During your climb, you will learn how to safely reach the top of the giant tree and take in the views of the parkland. You can hang out in the canopy or venture further out onto the branches if you're feeling brave, before returning safely to the ground. This activity is suitable for ages 6 to 100, and each session is run for up to 8 people, creating a unique and intimate experience.
