Safety
It’s our number one concern at Take Flight. Our staff is specially trained and equipment checks are done daily before anyone is allowed on the activities.
Do you require a waiver?
Yes. Every guest needs to read, understand, and have a completed waiver signed before participating. Guests who are under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian fill out the waiver before they can participate. Our waiver is available to be printed or completed online.
What are the height & age restrictions?
Both the Aerial Adventure Course and Adventure Zip Tours require guests to be minimum 48” tall and between 50-250 pounds. Guests are usually five to six years old and older.
On the Aerial Adventure Course ONLY, all guests climb in groups of two or three- no one climbs alone. One guest in each group of two or three needs to be able to reach a height of seven feet, the height of our belay cables. This is usually a guest who is 5’1? or 5’2?. One person per group of two or three needs to reach in order to move the clips from one cable to another.
How in shape/physically fit do I need to be to participate?
There is no quantifiable level of fitness required to participate in the fun. Participants should be of reasonable health and possess no medical conditions that could pose harm to themselves or others in undertaking light to moderate levels of exercise. The course requires varying levels of strength, stamina, and agility. If you are unsure about your ability to participate, please consult your doctor prior to your visit.
Are reservations required?
Reservations are highly recommended for the Aerial Adventure Course. Reservations guarantee your time on the course as walk-ins are on a first-come first-serve basis.

What equipment is provided? Can I bring my own?
All equipment needed to participate is provided. You are outfitted with a harness, helmet, and belay lanyards. You will not be allowed to use your own equipment on the course.
What will I be doing?
Our Aerial Adventure Course has over 65 elements of varying degree of difficulty, spanning three levels to a height of 36’ above the ground. Guests traverse the elements in groups of two or three taking on a new challenge with every step. Elements include walking, climbing, and swinging through the air.
Adventure Zip Line Tours consist of traveling on six zip wires connected to trees and utility poles where you zip from platform to platform. Zip lines are 75’-400’ long. In between some zip lines there will be bridges and cargo nets that you will use to climb to your next zip ride. Two staff members accompany each tour providing safety instruction, information on the area, ecology, and plenty of laughs!
What if I don’t have a buddy?
Guests can participate on the Adventure Zip Tour without a buddy.
For 2020, Guests can participate as a solo climber on our Aerial Adventure Course. We have suspended our "Rent-a-Buddy" program due to public and staff health and safety concerns.
