The park utilizes a 'clippable' safety system that keeps climbers securely tethered to a safety line throughout the entire course duration.
The courses are designed to test balance, core strength, and coordination rather than just upper-body power.
The aerial structures are built around living trees, with specialized hardware installed to accommodate tree growth and health.
The park features specifically designated 'Junior' courses designed for younger children to build confidence on lower-elevation elements.
Frankenmuth Aerial Park is a forest-based adventure course featuring multiple tree-to-tree obstacle circuits and zip lines. The facility utilizes a continuous belay system that allows participants to navigate various levels of difficulty independently. Courses are color-coded by height and challenge, ranging from beginner-friendly paths near the ground to advanced aerial routes located high in the canopy. It is situated on a wooded property adjacent to local tourist hubs in Frankenmuth. Participants are equipped with a harness, helmet, and gloves provided by the staff. The experience emphasizes physical activity and problem-solving through suspended bridges, swings, and climbing elements. It caters to a range of age groups and fitness levels through its tiered course structure. The park operates within a natural, outdoor woodland setting that remains active during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
