About
SOAR Adventure Tower in Franklin, TN delivers the kind of physical challenge experience that older kids and tweens specifically crave — high ropes course elements at varying heights with harness safety systems that create real accomplishment rather than safe-feeling pretend adventure.
The format is a multi-level outdoor ropes course with progressively challenging elements — balance beams, rope bridges, climbing walls, and zip line elements that test coordination and courage in ways indoor play facilities can't replicate. For kids aged 7-17 who are past the indoor play gym phase, this is one of the Nashville area's more genuinely exciting outdoor activity options.
The 4.7 rating across 686 reviews is strong evidence that the experience delivers. High ropes courses require execution on safety, instruction quality, and course maintenance to function well — SOAR appears to have gotten all three right.
Critical planning note: SOAR operates weekend-only, Saturday and Sunday from 12-4pm. This is extremely limited availability — only 8 hours per week. Check soaradventure.com well in advance of your Nashville trip to verify current hours and book if required. Arriving at noon when the facility opens maximizes the available time window.
Wear closed-toe athletic shoes — sandals and flip-flops are not permitted. Height requirements apply to some elements; check the website for current restrictions.
Located at 3794 Carothers Pkwy in Franklin, about 30 minutes south of downtown Nashville. Franklin's historic downtown is nearby for pre- or post-activity dining in one of Nashville's best suburban restaurant scenes.

Why Kids Love It
SOAR Adventure Tower in Franklin puts kids on a multi-level ropes course with challenge elements at varying heights — the kind of physical achievement experience where each completed obstacle is a genuine personal win. The height element and the harness safety system create a controlled fear-and-accomplishment loop that kids and tweens find deeply satisfying. Miniature golf provides a lower-key activity for families with different challenge tolerances.
