Our family enjoyed a media day at Edge Adventures Aerial Park Deep River in northwest Indiana as part of our tour with Visit the South Shore. All opinions are my own! 
Edge Park Adventures Aerial Park in northwest Indiana is located right next to the Deep River water park in the city of Crown Point. This amazing park features over 50 treetop obstacles and zip lines that provide challenges and thrills at every skill level.
We had so much fun lined up for this Indiana adventure, but this was what Joy most looked forward too. She is my little monkey, though she’s not so little anymore. Would you believe she is taller than I am?
We toured the park early in spring before the leaves were on the trees. I bet by now the trees are green and full! First thing’s first. Before you can climb the trees you have to get suited up in the safety gear and take a quick class teaching you how to use it. And then you’re set for adventure.
Edge Adventure has five levels of ropes courses. You can work your way up to the more challenging courses, or if you’re a pro you can start at the top. Either way its hours of fun.
One of my favorite things about Edge Adventure Park Deep River is the Kids Park. Designed especially for kids ages 4-7 the course is close to the ground and not so scary, but still challenging for the younger crowd.
At other parks I always had some younger kids that had to just play in the grass and sticks for the duration of the adventure courses. Here Bobby was able to have as much fun as everyone else.
The kids course also helps give younger kids experience and eases fears in preparation for the regular courses when they are old enough. Get your younger kids on the ropes!
This little dude may look precarious on the zip line, but don’t let that fool you. He is my little dare devil and was so excited to be tall enough for the zip lines. He had a blast!
Just look at that smile. Usually when you see him in photos he is making his strange faces. When you see a smile it’s always genuine. He absolutely will not just smile for a photo. That kid! 🙂
I was especially impressed with the staff at Edge Adventures who were so enthusiastic, patient, kind, and encouraging the entire day. There were a few times my kids needed a rescue. For one reason or another they would get stuck on a line. Without fail the staff kept the kids at ease.
We had a fantastic day of fun out in the sun and nature. Make plans of your own to swing through the trees! Follow this link for pricing and more information>>>>>Edge Adventures Deep River.

May 15, 2018 at 2:21 pmThat looks like a lot of fun! I love how they have those super low ones for the little kids and then move up to taller and taller one. We’d love it.

May 15, 2018 at 3:38 pmIt’s great to see an adventure park suited to the whole family! I went on an aerial course last summer and let’s just say one time was enough for me LOL.
EstherIrish says

May 16, 2018 at 8:46 amThis is such a nice place to visit to have a great adventure. In this place, you can conduct a team building or a bonding time for the whole family and I am sure everyone will definitely enjoy it.
EstherIrish says
May 16, 2018 at 8:50 amI never thought about a team building time. We all just went wherever we wanted with my husband and I helping the little ones, but that’s a great idea.
Heather says
May 16, 2018 at 3:15 pmMy kids would love this! I wonder if they have something similar closer to us.
EstherIrish says
May 16, 2018 at 4:16 pmMaybe…but it’s a great reason for a road trip! 🙂
Heather says
May 16, 2018 at 4:07 pmThis looks incredible! My nine year old daughter is on a competitive rock climbing team and would love this experience. I really like there are so many different activities appropriate for different ages. Adding it to our travel list!
EstherIrish says
May 16, 2018 at 4:15 pmOoo! She would love it!

EstherIrish says
June 8, 2018 at 8:16 amWe found it very safe! There is always a risk in adventure, but they take every precaution from what we could see.
