The park is a great place to gather with friends and family. But today we went to Go Ape zip lining. It's a very nice course. And the staff was fantastic. We had Cara. She was very patient with our group including some who were nervous about ziplining. Definitely recommend Go Ape and Cara especially if you are a newbie to ziplining
