If you are looking for a treetop adventure in Greensboro, look no farther than the Greensboro Science Center. In the above photo, we're featuring SKYWILD, the science center's above-ground ropes course that opened May 2015. There are seven routes and sixty elements, rated from beginner to challenging. If you are interested, the price is $48 for a two hour session. All gear is provided and you are invited to stay the entire time or just part; and you have access to all of the routes and elements. The determining factor for how you spend your time is your fitness level, especially sense of balance, and upper-body strength. The elements range from 10- 45 feet above the ground. Children as young as eight may be eligible to participate, at the managers discretion.*
How wonderful that Greensboro has this course. It encourages people to be outside and to interact with nature. It would be a great team building activity for your school, corporation, religious group, group of friends; you name it! Oh, and if you are driving along Lawndale Drive and see people jumping around in the trees, remember that you are at SKYWILD.

If you want to see more, local journalist, Rosemary Plybon has a 4 minute YouTube video is you want to learn more about SKYWILD.
There is something like this up in the Niagara Escarpment here in Ontario, a network of paths up in the trees.
