Did you think that the Next Level high ropes course at Sunshine Plaza is just for the teens?
Think again because this epic adventure park has courses for kids from six years old. And yes, it’s fun for adults too!
Located at Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore, Next Level is Australia’s largest high ropes course.
The courses come in four levels. So when you are standing underneath, looking up and wondering what to do, remember: the higher you climb, the more challenging it becomes.
Don’t worry, staff are there to monitor the towers, and grown-up supervision ratios apply.
Children aged 13 years and over can climb without an adult. But that’s no reason to sit out! It’s a fantastic activity to do as a family.
If you have non-climbers in your group, spectators can head up to the Viewing Deck, where you get a birds-eye view of all the courses. Visits to the Viewing Deck are free!
This epic adventure park also offers super-fun birthday parties, group bookings and KidZip sessions during the school holidays—where the Next Level team take kids (aged 6-12) on supervised climbs. So there are plenty of ways to climb, whatever your bravery level and ages.
So now there’s no excuse, what are you waiting for?
