Off-Belay Adventure Activities

Adventure Reimagined

Bonsai Design’s Off-Belay Adventure Activities are specifically designed for a wide audience of patrons seeking the at-height experience of traditional Aerial Adventure activities who, for any number of reasons, are unable, unwilling, or simply not given the opportunity to experience activities centered around equipment and guides.

Ranging in scope from large-scale Adventure Playgrounds to single bridges, our off-belay activities are geared towards compliance with Aerial Adventure activities while meeting the primary regulations of Playgrounds as applicable to customized programming goals.

While the primary target audience for these activities is children, many of these products can be geared for multi-generational patrons as well.
