Whitewater rafting is clearly the star of the show here, with guides like Jeremy, Rocky, Sarah, Wolfgang, and Charlie consistently earning praise for being knowledgeable, fun, and great with kids. Families with young first-timers seem to have particularly good experiences, and the riverfront campsites add a nice bonus for those wanting to extend the adventure. The zipline and rope course offerings get solid marks too, with staff across the board described as friendly and accommodating, even when it comes to rescheduling. One thing worth knowing before you book: the ice skating rink uses a synthetic surface rather than real ice, and several visitors were caught off guard by this. It's not a dealbreaker for everyone, but if traditional ice skating is what you're after, it's good to go in with clear expectations. For the outdoor adventure activities though, the team here really delivers, and the brewery next door makes for a great way to wrap up the day.
Our zipline was awesome. Our guides were super nice and fun and the office helped us reschedule not once but twice. Thank you guys!
