We have been to ropes courses in Germany and South Dakota and Tree Umph ranks up there with the best of them. This was our 4th visit to this business.
A well laid out facility, professional/helpful staff, and a very good video and hands on training to get people ready for the 5 different courses in the trees.
Courses are scaled growing increasingly harder. There are height limitations for the first 3 courses (Junior - but still challenging) with an increased height required for the last 2 more complex courses. There is also a "huge" zip line that everyone can take once they complete their respective courses. It moves quick (quite a bit of screaming going on - in a good way)
Safety staff are located throughout the facility and are ready to answer questions and/or calls for assistance.
You can make reservations or walk up. No walk ups pass 11am. We made reservations and it was smooth. Our course time was scheduled for 0830, so we were told to be there 30 minutes early in order to sign the waivers (these can be printed from online and completed prior to arrival), suited up in our climbing harnesses, and of course getting our safety instruction (via a nice video) culminating in a test rum through a miniature course to ensure we remembered what to do from the safety video. Everything was really handled well.
You can also purchase fingerless gloves to help prevent rope burns ($3 a pair) as well as buying a water pass ($3 per person) for access to bottled water throughout the day. Coolers are located throughout the course and the heat can really sap it out of you. This was a great purchase for us.
Tree Umph also provides a 20% discount to military and veterans. Be sure and mention that when you are making reservations. Tree Umph will go ahead and accept payment as well at that time.
Last note - if you have smaller ones who are not tall enough for the 5 primary courses, Tree Umph has built a special children's course for them to use. From what we could see, it appeared to be quite nice.
Everything appeared to be maintained well throughout the course. Oh, and you will want to bring sunscreen and bug spray.
A really fun adventure for those looking for something different outdoors.
