As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets crisp, there’s no better place to embrace the beauty of autumn than The Adventure Park at Storrs. Nestled in the heart of Storrs, Connecticut, this outdoor haven offers a perfect blend of adventure and nature, making it an ideal destination for families, friends, and thrill-seekers alike.
Imagine soaring through a forest ablaze with fall colors, the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows creating a breathtaking backdrop. The Adventure Park at Storrs, the largest zipline and climbing park in the area, provides just that experience. With nine trails featuring a variety of challenges like bridges, tightropes, ladders, and 28 ziplines, there’s something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned adventurers.
One of the park’s standout events is the “Glow in the Park” series, held on Saturday nights through November 23, 2024. This unique experience allows visitors to zipline and climb through an illuminated forest, with each event featuring a different music theme, from 70s Disco to Broadway Favorites. October brings a special twist with autumn-themed nights, including a Fall Festival and Halloween celebrations.
Starting September 6 and running through November 1, Firepit Fridays offer a cozy way to end the week. Gather around the firepit with friends and family, share stories, and enjoy the crisp autumn evenings.
And don’t miss the “Eyeball” Scavenger Hunt from October 11-31, where hidden “eyeballs” throughout the park lead to fun prizes.
The Adventure Park isn’t just for climbers. Non-climbing guests can enjoy the scenic nature trails, picnic areas, and community firepit. Little adventurers aged 3-6 can explore the Adventure Playground, a low-to-the-ground experience designed just for them.
Located just minutes from the UConn campus, The Adventure Park at Storrs is open to the public and welcomes walk-ins, though booking ahead is recommended. Whether you’re looking for a daytime adventure or a magical nighttime experience, this park offers a unique way to enjoy the beauty of autumn.
