence! Our Flexible Cancellation Policy allows you to reschedule or get a full refund (your choice!) up to 24 hours before your booked activity time.

What happens if it rains?

The Adventure Park is open rain or shine, so we recommend dressing for the weather! If you don’t want to climb in the rain, you may always reschedule for a later time in the day or for a different day even if we remain open.

What is ziplining?

Ziplining is an exciting activity where adventure-goers slide along a steel cable while wearing a full-body harness that is connected to a safety system that has metal "wheels" that roll along the cable between two elevated platforms.

How do you stop while ziplining?

The RYZE zipline utilizes a traditional design that uses gravity to slow you down as you move along the cable and approach the "landing platform."
