    This was a fantastic experience, and I have to give credit to the staff for being professional, competent, and just all around super nice people. The zipline tour available for kids under 10 is wonderful - you don't need to feel like it's the little kids section. In fact, I saw quite a few adults picking their way with anxiety through the course, LOL. The training is fantastic, and you really feel incredibly safe the whole time. It's really close to Clifton Park, Albany, and Saratoga, and it is a beautiful location in any season. I highly recommend this place as a fun way to connect parents and kids together in an exciting, but really safe environment.

    This was a really fun activity to do with family. Starts off easy but keeps getting higher and more challenging. Our guide's name was Troy. He was very patient and encouraging with us. We felt very safe, they teach you everything you need to know about the gear and each group has a guide to keep an eye on you and give you tips on navigating the course if you have trouble. We had a range of ages and ability levels in our group and had an awesome day. I highly reccomend visiting with any friends or family members who are a little more athletic or adventurous. Some of the zip lines are really fast so be prepared for some fast landings! My body is a little sore from getting a workout up there. I was definitely sweating but it was good! The views from up in the treetops are really nice and we got some fun photos.

    We had a great time today at Mountain Ridge Adventure. Our guide, JJ, was helpful, attentive, encouraging, and teased my teenaged kids just enough for them to laugh but not get frustrated. When my daughter fell he was patient and got her going again. The park itself is great…not terribly crowded, loads of variety, challenging but in bite sized pieces. Overall, this was a fantastic experience at a local place doing something out of the ordinary and really fun. We definitely plan to go back soon!

    Our second time here. This time the birthday girl was old enough to focus on the zipline park. As always, such a clean, well organized and safe environment. Today our main guide was JJ, and he was great with all of us. From the near 50 year old mom to the athletic 15 year old boy and even the sassy newest 13 year old on the block.... he was personable, informative, encouraging and just a great guy. Thank you for another happy birthday adventure!

    We had an incredible family experience. Our guide, Connor, did a great job training us in ground school and keeping us informed on the obstacles. He was an absolute pleasure. We all really challenged ourselves and will cherish the videos, pics, and memories from our first experience. We will definitely be back, hopefully before the season ends. Quite honestly, I wish we'd done this years ago. Thank you to everyone we encountered during our time, they were all kind and helpful. One of the things I really appreciated is that they let us tour the space the day before our adventure so we had a better idea of what to expect. I feel like that was going above and beyond customer service. Loved it!!!

    Intense, exciting and a whole lot of fun!! JJ, Emma and Olivia were amazing hosts! They made sure we were well taken care of guiding us through our experience - Tree top pass 3 hours!! The courses were more than I expected and progressively challenging as we made our way. I have a fear of heights, but going through it gave me confidence. Loved the Inspire course!

    This place was worth the 2.5 hour drive! We did the full treetop pass, 3 hours of non-stop fun, and challenging yourself. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. Troy was our instructor, and he was amazing! We will definitely be back.

    We had the best time. I screwed up our reservation and Olivia was so understanding and worked hard to accommodate us anyway. This was a birthday surprise and we'd traveled a bit to get there and she couldn't have been more kind to us. The courses are so much fun and our guide, Troy, was totally fantastic to our small party - I'm sure everyone is great, but he was fun, encouraging and right there to keep us going. Would highly recommend and hope to go back again.

    I went to the park this morning and I had a very good experience. The staff is super friendly and the directions very clear. This was my first time in the park and first time doing zipline I'm a 50 yo guy and I didn't have any inconvenience with the equipment or the lines. I was surprised that I have to do it myself but I totally enjoyed the time!

    Amazing time at Mountain Ridge!!! Everybody there were super nice, knowledgeable, helpful and really seemed to enjoy what they do. Kelly was our guide and she was wonderful in all aspects…We spent the entire 3 hours and got nearly the entire course and zip lines complete. My daughter did the 40’ leap of faith and me running back to get my phone from the car was what added some time for us to complete all course, either way totally worth it!!! Will do it again for sure. Thank you to all of the staff!!!

    Took my boys 13 and 15, for the aerial courses and zip lining! Was a lot of fun!!! The aerial courses were very challenging…Rhi was an awesome guide always encouraging us!!! My 15 year old did the leap of faith and it was heart pounding, but he loved it!!! The best was the zip lining!! The boys went through twice cause we had extra time!! Safety was definitely number 1 priority!! Thank you so much!!!

    I had such a great time. Went in a group of four, the safety equipment is excellent, the staff is extremely positive and present, and oh my that 40 foot trust jump is quite something to experience. Doing the zip lines at the end was a great idea, we were all tired after 2 hours of nonstop climbing and it was a perfect conclusion to a fun morning.

  • 3/5 Cara C. 9 months ago on Google
    The obstacles, equipment, and guide we had were all amazing. Their FAQs states, "A Challenge Course pass is good for 3* hours... You can do as many courses as you can accomplish within the 3 hours for the Treetop Pass." We had 30 minutes to spare after finishing the treetop course and zipline course, and they did not allow us to do any challenge courses again. If repeating challenge courses is not allowed, it should be stated more clearly as it sounds like they can be repeated. It seemed a little unfortunate, especially since we paid for the whole time. Otherwise, the experience was great and everything was very timely.

    We had an amazing experience!!!! What an awesome group of zombies, they made us laugh, and scream with joy and a little fright. The zombies escorted us from our vehicle and even terrorized my girlfriend in the port-a-jon. She couldn't stop laughing when they scratched and clawed at the walls, even rocking it just enough to make it seem real. They truly made the entire experience wonderful.

    Let me just say.. This place is awesome if you like adventure, heights and even overcoming your fear of heights! I took my 2 sons and 3 of their friends to Mountain Ridge today and as it didn't go super smooth in the beginning (not because of anything with Mountain Ridge.. But I'll get to that) by the end they all had a great time! My youngest isn't very keen on heights so when he got to the first zip line and had to go up the scaffolding and go over the gorge his mind changed quickly. Emma got him down where we then met the WONDERFUL Lateesha. She took him under her wing and was patient in guiding him through what ever he was comfortable doing. By then end he was a green course "pro". I can't even say enoigh about how amazing she was with him. Alyssa also helped him guide his way through the green tree top course by weighing down the ropes so he didn't sway so much.. Again amazing. My oldest had a bit of a conundrum at the 5th course(and end of the day tour) and got all tangled in the log rope course but they immediately radioed to the owner and with in 5 seconds she had her gear on and raced to help him. The staff is absolutely amazing, helpful, patient and calm. Chuck helped the other 2 in the group guide their way through course 3 and then down. By the end of the day they all had a great time and one overcame his fear and wants to keep going back! Thank you so much for this experience.. We will definitely be back next year, stronger and better! PS.. Even though it's not required, please consider tipping them at the end! They work so hard to guide and keep their patrons safe and having a great experience..it goes a long way!

    My team and I had a great time at Mountain Ridge Adventure recently. The course is beautiful and challenging to various degrees. The ravine is beautiful and the ziplines are a blast. A great team building event. Definitely recommend.

    We went to Mountain Ridge Adventure for Father's Day as a group of 4 and had a great time! Our guides were Connor and Thatcher and they were friendly, funny, patient, and encouraging. Three of us did the leap of faith which was also a thrilling experience. The adventure courses were each different from one another and used different skills so it was challenging but doable and I always felt safe and prepared.
