Trapeze Fun!
My 9 year old daughter received this as a b-day gift from a friend. We did not tell her where she was going since she tends to over-think things and would probably bail-out. When we arrived, her eyes got really big and she said, "I hope I don't have to go up there because I'm afraid of heights." I thought, "oh no...she's not going to do it." She had her 13 year old friend with her and that helped to give her the courage to go for it, but also the staff is AMAZING. They make you feel safe by telling you step by step what you'll be doing. They take all necessary precautions to assure you are safe. There were about 10 people in this class, she was the youngest. It's amazing how people bond together under certain circumstances. They all encouraged each other. The staff does not push you to do more than you are comfortable with. It was a miracle that my daughter even climbed the ladder to the platform (safety rope attached of course), then imagine my surprise when she jumped off (when instructed). She did not do everything that was available but she did a couple jumps and back flips which she was thrilled to complete. The rest of my family wants to do this too now. This is located at a residence but there is plenty of parking, chairs, shade and safety. You'll love the experience!!

Try something you'd never thought you would try.
The location is a a private residence and family run which I like. There were all different people who came out for the class. The instructors were knowledgeable and fun. It was a great experience even though I was terrible and will not be quitting my day job to join the circus. If you are looking for a new story to tell at work or school it is worth it.
