‘Tis the season to play outdoors, and Treehouse World in West Chester is the place to go for natural adventures. This unique venue is quickly becoming a favorite destination for family trips, birthday parties and group escapades, and recently added a soaring Aerial Adventure course to its exciting array of games and activities.
A Soaring Zipline Obstacle Course
Unlike anything else in Chester County, the Aerial Adventure course takes you on a one to two-hour journey high above the treetops.
Make your way as a group from platform to platform through an exhilarating obstacle course filled with challenging elements like a burma rope bridge, swinging logs, seesaws and balance beams.
Zoom through the air at speeds up to 30 mph on the three ziplines suspended throughout the course. The zips are suspended anywhere from 10 to 50 feet above ground and provide the perfect amount of daredevil thrill. The third zipline is set up for racing, with side-by-side zipping above the Valley Creek Pond.
Participants must be age 8 and older, and those age 12 and older can navigate the course without a parent. Staff members are present to guide you through the course, and each adventurer is properly briefed on navigation and safety at the Treehouse World Ground School before taking off. Advanced registration is required for all participants; the cost for the course is only $60 for memories that are sure to outlast the summer. Want to see the Aerial Adventure course in action?

For little ones looking for a pint-sized thrill, check out Treehouse World’s Buccaneer Zipline for Kids. Those as young as age two can fly across a field at bike-riding speed. It’s the ideal foray into the high-flying adventures of Treehouse World.
Perfect Party Venue
Step outside the party box by hosting your next event at Treehouse World. Customize the thrills by choosing from a wide array of activities, games and outdoor fun.
Ever rock climbed… on a tree? Join your guests in scaling giant oak trees and challenge yourself to ring the bell at the top. Rock Climbing on Trees is a unique adventure, and partygoers at Treehouse World can’t get enough of it.
The Trampoline Bounce, a bungee-assisted trampoline for all ages, is another party favorite. Riders fly, flip and kick through the air in gravity-defying acrobatics. Four trampoline stations allow your guests to bounce without limits.
For a paintball experience without the pain or the mess, check out Archery Tag. Best suited for groups of 4 to 12, this activity involves teamwork and tactical maneuvering. Players shoot foam-tipped arrows with bows in an attempt to rack up the highest score. Treehouse World will even bring Archery Tag to your location, providing setup and referees for all-out competition and ferocious fun.

Summer Playdates and Hangtime
Treehouse World is not just for grand-scale group adventures. Consider bringing the kids for an easy and entertaining morning or afternoon. Open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day, Treehouse World provides plenty to see and do.
Enjoy the shaded Children’s Grove, perfect for those aged 2 through 8. The grove has hedgerow tunnels, swinging vines and pipes for music-making, and is a lovely spot for a playdate or pre-nap morning visit.
Let the kids play in the elaborate and fantastic treehouses and explore the Small Animal Mini-Farm, which is growing by sets of four all the time. A rabbit, chickens and guinea hens are the furry and feathered friends who roam the grounds of the mini-farm. Children can interact with the animals and even feed the rabbit, who is particularly fond of dandelions and wildflowers.
For hands-on, experiential learning surrounded by the beauty of nature, it doesn’t get much better than Treehouse World.
