Adventure with Us
When you purchase a three-hour pass, your aerial adventure starts the moment you book your tour! Our professional guides will be able to assist you with any pre-booking questions you may have to set you up for the most success and fun when preparing for your adventure.
Once you arrive at Empower Adventure Park at Nomads, one of our guides will greet you in the parking lot. We’ll get you in the mindset for adventure, no matter where you’re at, whether you’re a first-time climber or returning for the fifth time! Depending on your age, you will be able to choose one of our five courses to start. As you conquer each course, you can assess yourself to make your decision for which course you’ll tackle next.
Reservations are HIGHLY recommended, as limited space is available in each launch time and they tend to fill up quickly.
From Easy to Epic
five Courses of Varying Difficulty
Empower Adventure Park at Nomads has five courses expanding over our 9-acre property that range from easy to epic. We offer four different difficulty levels: Yellow being the easiest, moving up to green, blue, then finally our most epic and challenging being black.
The two yellow courses are named Sapling Alley and Acorn Way. They’re perfect for kids ages 7+ and adults who are new to our course and want to get a feel for adventure before trying some of our more challenging courses.
Our green course is called Maple Den, offering more balancing obstacles at roughly double the height of the yellow courses. Perfect for ages 10+, ages 7-9 must climb with an adult.
Our blue course is named The Willow and holds our two longest zipline courses, the second one reaching over 450 feet. This course is great for ages 12+, ages 7-11 must climb with an adult.
And our final and most challenging course is called The Oak Giant. This course will test your strength, balance, and emotions as you climb to heights around 65 feet, ride a saddle over our pond, and eventually make it to the end and face the epic Leap of Faith, a 65-foot jump off our final platform using our True Blue safety belay device. This course is great for ages 12+, ages 10-11 must climb with an adult.
