Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course is located in Freedom Park, located a few minutes away from Colonial Williamsburg. The course allows participants to view the park from a vantage point that is otherwise inaccessible. There are a lot of obstacles that participants have to battle, making it a fun-filled 2-3 hour activity. Afraid of heights? The park employees have helped allay a lot of fears since they have been in operation. Their Go Ape Treetop Adventure was voted #1 Outdoor Adventure for the Eastern region of Virginia by readers of Virginia Living Magazine.
