ROPES CHALLENGE COURSE

Looking for a mental and physical challenge?

Set high above the museum and spanning two floors, the Ropes Course Challenge is the perfect way to engage both your mind and body!

The Ropes Challenge Course is the perfect mix of physical activity and mental challenges. At the top, participants are a whopping 20 feet off the group (don't worry, you're strapped in!) 

Whether you're traveling across the Deep Burma Bridge, flying through the air with the greatest of ease on the Zipline or wobbling on the Swinging Steps, the Ropes Course Challenge provides a great sense of accomplishment for even the most skilled visitor. 

The Ropes Course Challenge is available for all ages - adults, we know the kids have what it takes, but do you?!
