About
Treetop Trekking Miami is an aerial adventure park located on Watson Island — the same island that hosts Jungle Island and the Miami Children's Museum. The facility offers multi-level aerial obstacle courses suspended in trees, with ziplines, rope bridges, balance beams, climbing elements, and suspended challenges that require physical skill, balance, and comfort at height.
This is one of the genuinely differentiated outdoor adventure experiences in Miami. Most children's entertainment in the city is air-conditioned and indoor; Treetop Trekking is outdoor, tree-top level, and physically demanding in a way that challenges older children and parents meaningfully. For kids who've outgrown the typical trampoline park circuit, this offers a distinct category of adventure.
Courses run in levels of difficulty, allowing participants to progress from accessible beginner challenges to advanced elements requiring arm strength and balance. Children 7 and up with reasonable fitness can typically complete the entry-level courses. Taller, older children and teens have more options across the difficulty progression.
Closed-toe shoes are non-negotiable — this generates a significant number of disappointed families who arrive in sandals. Check before you come. Height minimums also apply; verify with the website before bringing young children.
The Watson Island location has advantages (beautiful Bay backdrop, tropical vegetation) and disadvantages (limited nearby food, parking shared with Jungle Island). Morning visits (arriving at the 10AM opening) are strongly recommended during warm months, as South Florida heat becomes genuinely oppressive for outdoor physical activity by late morning.

Why Kids Love It
Treetop Trekking Miami puts older kids and families on aerial obstacle courses suspended in trees on Watson Island — ziplines, rope bridges, climbing elements, and suspended logs, all harnessed at treetop height. For children 7 and up who want genuine outdoor adventure beyond trampolines and arcades, this is one of the few experiences in Miami that provides real physical challenge and elevation. The Biscayne Bay backdrop and tropical vegetation make for an extraordinary visual experience while navigating the course.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Closed-toe shoes are REQUIRED — flip flops and sandals are not allowed. Many visitors arrive unprepared; save yourself the frustration.
- Height and age minimums apply — check miamitreetoptrekking.com before bringing children under 7.
- Watson Island location means shared parking with Jungle Island — factor in parking costs.
- Morning is essential in summer: Miami heat makes outdoor aerial courses uncomfortable after 11AM.
- This is physically demanding — kids who aren't comfortable with heights may struggle or freeze on-course.
