The company's park locations already open in time for Arbor Day will donate $1 to the Arbor Day Foundation for every general admission ticket sold at their parks, beginning Friday April 24 (Arbor Day) through Sunday April 26.

- About The Adventure Parks -

The Adventure Parks of Outdoor Ventures all feature multiple "aerial trails" installed in the trees and connected by various configurations of cable, wood and rope to form "crossings" of different kinds including the ever-popular zip lines. Climbers wear harnesses which are doubly secured to safety cables using the Park's own "always locked on" climbing system of interlocking carabineers (coupling links). Before venturing onto the trails climbers receive a thorough orientation. Trails are designed for self-discovery, making lessons unnecessary. Park Guides are always available for questions or assistance.

The aerial trails are color-coded according to difficulty and offer challenge levels suitable for kids, teens and adults, whether beginners or experienced climbers.
