Nothing is more exhilarating and empowering than whizzing through trees on a zipline. If you’re ready to get up into the treetops while also staying a bit closer to the ground, then you’re going to want to know all about the ‘Glow in the Park’ aerial scenes in New York.

Just outside of New York City, The Adventure Park is located in Wheatley Heights. The place is packed with an adventure playground, self-guided treetop trails, treetop platforms connected by bridges, ladders, different zip lines, and other crossings. This place has the most exciting aerial courses and it belongs on your bucket list. But if you ask us the best part, you can experience all of this in the dark!
Head over once the sun sets and be guided along each trail by LED lights, a lighting system that has just been upgraded to be brighter than ever. And as for the tunes, every Glow in the Park event features a different musical theme, from the ’70s and ’90s to country music, so be sure to take a look at that when choosing your date.

The Glow in the Park adventure takes place at night, adding to the excitement of the experience. The course is illuminated with vibrant, neon lights, and you will be given a glow stick to wear as you soar through the air.
What To Expect There?

For example, the zipline itself spans over 400 feet and reaches heights of up to 60 feet above the ground, providing breathtaking views of the park and the city skyline. In addition to the zipline, the Glow in the Park experience also includes a ropes course, a climbing wall, and a free-fall jump. These additional activities provide even more opportunities for adventure and excitement.
The ropes course consists of a series of challenging obstacles suspended in the air, while the climbing wall offers a chance to test your strength and agility. The free-fall jump allows you to experience the thrill of a controlled fall, as you plummet towards the ground before being safely caught by the harness.
However, you are given a 30-minute safety course. Post that, you are able to spend two hours exploring the treetop trails that are all decorated in twinkling LED lights, with vibrant neon colours all around you as you’re up above the ground.
