Opening for the Season: May 6th, 2022
Did you know that Holiday Valley has the third largest (in the U.S.) aerial park right in our backyard? You can swing through the trees on the Tarzan swing, climb up the cargo net, and challenge yourself on the thirteen different courses the park has to offer. Sharing the same slopes as we know in the winter, there is a series of bridges, platforms, and ziplines spanning over five acres. There are 170 elements, 142 platforms, 43 ziplines; the tallest platform is 68 feet and the longest zipline is 350 feet.
There are 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty: three yellow courses (Sunflower, Sunshine, and Snapdragon), five greens (Forest Run, Mountain Trail, Grand Rapids I and Grand Rapids II and Fern Gully), two blues (Waterfall and Rip Tide), two single black diamonds (Black Storm and Black Widow) and a double black…The Commando! All courses, except Commando, have at least one zip line and some have several. Grand Rapids is a dual zip line course that allows climbers to go from the park to the base via 2 sets of 6 side-by-side zip lines. The sixth and final zip travels down across the Tannenbaum base area to finish next to the Tannenbaum Lodge. How fun!?
Everyone is harnessed in with a special locking lanyard that safeguards you from falling if you slip or let go. Children must be at least 7 years old, and all guests must be able to perform certain physical tasks to participate (weight limit of 250lbs). Although it is no at all strength, it is also strategy and balance! We ask that you please dress appropriately with closed toe shoes (sneakers or hiking shoes) and bring rain gear if necessary! For your safety and comfort, we ask that you tie your hair back and do not wear any dangling jewelry! Tickets are for a three-hours and most climbers complete three to four courses during that time. Bring mom this weekend for Mother’s Day to climb! All moms climb for free on May 8th when someone else in the party purchases their own Sky High Pass. **Reservations are required on weekends and suggested for weekdays at the Aerial Park, call (716) 699-HIGH.
