Our family really enjoyed this park. From the zip lines to the wakeboarding our daughter and niece created long term memories. Even the old guy loved the Tarzan swing although my ribs may be hurting for the next few days. (I should have let go sooner). I’m not sure how enjoyable this place would be without limited capacity. Some lines were slow moving but somewhat expected. Check-in was easy since we completed our waivers at home. Limited tables so bringing your own chairs and blanket is highly recommended. We even brought in our own food. My wife and I consider this place the “Action Park” of Connecticut.

Music, wine and sunset.... Very good wines. They have a picnic area that is shaded where people bring food and buy wines, enjoy some music and chill.
