Closed for 2023

We will reopen in 2024 with some exciting new features added to the course.

Treetop Extreme

Drop everything and tackle Willen Lake's terrific Treetop Extreme.

There's guaranteed fun for everyone on our multi-level high ropes course. Climb, swing and jump around 16+ obstacles at one of three height levels. 

After you've made your way around the course, it will be time for the grand finale: the Treetop Drop. No matter which level you choose, it all builds up to ultimate adrenaline experience - a 13-metre freefall from the top of our course. 

Frequently asked questions

  • How old do you have to be to take part?

    Anyone over the age of 6 can participate, as long as they are at least 1.1m tall (Explorer Climb) or at least 1.4m tall (Adventure and Extreme Climb).

    We do ask for an adult to be present on site whilst any under 16’s are taking part in the activity. If you don’t wish to do the activity yourself (even though we highly recommend it!) there are various viewing area and benches around the course. 

  • Do I have to pre-book?

    Online booking is recommended to guarantee your session, but we do often have walk-up availability on the day. Please note, we can only accept card payments at Treetop Extreme.

  • What do I need to wear?

    We require participants to wear footwear that has closed toes and heels, so please don’t turn up in sandals or flip flops! Other than that, just wear comfortable clothing as you will be required to climb, jump, balance and scramble!  

  • What happens if it rains?

    Rain doesn't affect your safety, so it won't affect our opening times! However.... extreme weather conditions such as thunder storms, extreme frost or gale-force winds can cause the site to close, if your booking is affected then the Treetop team will be in contact as soon as possible to rearrange your experience.
