4. Monkey Trunks - Saco
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
Monkey Trunks offers fun for children, adults and families! Participants begin with ground school and receive safety instructions on how to navigate through the course. They then move on to the green course to demonstrate they have the ability to properly use their equipment. After completing these two stages, participants will progress through the levels - each level becomes progressively more challenging! Monkey Trunks courses feature ziplines, swinging beams, tightropes, rolling logs, hanging tires, cargo nets and more! Each Monkey Trunks location includes a children's course for the littlest of monkeys, with platforms no more than 6' off the ground. The children's courses include 6-8 challenges with an 80' zipline at the finish. Reservations are encouraged and can be made anytime online or by phone.

18 Hole Miniature Golf Course And Ice Cream
Reviewed By 305wendym
We have been going here for many years, and we still love it now that our kids are teens! Pros...price, course, cleanliness, friendly staff, deck (you can bring your own food for lunch or dinner), and ice cream! They have the best shakes! Great venue to take the kids and their friends! Parking is ample and free, and you don’t need to break the bank to play....$2.00 per person for a second round! We haven’t tried the batting cages but enjoy watching, and looks like fun. Could easily make an afternoon or evening out of this venue with a pizza delivery. Cons...not many...have to get in the car to get here. Just a few miles from the beach!
