How to prepare for your Treetop Adventure: Clothing, Footwear, climbing gloves.
We recommend the following:
Clothing:
• Comfortable clothing in which you can move freely
• Long pants to protect your legs
• A lightweight long-sleeve top for scratch protection
• Bring a jacket or fleece for cooler weather
Apply sunscreen – even in the shade
Footwear:
Closed-toe shoes with a good grip
No sandals, crocs or heels
Sneakers or tekkies work best
Climbing Gloves:
• And Don’t forget your climbing gloves
• If you don’t have – no worries, you are welcome to purchase a pair at the park’s reception, as it is mandatory for age 7+.
Gloves aren’t just for style – they help:
• Prevent blisters
• Improve grip on ropes and zipline gear
• Protect from sun and rain
• We recommend lightweight, breathable gloves you can still move easily in.
👉 Note: All safety gear like harnesses is provided at Acrobranch.
