Tree houses and rope swings aren’t just for kids anymore. And the action isn’t confined to the backyard. Dozens of tree-top adventure parks have sprouted around the world, including the U.K., France, Bali, Thailand, and New Zealand. The parks feature rope bridges, zip lines, Tarzan-style swings, tree-top platforms, and more.
Adventurers wear safety harnesses and helmets, and are given thorough instructions before beginning their trek. The courses, which are up to 50 feet above the ground, usually take a couple of hours to complete.
