Now that both kids are double vaxxed and we're triple vaxxed and that spring is on the horizon we've decided to make a deliberate effort to be more social. This weekend we went out with the kids and a friend of theirs to a Treetop Trekking Playground at Binbrook Conservation Area in Hamilton.
While their aerial course doesn't open until April, there was still a lot for us to explore there and the kids and adults all had a blast.
The playground structure connects a bunch of treehouses to each other through a variety of nets, bridges, and tightropes.
There are various picnic areas for kids to take a break for water and snacks when needed, and to set down their coats and gloves when they get overheated from running around.
Since all courses are either completely netted in or low to the ground, the course is safe for preschoolers to big kids to adults. Since you book time blocks for the space there is no overcrowding. The course also operated on a red light green light path system which, as long as people are following the stickers, prevents kids from head on bottlenecks.
The Hamilton and Stouffville locations are open right now, for anyone looking to blow off some steam with their kids this March break, with additional locations in Brampton, Barrie, and beyond opening up beginning in April. Traffic was bad on the day we went, which meant we were over 30 minutes late for our 2 hour time block, that being said we had more than enough time for the kids to fully enjoy the experience without feeling shortchanged. I would recommend aiming to show up 10 to 15 minutes after your time block starts to avoid the lineups at the sign in centre and enjoy as much time as possible on the course, based on what I saw when we left. The cost to participate for Treewalk Village is $22 for kids and $10 for adults.
Both kids are excited to return later this spring with their three year old cousin.
