Opened in March 2010, Happy Gorilla Tree-Top Adventure Park is a treetop obstacle course with a network of bridges, swings, nets, trapezes, and zip lines. Suitable for kids age 7 and up, Happy Gorillas has two locations at Chaoyang Park and Beijing Shunxin Green Resort in Shunyi. There are currently 30 activities in Shunyi and 50 activities at Chaoyang Park.
The Chaoyang Park location has three courses: junior, medium, and grand. The surrounding greenery makes the spot ideal for a birthday picnic. The courses are split into sections to make it easier to rest or head back to the starting point if necessary. It takes around two hours to complete a course. Happy Gorilla is open to kids above 1.1m for the easier courses and 1.4m for the other courses. Kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Harnesses, safety lines, and helmets are provided. All participants must wear closed sports shoes.
For groups, there’s a special rate of RMB 2,800 for eight kids and RMB 280 for each additional child. Prices include a choice of obstacle course, two trainers, a birthday cake, bottled water, a birthday banner and balloons, photos to be sent after the event, and a certificate of completion. The maximum number of participants is 30 people.
Parties must be booked at least three days in advance and confirmed the day before. The reservation also requires a RMB 500 deposit and carries a RMB 300 cancellation fee. Families can also bring their own supplies, food, and beverages – as long as they clean up after, of course.
