Guest Preparation
Here at Adirondack Extreme we work extremely hard to deliver fun and excitement to all our guests making sure that all our activities are the perfect match for you. All of our attractions require “hands-on” interaction. The level of preparation is minimal, but Extremely Important, Safety Always comes first at Adirondack Extreme.
To assist us in providing you with a unique one of a kind experience, please take a minute to learn about our safety guidelines and requirements for age, height, weight and clothing that apply to our AEAC attractions.

Guidelines
Our Facility offers over 75 aerial adventure activities divided into six color-coded courses for kids, youth and adults taking between 2-3 hours to complete.
We teach You...You Show Us...
Once you have reviewed and meet Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course LLC guidelines and you have completed your waiver form and paid for your access to AEAC, you’ll be scheduled into a brief group training session.
During this 30 minute demo training, you’ll be fitted into your harness and your guide will show you how to attach yourself to safety lines and zip lines. This training gives you the knowledge and guidelines to self-manage the equipment designed for your own personal safety as you travel from tree to tree. You must demonstrate the ability to use the equipment properly before you can continue from the demonstration area. Once your guide deems that you can safely use your equipment, you'll be able to continue onto a course.
AEAC’s ground patrol and guiding staff observes and guides you in the proper use of equipment from the trails below the courses. These guides can also let you know where the course exit points are located at any time, if you want to get your feet back on the ground.
TreeGO Guidelines & Requirements
Please read the height and age requirements carefully for each course and be aware that in order to access any one course, all the minimum requirements must be met.
Height Requirements
In order for guests to be able to reach the safety lines and manage their way through the course they must meet certain minimum height requirements:
- In order to use the Yellow Course, each child is required to be able to reach the tips of their fingers to a height of 4'7" (140 cm) while keeping their feet flat on the ground.
- In order to use the Junior/Adult Course, guests are required to be able to reach the tips of their fingers to a height of 5'11" (180 cm) while keeping their feet flat on the ground.
Age Requirements
- In order to use the Yellow Course, children must be between the age of 7 and 11. Children must always be directly supervised by an adult. The Yellow course is not intended for use by adults. Adults may be injured by falling on the cables that are adjusted for smaller sized people.
- In order to use the Junior/Adult Course, guests must be 12 years of age or older. Those 15 and under must be directly accompanied by an adult or guide at a ratio of 3:1.
Please Prepare Yourself:
- Long hair MUST be tied back so as not to be caught in a pulley. Ask a staff person for a hair band if you require one.
- We don't recommend open-toed shoes (sport sandals will work, but are not as good as shoes). Sturdy sport sandals/shoes/boots are required and to be worn securely.
- Strongly recommend no jewelry (especially necklaces or loose bracelets which could get caught in equipment).
- Clothing should be appropriate for the weather and must be worn tight to the body to avoid catching on apparatus.
- Trees make sap. Sap stains clothes. Dress appropriately. AEAC is not responsible for damaged clothing.
Note: Guests not wearing the appropriate clothing may be refused access to activities to ensure that safety guidelines are met.
