In addition to games, mini-golf, bowling, and a huge indoor playground, Fun Mountain just opened the massive, 4-story Timber Ridge Ropes Course. While there are a few other agility and ropes courses in the Show Me State, there are none quite like this.
As you test your skills, below waits a pit of live alligators and snakes! Don't worry though, these reptiles are just there to get your heart racing. The harness you wear while tackling the course prevents you from falling into the pit. The reptiles now have a safe place to call home while making your agility challenge a bit more thrilling.
The course includes zip lines, a rolling low, swaying ladder, a balance beam, and the chance to free fall off the QUICKjump platform. In total, there are more than 60 obstacles on this 40-foot course.
Participants must be at least 48 inches tall and must weight less than 285 pounds. Closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing are also required. Admission is $20 per person for the ropes course.
