A most intriguing aspect of the experience was the human animal interactions and behaviours. Kids in the zoo below with their mums and dads pointed out the dangers. Exclaiming what’s coming up! Excitedly followed and cheering groups onwards and upwards. Their exuberance bouyed our own spirits of adventure. The first few technicalities called elements, each course with approx 17 were leisurely accomplished. We find once employees are into the swing of things. They love the challenge. Enough to get you focused, energised and thrilled. But not too much of scary obstacles. Each challenge element was overcome with teamwork, support of peers and encouragement.

Highlights on the Wild Ropes Fun Challenge Taronga Zoo Course included the Pogo Sticks, Criss Cross and X marks the spot where you manoeuvre around the poles that bar your path.

The best fun on our team was The Sled, surfing the ropes on the Surfboard. Crossing the wombat and birds of prey pattern steps. We revelled in the trapeze elements, throwing ourselves a perfectly safe and picturesque platform overlooking Sydney Harbour.

With iconic Sydney views out to The Opera House, Botanic Gardens, Fort Denison, Mrs Macquaries Chair. We laughed at the spinning Jet Boats and waved to Ferry’s weaving up and down Port Jackson from Manly to Sydney’s Circular Quay.

It was bliss to escape the hub-bub of Sydney city and corporate pace stresses.

The time out staff sharing a fun adventure experience, creating memories is only a 12 minute Sydney Ferry ride from Macquarie, George, Kent, Argyle and Pitt Streets.

Puts this Wild Tree Tops adventure ropes course within easy reach of a 3 hour / 1/2 day must do Sydney corporate team building activity.

Thrill suggests combining Taronga Zoo Birds of Prey Bird Show and other animal interactions as a package for your delegates to be even more impressed.

The Wild Tree Tops Ropes Course facilitated Adventure Program  can include catering options, beverages and a range of snacks easily organised through Thrill events.

For the less active or mobile watching the human interactions in a stunning wildlife environment was the biggest pleasure. As those that stay grounded can support their super person and spider monkey colleagues climbing through the tree tops, in a civilised manner!

Extra features at the Thrill Taronga Zoo tree tops adventure was integrating selfie technology with real time real life photos where you can be calm, casual or show the whites of your eyes as you hit the button.

A green screen photographic studio to can create special effects and bring out the beast in your alpha male blokes team.

Our verdict; a terrific fun adventure experience that brings the childlike fun qualities of our existence with iconic and world famous Sydney views.

Accomplish a great achievement with a rewarding yet mildly invigorating climb. So what are you waiting for? You belong in the ZOO!

This – Spring into action; for your next Sydney connection team event.
