Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park

Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park is a family-owned zipline and ropes course tucked into a pine forest in Kissimmee, run by the Lemieux and Barbusci families who built it in partnership with adventure-park designers TreeGo and Outplay Adventures. It is not one of the mega-attractions clustered along International Drive, which is sort of the appeal. You show up, get harnessed in, and spend a couple of hours working your way through a genuine obstacle course strung between the trees rather than watching a show or waiting in a line for a single ride.

The park breaks its courses down by difficulty, with Green and Blue courses aimed at beginners and lower elevations, and Silver and Red courses pushing higher and harder for people who want more of a challenge. Altogether there are 97 aerial elements across the four adult courses, including rope bridges, cargo nets, swinging logs, Tarzan swings, and zip lines, one of which stretches 425 feet through the forest canopy. Kids are not left out either, with two separate kids’ courses built lower to the ground and totaling 21 more challenges, so families with a mix of ages and comfort levels can each find something that fits.

There is a real height and reach requirement for the adult courses (you need to be able to reach about 5’11” with your feet flat on the ground), so it is worth checking that before planning a trip, especially for shorter teenagers. Adult tickets run $65 plus tax, a junior ticket for ages nine to eleven is $55, and a kids’ ticket for ages six to eight is $40, with discounts available for Florida residents, seniors, military, and college students. An annual pass is also sold for repeat visitors. Booking is handled online through their ticketing system, and time slots can fill up on weekends, so reserving ahead is the smarter move rather than showing up and hoping.

What sets it apart from bigger, more corporate adventure parks is the scale and the ownership. This is two families running one location, not a franchise with a script, and the pine forest setting genuinely feels more like real Florida woods than a manufactured attraction, with actual shade and the kind of quiet you do not get closer to the highway. Staff run through a safety briefing and a short practice section before anyone gets to the real course, so it is beginner-friendly even if you have never clipped into a harness before. If you have already done the theme parks and want something more physical and outdoors that still counts as a proper Orlando-area outing, a couple of hours up in the trees here is a solid way to spend an afternoon, and it tends to wear kids out in the best possible way before the drive home.
