Get a bird’s-eye view of the woods when you get harnessed into the zipline, part of the Timbertrek Aerial Adventure Park at Chuckster’s in Chichester. The 240-foot zipline, which you can do separately if you wish, is also part of a series of fantastic elements (from horse saddles to “snowboards” and “skateboards”) that allow you to move from platform to platform in the trees, 10 to 35 feet off the ground. Cross log bridges and other spans that sway as you conquer this course with its emphasis on fun (There’s an optional route for those seeking a bigger challenge). Among the other attractions at Chuckster’s include the new Klime Wallz, competitive games like ChucksterBall and Frantic Hoops, the go-kart track and bumper boats, and the famous mini-golf course featuring the country's longest mini-golf hole!

You may be indoors, but it will feel like the sky’s the limit at the It Adventure Ropes Course inside Jordan’s Furniture, the largest indoor ropes course in the world. The zip rails in the course soar up to 56 feet and take you over a liquid fireworks water show. Other challenges (there are over 100!) on the four-level course include a double catwalk, crisscross angled rope ladders, zig-zag swinging beams, cargo nets and bridges, all experienced while you are secured in a full-body harness and sling line. For those kids under 48 inches tall, there’s the Little It course, positioned close to the ground with platforms less than three feet high and adults close by to lend a hand if needed.
