Exploring the forest from tree tops will allow you see the diverse wildlife below without scaring them. The crossings and platforms have been adjusted to accommodate both adults and children. When you’re down from the woodland crossing challenge, the Forest View Retreat is excellent for a hot bath and a good meal.
