North Shore Adventure Park
Park Rules
Booking Online In Advance is Recommended
​
We ask our guests to make a reservation online - even if you do it at the last minute.
If you want to climb on a specific day or time, we recommend making a reservation in advance. We fill up quickly and there is not always room for last-minute reservations.
Best of all, you save $5 by booking online compared to doing it in person!
Arrive 15 - 20 minutes early
​
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your reservation time to avoid delays. If your group is 15 people or more, arrive 20 minutes early. You will need time to check in and get settled before Ground School starts (this is the training session/video).
​
Briefings/Ground School starts promptly every 30 minutes and we reserve the right to push your reservation to the next available time slot if you arrive late.
​
WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SPACE IF YOU ARRIVE LATE. If we are at full capacity, you may lose climbing time.
All Climbers are Required To:
​
-
Wear close-toed shoes, no exceptions.
-
Watch the safety video.
-
Wear and use safety harnesses and equipment at all times.
-
Sign a liability waiver. Please do this when you make your online reservation. Parents or legal guardians must complete the form on behalf of minors under 18.

-
Obey instructions given by park staff.

Rules for Minors at the Park and Supervision of Minors
​
Rules for Minors at the Park
Minors age 15 and below must have a parent or guardian with them at the park at all times. Please do not drop your kids off and leave the premises as the minors will not be allowed to climb.
Minors 16 and older may climb at the Park or participate in Axe Throwing without an adult present at the park, provided that a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18 has signed a waiver in advance. Advance reservations are recommended, parents can sign the release form.
​
Rules for Supervision of Minors at the Park
The North Shore Adventure Park offers 6 aerial ropes courses with 5 levels of ability for ages 3 to adult. Children under 14 may require supervision from the ground or on the course. Please see the chart below.
​
Children 6 and younger must start on the Li’l Rascals course and practice their skills with supervision by a parent or guardian. If the adult feels the child can handle the yellow course (the easiest course on the "big course"), the adult may ask for a product upgrade. Then the parent and child watch the training video to decide if they want to proceed. If they do, the child is evaluated for height and reach, fitted for a harness, and completes the practice line. The parent or guardian must also purchase a ticket and climb with the child on the course; 6 year old climbers are not allowed on the course alone.​
​
Age Guidelines for Axe Throwing
Minors ages 12 - 15 may participate in axe throwing provided that an adult guardian is throwing with them. Minors 16 and older may participate in axe throwing with no adult present, but a parent or guardian must sign the release form.
​
See specific Axe Throwing rules.
