Back in May, Charleston Aqua Park opened what they say is the first-ever above-water ropes course in the United States at the Trophy Lakes of Johns Island. The park is open daily from noon to 6 pm.
The ropes course allows people to swing, balance, and zipline their way above the water. Originally manufactured in Germany as the “Aqua Chimp,” the ropes course brands itself as a ‘floating jungle,' that encourages its participants to be simultaneously challenged and entertained, all while remaining low-stakes above a body of water.
“Since opening in May, our one-of-a-kind above-water ropes course has brought so much joy to our visitors,” said Charleston Aqua Park co-founder, Jessica Neumann. “There is such a sense of unity when a group of people comes together to have fun and be challenged— we're honored to be the first in the nation to offer this experience.”
While Charleston Aqua Park originally gained attention via its Wipeout-style aqua park, the addition of the ropes course has added new fun for individuals of all ages and skill levels. People have already used the course for birthday parties, camps, corporate team building, college outings, date nights, and more.
The ropes course is $18.90 for 45 minutes and can be enjoyed by all individuals over the age of six. You can reserve an appointment on Charleston Aqua Park's website.
