Finally, a ropes course for little ones has arrived! The Sky Tykes course is manufactured specifically for children ranging in age from 2-7 years old. Just like our larger Sky Trail® courses, harnessed participants will hook into the patented safety system and begin their adventure. A unique feature of Sky Tykes is the walk through element area. This special feature allows for a helper, usually a parent, to accompany their child while they are navigating around the course. Parents walk along side their child and are able to assist with any help they may need. The elements and safety track are specifically designed for smaller children who may not want to try one of our larger courses. This course is a perfect starting point for beginners or small children.

Built off of tower structures, the CTS Zip Line can be expanded to multiple towers to create any size canopy tour without using trees or wood poles.

About the experience The CTS Zip Line is a very family friendly ride. With a two tower set-up, the participant walks up a staircase to the launching platform. The operator gives the participant safety instructions and communicates with the landing operator that the participant is on their way to the landing platform. Once on the other side, the participant moves to the launch platform on that tower. Once again the operator communicates with the opposite tower that a participant is about to zip. Once the participant makes their way back to the starting tower and are safely on the landing platform, they proceed down the enclosed staircase back to the entrance of the course.
