The best family memories are usually ones that take place outdoors. Experience nature up close and personal with the entire family!
At AEAC we have five large circuits within our Adult courses, each containing a mixture of approximately 10-17 different obstacles. The obstacles range from, zip-lines, rope swings, scrambling walls, hanging nets, wobbly bridges and suspended “surprises”.
The skill level and height of each circuit is marked using a color coded system indicating the challenge based on elevation and difficulty. All five courses can be completed in approximately two and a half hours.
GREEN = Minimum Elevation/Minimum Skill
BLUE = Medium Elevation/Medium Skill 
SILVER = Advanced Elevation/Medium Skill
RED = Advanced Elevation/Advanced Skill
BLACK = Advanced Elevation/Advanced Skill
We also offer an additional sixth course designed for children.
YELLOW = for children only
On The Adult Course
After a brief 30 minute training session, you begin on the GREEN course (Discovery) where you get comfortable with the equipment and the rhythm of moving through each element. After defeating the green course you will move on to the BLUE course (Sensation). Suddenly childhood memories of swinging on ropes and climbing trees comes back to you. Your agility and sense of freedom return and away you go!
Our newest course is the SILVER course also known as “Adrenaline” it comprises of 17 new elements including 2 feature elements: our new 350 foot “Alder Brook Zip line” along with our new GIANT “Tarzan Zip Swing”.
Up further into the trees you head on the RED course (Emotion). Climbing higher into the trees, try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Balance comes into play when crossing wobbly bridges and swinging surprises. You're feeling confident now, you have defeated the first Four courses and can't help laughing out loud as you zip through the forest or watch your friend try to walk gracefully across a moving obstacle.
Yes, you have made it through the entire course, No, wait, you are not done yet! Now it’s time for the ultimate in focus and fitness: the BLACK course (No Limit). Before you set off, your senses take in the natural beauty and harmony of your surroundings. You climb up even further into the tree canopy discovering that your movements are even more fluid than before.
The finish to your adventure arrives at our two giant zip lines. Relax, sit back and enjoy the ride. As your journey ends at Adirondack Extreme you leave with a smile, a sense of achievement and memories that live on.
The courses are meant to be used progressively and the cost of admission covers one loop or rotation through all five Adult courses. At any exit point along the courses, you can descend. Walking paths will take you back to the guest services and welcome center.
