A Tree Will Be Planted for Every Tree Obstacle Course Scaled at Adventure Park This Weekend

The Adventure Park at the Discovery Museum in Fairfield will be hosting its 2019 Arbor Day Weekend Climber Count Off from April 26-28. For each tree a child or adult climbs, Adventure Park will donate $1 to the Arbor Foundation, which will plant a tree to celebrate the holiday. Adventure Park sums up their initiative with the saying, “You climb a tree, we’ll plant a tree.” Since 2015, The Adventure Park at the Discovery Museum, along with the other Adventure Parks operated by the Outdoor Venture Group, have donated $13,917 to the Arbor Day Foundation–which means 13,912 trees have been planted.

Adventure Park is a challenging, thrilling complex of aerial trails composed on cable, wood, rope, and 200 platforms imbedded in the treetops. Climbers can choose a trail based on their experience and comfort level, and there’s a trail suitable for everyone–kid, teens, adults and groups, beginner climbers to experts. Ziplining is the most popular and arguably most fun way to get between platforms, and to keep climbers safe, Adventure Park double locks its safety harnesses.
