Great fun - We did ziplining and hanging bridges here 12 years ago and wanted to come back this time with our 10-year-old son. Ziplining is great fun, great views, but it's now a pretty mass event. Despite that, we had a lot of fun and our son was allowed to ride everything else on his own, apart from two cables that he did in tandem with me. Spectacular views guaranteed! The park with the hanging bridges is super beautiful, if you take your time and pay attention, you'll be rewarded with great scenery and some animals

Fun experience. - My family did the zip lining and hanging bridges (self guided). Both are great. It was a little raining misty when we went. I recommend doing the bridges first, because our clothes got a little wet zip lining. It was more enjoyable to walk bridges when clothes are completely dry. Rain jackets and pants (quick dry) is the way to go. The zip lining was great. Definitely enough thrills for my kids and I as first timers. The kids just hold onto the strap and carabiner. They don’t need to grab the cable ever. In fact my wife and I also didn’t need to hand break. The workers work the breaks. So the break system differences between this park and others is not a big deal. The only benefit I see is the handle system would prevent you from spinning backwards. But that is easily remedied by adjusting your body position or twisting the strap you are hanging from. Both are solutions my kids (10&13) came up with.

Just do it. - This was very cool because you really fly in the air between the trees. sometimes it is a bit exciting because you go very fast. But still it is really super fun. Sometimes with two at a time on the zip line. The last line was 1 km although we did not measure there:)

Fantastic! - Great fun, super organized, very child friendly, we are totally thrilled! A mixture of adrenaline rush and a magnificent view of the rainforest from above. Some great photos are taken by the organizer, which cost a lot, but are really good. A few tips: If you want to take a GoPro with you, there are helmets with the “sled” connection - you have to bring the rest. But it is also easy to take with you on the stick in your hand. Kids can't make the Superman flight, it's for adults only. On the two longest ziplines, children ride together with an adult in a piggyback.

Worth a visit though with a caveat - Note that this review relates specifically to the sloth, butterfly and hanging bridge experiences. Overall the venue is well run with a shuttle bus service that collects you from your accommodation and return. The canopy tour was interesting and for those who may not have experienced similar activities elsewhere in Costa Rica it is worth taking the time to explore. It is not a difficult walk and will take between 60 to 90 minutes to complete. From our experience it is not one that allowed us to see much in the way of birds or mammals though we did see a coati high up in a tree. The butterfly tour was with a guide and you had the opportunity to see some of the butterflies at close quarters. You also saw some of the enclosures where the chrysalis’s were housed with new butterflies emerging. The sloth tour however is something we did though with some initial hesitation. We were very conscious that too often captive displays such as this while in the name of conservation are really tourist traps. We did as much research as possible online before we travelled to see if there was any suggestion that the animals were collected from the wild. To the best of our understanding and confirmation from the guides with much questioning we sensed that the animals were either injured or unable to be released back into the wild. You certainly do get a chance to see sloths at very close quarters. If like us, you have initial reservations please do your own research to make sure that the welfare of the animals is primary as things can change. I would have given the experience 5/5 had I had some reassurance that it was in some way endorsed by the government of Costa Rica. The guide did tell me that they received some government funding towards protecting these incredible animals though you would think that some licensing number or declaration would be made on your ticket or at the ticket office.

Highly recommended - The experience was great, adults and children enjoyed it very much, despite how expensive it is. It was our first time. I didn’t like that on some platforms the guys who help are very overwhelmed. There should be 2 people helping so we can all be calm. Just like incorporating girls on those platforms would also be nice, my daughter asked me that "why women can't handle carabiners..."

MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A DAY AT DISNEY ! - After a 2 mile drive up a pot hole ridden dirt track we got to a pretty well organised car park, and then ushered towards the shock and awe of the price of this place. We took the ‘silver’ package which meant you take a walk around and then go to the sloth enclosure. USD$241 for 2 adults and one child. We literally walked around and then looked at some sloths. The sloths were admittedly great but aside from that it was a walk where we saw a few coatis. If you want zip lining or a guide, be prepared to pay twice what we paid. Butterflies ? That’s extra too. We had much better experience with a night tour and frankly anything at all in La Fortuna. Save your money and go look in the forest yourself.
