As we’ve covered previously, high ropes courses (also known as aerial adventure parks) are suitable for all ages – making them perfect for family weekends, couples, or groups of friends.

Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know before attempting this thrilling outdoor activity.

  • Key Information

Most adventure course parks are set in woodland areas, offering an ideal natural setting for outdoor pursuits.

Family adventure course


Many feature picnic areas and on-site refreshment kiosks, but we recommend bringing water and snacks. Even leisure activities burn more energy than you’d expect!

  • What to Wear

For optimal comfort and safety during your adventure:

- Closed-toe footwear: You’ll navigate rope bridges, climbing walls, crawl tunnels, and zip wires. Flip-flops or sandals are strictly off-limits!

- Outdoor-appropriate clothing: Wear flexible, full-length trousers (to prevent scrapes) and tops that allow free movement. Empty your pockets before starting!

  • Choosing a Provider

With many parks now offering adventure courses, always verify the operator’s safety credentials.



At Yumping, we curate trusted adventure parks across regions – simply filter by location to find courses near you.

  • Equipment

All gear must meet current UK safety standards (EN 15567). As participants self-manage their harnesses during unguided courses, providers supply helmets, carabiners, and full safety kits.

  • Spectators

While high ropes courses can be done solo, they’re far more fun with mates!
If any of your group (family/friends/colleagues) prefer to watch, most parks allow free spectator entry.
