What to bring:
☀️ Check the current weather forecast. Dress in layers or bring a change of clothes to stay comfortable. Bring mittens on colder days.
👟 Wear proper-fitting, closed-toe shoes which are secured to the foot (no flip-flops, crocs or slides/flats!)
💍 Tie back loose hair and remove all jewelry and loose objects.
🚰 Bring a water bottle to rehydrate, and snack to refuel. We have drinks and snacks for sale at Guest Services.
📷 Stash your camera in a secure pocket to keep your tech tools safe while you record your story. You are responsible for your stuff!
🔑 There are lockers at the park for storing valuables.Take care of these three things to make sure you have a great WildPlay visit:
• Double-check the Access Requirements for the adventures you’re interested in. (Visit the specific Location page to view Access Requirements)
• Pre-book your adventure if you want to guarantee your play time. Walk-ins are welcome, and will be fit in at the next available check-in. *Even when guests do pre-book the zipline, waiting can still be a part of the process.
• Complete your waiver. Your check-in will be way easier if you’ve submitted your waiver online. This is super important if you’re bringing a group with kids or teens because you’ll need their parent/guardian to officially give the okay. -
Yes! Once a booking has been made, waivers will be sent as unique links in your booking confirmation email. This link can be shared with other members of the group by opening the waiver and copying the link. (Links are unique to each booking, so there's no general link to provide.)
Get your waiver done in advance for an easier check-in. And if you’re bringing kids or teens (under age 19), make sure their waivers have been signed by a parent or legal guardian. For walk-in visits, waivers will be completed on-site.
If you do not have a booking but are part of someone else's booking, please provide the park and the name of the person the booking is under. We can provide you with the waiver link.
If you do not have a booking but need to sign the waiver on behalf of a participant attending the park, the link to waiver can be texted or emailed once they are booked into the system.

Everyone feels the challenge of our Elements in their own way, but here is a general guide...
Zipline Tours• Physical: Low impact and skill level. Just hold your body taut and ride.
• Mental: Exciting. Significant heights to soar. (Guided Element.)
Adventure Courses• Physical: Progressive impact, from low to high skill level as course games get more challenging. Doable by almost everyone.**
• Mental: Exhilarating. Heights rise up to sixty feet – comfort in the trees typically rises too. (Self-paced Element.)
What’s To Fear Jump (WTF Jump)• Physical: Moderate impact (mostly as your stomach drops); low skill level (if you can take one step ahead you’re good to go).
• Mental: Nerve-wracking. You’ll need a little faith for this free-fall. (Guided Element.)
Primal Swing• Physical: High impact. You’ll feel the drop, speed, and rush of adrenaline right through to your core. Low skill level (just sit in your harness and hang on tight).
• Mental: Intense. You’ll wonder what made you do this. Then you’ll be so glad you did. (Guided Element.)
Bungy Jump• Physical: Super-high impact. Plunging into open air is the biggest rush. Skill requirement is progressive through six levels and over a dozen styles. **
• Mental: Awesome. We’re not sure if it’s bravery or bafoonery. Maybe both. (Guided Element.)

If your gut clenches at the thought of heights, speed, or falling, we understand. Most of our guests feel some fear – and we’ve been there too. While our adventures are designed to test your boundaries, we want you to be prepared.
Before you begin, our certified Guides will provide you with a thorough understanding of the experience, and how to manage your risk. On the aerial Adventure Courses, Guides who circulate under the course will coach you through any tricky spots. If you feel like you just can’t go further we can help you back down to the ground at any point. We bet you’ll be surprised (and thrilled) at just how far you go. -
We will do everything we can to find another check-in for you, as soon as possible. Call Guest Services right away at 1-855-595-2251 if you think you will miss your scheduled check-in time

WildPlay's elements are people-powered and have minimum access requirements. WildPlay's elements often require a participant to be able to move in a specific way or perform a complex task to participate. In many cases, for risk management purposes the participant must learn and demonstrate their capability to perform particular tasks before being permitted to participate in an activity.
Whenever reasonably possible, WildPlay strives to accommodate guests that have unique challenges. Due to the wide variety of challenges a human can face, WildPlay's policy is to deal with each individual on a case-by-case basis. Please call us at 1-855-595-2251 and we would be happy to explore ways to enable participation for those with mobility challenges.
