“It is not a bungee,” says<br />

Hopkins. “It is controlled and brings<br />

you down slowly and lets you have a<br />

<strong>Muskoka</strong>’s aerial adventure parks<br />

are for thrillseekers and adventurers,<br />

but they also offer tamer options for<br />

great outdoors.<br />

Both locations also include<br />

mandatory introductory training<br />

parks offer, plan a visit of at least<br />

three hours and book ahead to<br />

secure your spot.<br />
