Frequently Asked Questions

An aerial adventure park is a climbing adventure set in the forest canopy.  The park consists of platforms secured to trees with elements that connect each platform.   The park at Bristol Mountain consists of 7 courses (plus 2 additional courses in the Kids Adventure Park) each varying in difficulty and height above the ground.  The elements consist of challenge obstacles including: rope bridges, wobbly bridges, tight rope walks, climbing ladders, rolling elements, swinging surprises, and zip lines.

All access to the aerial park is from the summit of Bristol Mountain, via South Hill Road.  For directions, please click here.  The physical address is: 5589 South Hill Road, Canandaigua, NY, 14424.

Due to the limited number of harnesses it is important to reserve a harness ahead of time.  Walk-ins are based on availability so to avoid disappointment please book online or call ahead.  This can be done by making a booking online here or by calling 585-374-1180.  Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your reservation time to check in and get fitted for your harness.

Please wear well fitted clothing and closed toe non slip-on shoes.  Do not wear anything that will be loose and dangle that could have the potential to get caught in in the harness equipment, cables, ropes, or pulleys.

The park will operate in all weather with the exception of sustained high winds and lightning storms.  In the event that the park closes due to extreme weather all guests will be required to exit the park and will have the opportunity to wait out the weather for 60 minutes.  If the weather does not pass within 60 minutes, guests will be offered a weather delay valid for another visit for the amount of time remaining on their ticket when the course was cleared.  Weather delays are only able to be redeemed Monday through Thursday and require a reservation.
