“Be prepared to have a lot of fun and get muddy! Very muddy! Wear old clothing, shoes and bring a bandana for your face. The zip lines are fun but definitely catch you with a jolt on the end or you may get stuck a few feet from the end but have no fear they will come quickly and bring you in. The horse back riding is definitely beginner friendly. The buffet lunch was very good but we had little time to eat. Well it was a great day the only down side is that your are rushed from one activity to the next.”
