Treetops Adventure The Hills is a natural wonder not so far away.
Secretly hidden amongst the tall pines of the Cumberland State Forest, you’ll find one of our most magical tree rope parks. Treetops Adventure The Hills is located only 30 minutes from Sydney city and is the perfect quick forest retreat for city slickers. With nine different tree ropes courses to choose from, family members of all ages can experience the fantastical serenity of this park.
A 2.5-hour session through the aerial challenges (including gearing up) will have you laughing along with the kookaburras. After safety, your adrenaline is the top priority, so the courses are designed to challenge you, no matter your level.

We visited Treetops Adventure The Hills this morning (11:00am–1:30pm, 11 Jan 26) and had a fantastic experience.
My eldest is 7 and a little cautious with heights, but she really wanted to challenge herself and have fun with her friends on the high ropes. She attempted the Junior Course Level 2 and got stuck. One of the staff members (name possibly Clare — I wasn’t able to confirm as she was on break when we left, and her colleague wasn’t entirely sure either. Photo attached), came over to help and guided my daughter through the obstacle with calm, clear coaching. When they completed the round together, she genuinely encouraged my daughter and helped her feel proud of what she’d done.
Later, my daughter decided to try Level 2 again. She got stuck at the last part (the flying fox). She noticed straight away, explained how the gear keeps her safe, and patiently encouraged her to step just outside her comfort zone. Even though my daughter still needed a hand to finish that section, she stayed positive and focused on what my daughter did well. After that, my daughter surprised us by wanting to try Level 2 again, this time on her own without her friends. She was noticeably braver and finally completed it independently. That confidence boost was priceless.
I really want to credit Clare’s patience and coaching skills. I used to be a high ropes instructor overseas, and I could see she has excellent judgement and a great approach: letting participants choose their level of challenge, supporting them without pressure, and prioritising their experience over simply “getting the job done”. Thank you!
Also a huge shout-out to Tara (photo attached). My younger child (3.5 years old) had his first high ropes experience on the same Level 2 course (his height was just right), and he froze halfway through. Tara coached him patiently from the start point, and when needed, she proactively stepped in to walk the course with him while guiding and encouraging him. In the end, he did the flying fox by himself, and you could see how proud he was. Tara’s patience and coaching were outstanding.
We’re very grateful to both staff members for making our kids feel safe, supported, and brave. Highly recommend Treetop The Hills, especially for families.

Fantastic courses, with enough variety for the 2.5 hour session. A range of difficulty levels available, for 3 year olds right up to advanced adult level.
The staff were polite and supportive, and quick to assist if needed.
Parking is a 10 min bush walk away, so make sure to wear appropriate shoes, regardless of whether you plan on climbing. Overall great fun!

The execution used to be good but the experience this time was disappointing. If you are understaffed during peak holiday season are a few suggestions to speed things up:
1. Limit the number of bookings. It felt overcrowded. At a time there were 8 kids on platform when it is supposed to hold 3 and the staff wasn't looking
2. Let parents help and harness the kids . It was allowed every single time before.
3. Instruct the kids together not one at a time not one kid at a time and 5 on the obstacle which is supposed to have 1.
4. Let parents help kids to start the obstacle course. They were allowed till the platform until last time, so why not now. The staff harnessing the kids was distracted every second as soon as a kid went to start the obstacle course, because obviously they were trying to do multiple things at a time: harness kids starting the session, kids starting to start a obstacle course and kids stuck on the course.
The kids were just standing and waiting 90 percent of the time.
At the western Sydney one we were always told that they expect parents to help kids where possible so why change thing here when it was same before

The tree climbing experience was fun, but serious safety issues when 4- 5 watermelon sized Bunya pine cones dropped from the top of the canopy - down over 10 metres to the ropes course smashing onto the course equipment and then dropping another 20mtres to the ground. They were 5- 10 kilos each, and in my opinion could kill someone on the course or below. I advised staff who said they would pass on the details, then another staff member said they had already and nothing was done. I would not be booking here at the moment .
