Green Challenge

Prepare yourself for the all-new Green Challenge

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary's all-new, exhilarating treetops ropes course - the Green Challenge Adventure Parc - is bigger and even more exciting than ever before.
The Green Challenge Adventure Parc is the newest nature-based adventure experience for the Gold Coast.
Sixty-five challenges, over four separate courses, weave their way through the eucalypt and rainforest canopy, taking visitors higher and further into the spectacular natural setting.
The Green Challenge is based on the Adventure Parc concept, which takes elements of SAS commando training delivered as safe, fun and exciting treetops ropes courses for children and adults.

The new Currumbin courses are like no other - surrounded by native wildlife, combined with world-class wildlife displays and shows located just a short walk from one of Australia's best beaches.

The four courses include two beginners' courses, one intermediate course and an advanced course designed to offer the ultimate challenge for participants.
With high Tarzan swings and a giant flying fox, the Green Challenge Adventure Parc will test the agility and daring of anyone who takes on the course.
Each of the Green Challenge Adventure Parc courses has been designed for children and adults alike for family fun, fitness and team building (children must reach 160cm from heels to outstretched fingers to enter the Green Challenge and 180 cm for the advanced, Black Course).

All necessary equipment and a safety briefing are provided for each participant, ensuring a safe, fun and exhilarating experience.
To enjoy the new Green Challenge Adventure Parc attraction, visitors can purchase A 2 Park Adventure Pass - a two attraction pass for entry to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary plus the Green Challenge Adventure Parc with a bonus day free entry to be used within 14 days.
