Spring Soars at Adventure Park

Long Island’s favorite aerial adventure destination reopens March 20 with 14 treetop trails, 49 ziplines and special spring programming for families and thrill-seekers alike, including extended Spring Break hours and the return of its festive Easter Egg Hunt in the Trees.

Adventure season officially returns to Long Island on Friday, March 20, as The Adventure Park at Long Island kicks off its 2026 season in Wheatley Heights. Set high among the trees at the Henry Kaufmann Campground, the popular outdoor destination invites guests of all ages to climb, zip and explore its 14 aerial trails and 49 ziplines.

A longtime spring tradition for families, teens and anyone craving a little fresh-air excitement, the Park transforms the forest canopy into a playground of bridges, tightropes, ladders and zip crossings. Participants move from tree to tree on self-guided trails while secured in a harness system that keeps climbers continuously connected to the course from start to finish.

“We’re excited to kick off another season of outdoor adventure and welcome both returning climbers and first-time guests,” says Park Manager Phil Insalaco. “After a long winter, there’s nothing better than getting outside, challenging yourself and having fun in the fresh air.” 

The main aerial trails are designed for ages seven through adult, with varying levels of difficulty that allow beginners to build confidence and seasoned climbers to test their limits. For the youngest adventurers, ages three to six, the Adventure Playground offers a lower-to-the-ground experience that introduces little climbers to the thrill of navigating obstacles in a safe, age-appropriate environment.

To celebrate the season, the Park will offer special Spring Break hours from April 2 through April 12, operating daily from 10 am to 7 pm. It’s an ideal outing for families looking to unplug, burn off energy and embrace the longer daylight hours that come with the arrival of spring. 

Adding to the seasonal fun is the return of the Park’s popular Easter Egg Hunt in the Trees. As guests climb through the trails, they can search for hidden “eggs” tucked along the course. At the end of their adventure, participants can redeem their finds for a sweet treat from the Park Store. The Easter Egg Hunt is free to join with the purchase of a climbing ticket, blending classic holiday fun with an active, elevated twist.

Beyond the trails themselves, the property offers nature paths and picnic tables, making it a welcoming spot for groups and spectators alike. Non-climbing guests are admitted free of charge and can enjoy the outdoor setting while cheering on friends and family from the ground. 

Located at 75 Colonial Springs Road (East Gate) in Wheatley Heights, The Adventure Park at Long Island is open to the general public. Guests are encouraged to book ahead online or by phone to secure preferred time slots, especially during peak spring weekends and school breaks.

Designed, built and operated by Outdoor Venture Group, The Adventure Park continues to provide a safe, engaging environment where physical challenge meets outdoor discovery. Whether it’s a first zipline ride, a birthday celebration or simply a spontaneous afternoon of climbing, the 2026 season promises another year of high-flying memories.
