What to Wear
Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for your choice of activities and weather conditions - in other words, wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or in some cases wet.
Bring a towel along and maybe an extra set of clothes if you plan to participate in a water sport.
Shower and locker room facilities are available. Locker tokens can be purchased at the main ticket window ($2 one-time use) or the Outfitter's store upon arrival.
To rent a bike you will need to present a credit card at time of rental (charges apply only for loss or damage).
What to Expect
It is important to plan your day with the following information in mind;
- In order to maximize the guest experience, we set capacity limits on the the activities available to the purchaser of the Sport Passes
- Give yourself plenty of time to spend at the Center since there are limits to the availabilities due to the capacity limits (most folks spend 4-5 hrs at the Center engaging in several activities)
- Many activities fill up quickly during peak times (generally 11:30-3:30)
- For many activities we create a wait list to allow you to sign up for the next available trip in order to avoid standing in line
- We encourage you to try other activities while you wait on the activity you were initially seeking (i.e. stay active)
- Please check the daily activity schedule to determine the the day's schedule of activities
- Consider factoring in eating time since most people do visit the restaurant during their trip
- Please review the gear requirements for the activities so that you may come prepared. Please pay particular attention to the footwear requirements
House Rules
We look forward to your visit and ask all guests to follow our 4 simple rules:
- You are responsible for your own safety at all times and you must exercise extreme caution while visiting the Center due to the inherently dangerous activities and elements within the Center
- No Coolers or Outside Food and Beverage
- No Smoking
- Keep Pets On A Leash At All Times
Parents are requested to maintain constant supervision of small children as there are no guard rails around the river.
