If you like to be up high, there are some other options other than ropes and ziplines. How about Scenic Caves Nature Adventure’s Suspension Bridge? It is the longest footbridge in S. Ontario, at 420’ in length. From 82’ high, you can see miles of countryside. Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is a 300’ long bridge, 30’ above the Ranney Gorge just south of the falls. The bridge sways slightly as you walk from end to end – YIKES! Or if you like to fall from heights, Blue Mountain Apex Bag Jump lets you freefall 21 ft onto the airbag waiting below.

Wherever your thrills & skills lie, you are sure to find something to excite everyone in your group at the Adventure Parks across Ontario. You don’t have to zip across the treetops if heights are not your thing. Explore caves, jump in waves, play mini golf and don’t let anyone push you around! There’s enough adventure and excitement to suit all preferences.

Enjoy!
