Wow!! What a rad day!! We spent over 8 hours at the Wheel Mill and loved every single minute of it. Parking is available on the streets surrounding the building. Their website outlines exactly what the parking options are. Employees at the front were super helpful as this was our first time to visit. Took just a few minutes to fill out the waiver then we were on our way. The entrance fee ($55 for my husband and 11 year old son...I watched for free!) granted access to the entire facility! We could come and go as often as we wanted during their open hours. There are lockers available...for free....but I would suggest bringing your own lock. The lounge area had a phone charging station which was helpful after filing hours of video! There is a pizza place (Pizza Parma) that has a banner of specials posted in the lounge. We went that route for lunch and they deliver right to the front door of the Wheel Mill. Super easy! If you are so inclined you are allowed to bring your own coolers ...we were not that prepared though. There are some chips and packaged snacks available at the front as well as Gatorade and water. Everything was reasonably priced. There were all kinds of people there riding...young and old alike! Very family friendly. Fun to watch the talented guys do tricks on their BMX bikes. Plenty of riding options to keep my guys entertained ALL day! We can’t wait to go back! It’s very close to Bakery Square.

Skytop Lodge's Adventures

Reviewed By 507reinag - New City, United States

A fun challenge, definitely doable. Nothing to shy away from. Our awesome guide, Zach made sure that everyone was safe and having fun. He’s excellent with his instructions. You can’t mess it up. This zip line obstacle course made for a great birthday present for my husband, this was something we enjoyed together, and now planning to come back with our four oldest children. The younger two will eventually experience it, when they get older. Yup enjoyed it that much, it might become one of our family favorite things to do. And husband loved it so much, he couldn’t stop thanking me for the great birthday weekend! Even woke me up early on Monday morning to thank me again...ugh.
