Treewalk Village – geared towards children aged 3-7 years old, however on both visits I saw 2 year olds enjoying the activity with parental support. This activity is available to all ages. If you have older kids 8+ they would enjoy the full treetop trekking. This is a 2 hour activity, and timeslots must currently be prebooked. Children can run wild and explore from treehouse to treehouse that are 8ft from the ground. Each treehouse is connected by nets, hammocks and wood bridges that challenge children’s abilities in a fun way. Overcome the obstacles and enjoy a slide ride to the ground.
Snow Tubing – While the snow is falling get out while you can to take part in this fun family activity. No fancy equipment or special skills needed to take part in this wintertime activity. You can make a day trip out of it, or have an overnight getaway depending on how much time you want to spend embracing the outdoors and how far you want to travel.
