Treetop Quest Dunwoody — Attraction in Dunwoody

I had no idea how extensive this course was when I bought my daughter and her friend (for her birthday) a gift certificate to this place. We live in in-town Atlanta near the zoo and have done the tree top quest there many times. You can’t really compare this one to that and I think most climbing/zip lining places (like we did on our last summer trip in the old city of Montreal which has a fun one) are different. I thought the price tag (around $45) was on the higher end but given the time you spend here it’s definitely more reasonable than I thought at first. Even after probably 2-2.5 hours my 8 year old didn’t want to leave. For the little ones, they have a smaller course which probably won’t occupy them quite as long, but it’s also cheaper, and he (my 5 year old) also enjoyed it as well as the trampoline in the sky ball throwing place. Skot, the manager who helped us get set up, was super nice and friendly.

The staff in general were helpful here and the tutorial for how to use the harness and hooks seemed to suffice, although at times we would have liked for more people around. Part of the course being so spread out is that even on a busy holiday weekend, at times the kids were really by themselves. The thing that maybe stands out the most about this place is how independent it is. At times the kids found this frustrating but I think it inspires independence, helps build confidence, and ironically the lack of help at times maybe ends up being more of a plus. It also means that there are fewer bottle necks assuming you aren’t doing the course with a big group, as there are many points where you have to wait for someone to finish the section before you go. The scale of the place also helps thinning out any sort of lines.

It’s important to understand that there are a series of levels and difficulties and different courses within the overall park/terrain and it’s a sort of choose your own adventure situation. In this way, you can hook and unhook yourself to these different courses as you transition and walk within the space.

My daughter really wanted to advance past level 3 and had gained the confidence to do so, but you have to be 12 or older for levels 4 and up. From a weight perspective with some of the course set up (and zip lines), I think this makes sense and ultimately my daughter loved it and still didn’t want to leave. We saw quite a few teens there who seemed to be enjoying themselves too, but they said there were fewer zip lines and more obstacle type situations with the higher levels.

I would definitely come back here and especially as my younger one gets older (I think it’s 7 and older for the bigger course?) try some more of the tracks. There are also some snacks at the main ticket place where people standing by can munch. Be sure to wear...

This place is really cool. Some of the workers didn’t look happy to be there but we really enjoyed Cooper. This was different from what I’ve experienced at other places.

When you get there, you check in at the rv with the wide open window. The girl at the desk is really nice. Once you check in, you walk next door at the base of the deck (pictured). Here you wait for them to hand you gloves and the deck is where they put the harness on you.

You then walk across the road to a practice area where they go over the safety rules. Courses 2-4 does not require assistance so once you connect yourself to them, you pretty much have to go through it’s entirety. You can holler for help from one of the workers but the times we did, they couldn’t do anything so you just have to power through. So make sure your kids are up for it because it’s a commitment! I did course 3 and it was definitely challenging, even for an adult. I knocked a star because the step off at the very end of the course is MUCH too steep and my mother in law sprained her ankle from it. I get that this place is marketed to kids but they have to assume responsibility for all ages and that last step really needs another step to be SAFE.

The chick pea course is adorable and my 5yo rocked it (it was her first time). They have 3 sections with one section at the very front entrance which we didn’t see until we were leaving unfortunately. Once the workers take off your harness, you’re not allowed to put the harness back on.

Two and half hours may seem like a long time but it’s really not if you want to do everything. Also, the workers could’ve done a better job managing certain obstacles, especially at level 3. One obstacle was backed up for over 15 minutes with 5 kids on one platform which is not only against the rules but super dangerous. I guess that’s why they have everyone sign the waiver?

Would I recommend this place? Yes but with some reservation for sure. Just be mindful of your step and know that once you start a course, you have more or less committed yourself to having to finish it in...

Had a great time. Went to the Dunwoody location which offers 4 different levels. Parking is free but very limited. They have a small lot and then some street parking. I would advise to get there early to find a spot. Registration was easy and waivers could be done online. It's hard to reach anyone via phone but correspondence worked well via email and Facebook. I went with a friend but they do offer levels for kids and teens. Upon arrival you get a colored coded wristband. Then you go to a platform to get harnessed up and they provide gloves. Next is orientation where they show you how to use the hook and zip line attachment. There's a few practice areas. Brief but detailed orientation and then you're on your own to explore. The guides don't lead the activities, you navigate them independently and are responsible for following the directions provided during orientation. No helmet provided. We opted to start at level 2a and within our 2.5 hour time frame we were able to complete levels 2a, 2b and 3. Maybe if you come in the AM you can complete all the levels but due to congestion and timing we weren't. The experience was fun. I think people of all ages with decent health can do this activity. It was challenging as far as balance and navigating some of the obstacles. Workers are noted throughout for assistance but they're on the ground. Based on your colored armband the workers will call out your remaining time for your visit. And I wouldn't recommend if you have balance issues, get dizzy or fear of heights. Just IMO. the scariest obstacles for me were the fishtail and logs. Otherwise I had fun. Level 3 did have thr best zip lining experience. I would definitely recommend for couples, solo...
