Open Air Adventure Park

About

A ropes-style aerial course on the west side of town, with 32 challenges strung at 10 and 21 feet off the ground. It's a good rainy-afternoon or restless-kid option, and you get a view of the Park while you wobble.

Open Air Adventure Park sits at 490 Prospect Village Dr in Estes Park. The setup is an aerial obstacle course: 32 challenges at 10 and 21 feet in the air that you climb over, zip through, and balance around. It's outside Rocky Mountain National Park, on private land, so there's no entrance pass or timed entry to worry about, but it is a paid attraction. Booking is available online through their website and through Visit Estes Park, or you can call (970) 586-3066.

Honestly, I'd book ahead if you're coming in summer, and I'd check the website for age, height, and weight rules before you promise anyone a turn. Those details matter and I'd rather you read the current ones than trust me. Wear closed-toe shoes you can move in, tie back long hair, and leave the loose stuff in the car. It's a nice way to burn off energy between hikes, especially if somebody in your group has had enough of trails.
