Treeclimb Adelaide is Australia’s very first inner city Ariel adventure park, and is located right in the citys parklands!
Tree climb offers a range of different courses which aim to cater for all skill levels. the most common climb is the “Grand course” which consists of 47 elevated obstacles within 4 progressions, starting at green, blue, red and black, each colour getting more difficult as you go on.
Whilst making your way through the trees you will also experience multiple Zip-lines, a Tarzan swing and a trapeze.
But before navigating through the tree tops, the team at tree climb will assist you wth harnessing up and will provide you with some safety instructions to get you familiar with some of rules. some of the these are as follows:
- no more then 3 people at a time on any given platform
- only one person at a time on any given obstacle
- remember to hook your carabina on at each obstacle
Tips to know before climbing
- Make sure to wear enclosed shoes as they are mandatory
- It is recommended to wear loosely fitted/comfortable clothing as you will be wearing a a harness which goes around your waist and abdomen. This might be a good time to break out the active wear.
- Get proactive and book online by using their website, linked below. Times fill up quite quickly there for the sooner the better.
- Make sure to have some spare change on you as you will be given a locker to store your valuables for a $1.
- You are able to take your own camera/phone up on the climb with you but it is at your own risk. I suggest bringing a phone pouch connected to a lanyard as it is quite difficult reaching for your pockets with your harness on.

My own experience
Continuing on from my roof-climb adventure at Adelaide oval, I hoped to expand upon my thrill seeking experience’s by taking on something a little more challenging. So i called up one of my mates and we made our way down to tree climb on a Friday afternoon after a busy week of uni. From here we were quickly greeted by one of the instructors, and soon after we began harnessing up whilst watching a safety video. despite my extreme fear of heights i was ready to take on the challenge and see what this unique experience had to offer.
From here we started on the green course (which is the easiest of the four), and were going through it quite quickly. some of the obstacles we had to overcome in this specific course included, walking over logs, crossing a rope bridge and finishing it off with a zip line ( see below).
As we continued to duck, weave and climb our way through the tree tops we finally made it to the black course, which is the hardest of the four courses. By this point we were both pretty tired and were giving it our all to finish the course with in the 2 hour time frame that is given. during this course we experienced a traverse rock wall, ring ropes (see image below) and one final zip line.
Overall Tree Climb Adelaide proved to be a fun yet challenging experienced, whilst proving to be a great progression from the Adelaide oval roof climb.
From this I highly recommend you grab your mates and come on down to check it out!
