Skyline Climb

Are you ready for the challenge?

Ropes course over diner

Jump into the realm of adventure play at The Strong’s all-new high ropes course—Skyline Climb. Suspended above the museum’s carousel atrium, adults and kids alike can traverse beams and balance obstacles, maneuver ropes and wobbly bridges, and leap off a zipline platform.

Built by RCI Adventure Products, Skyline Climb consists of two courses geared towards different sizes and skill levels—Low-Rise for guests below 48 inches in height and High-Rise for guests 48 inches and above.

Skyline Climb requires tickets: $5 ($4 members) for Low-Rise and $7 ($6 members) for High-Rise. Last entry 4:15 p.m. Saturday to Thursday. Last entry 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
