Ropes Course

An outdoor elevated ropes course built above our hockey rinks under a pavilion-style roof, so it runs rain or shine. A continuous safety line system keeps you securely attached the entire time, with bridges, balance challenges, tunnels, and a zipline finish on the Upper Course. The Ropes Course is open all year, rain, snow or shine. Reservations go through the waitlist and need to be in at least 24 hours before you want to climb. In winter, book at least 7 days ahead. No bookings on weekends during hockey tournaments.
