Looking for an adventure that will make your kids feel like they have conquered the world? The Alpine Tower at Pearson Springs Park is a 60 foot climbing tower that challenges kids and adults to work through their comfort zones and reach new heights. Literally.
This is not just climbing; it is problem solving, teamwork, and building confidence in one go. There are multiple challenge levels so it works whether you are a first-time climber or a veteran. The best part? Certified instructors guide everyone through safety and technique, so you do not need any prior experience.
Who it is for: Kids and families looking for an outdoor challenge. Ages vary by program - check the schedule for specific age requirements.
When: Programs run throughout the spring, with sessions scheduled on various dates. This is a popular program, so sign up early!
Pro tip: Wear comfortable clothes that can handle a little dirt and climbing. Bring water. And for heaven sake, wear closed-toe shoes - sandals are a hard no on the tower.
Why my kids love it: The view from the top is genuinely worth the climb. My youngest came down beaming like he had just climbed Everest, and honestly? He basically did. It is one of those activities where you watch them realize: I can do hard things. That is worth the price of admission right there.
