We all love Zoo Atlanta and enjoy watching the tree dwelling animals fly with ease as they jump from branch to branch. If you have ever wondered what that would feel like...now is your chance. Treetop Trail is a brand new experience that has just opened to the public in March.
You can test your skills on the all-new aerial playground and have the opportunity to zig, zag, climb, walk, and balance at your own pace as you navigate a series of rope ladders, bridges, nets and tightrope-style foot lines on this newest experience. The Treetop Trail is open to all Zoo visitors, but participants must be 48 inches tall to participate without an adult. My daughters loved the experience (located in KIDZone) as they walked above the playground and experienced life in the trees. You are safely secured in a harness and are able to walk the course at your own pace and choose which direction you prefer. While I loved the steps, my daughter's really liked the challenge of the ropes! While we have experienced other rope courses and zip lines - this one is very unique as you hear the animals in the backdrop and enjoy the life of a tree dweller! Lots of fun!
MUST-DOS AT THE ZOO THIS SPRING BREAK
Be on the lookout for the newest member of the Zoo’s largest primate troop, 6-month-old baby Mijadala the western lowland gorilla, a granddaughter of Zoo Atlanta’s most famous gorilla, the legendary late Willie B. The Zoo’s Ford African Rain Forest is home to North America’s largest population of this critically endangered species.
