Indoor & outdoor ropes courses for bowling centers
The modern bowling center is doing more to round out its attractions to appeal to a larger segment of potential customers. While bowling still anchors these facilities, additional attractions like arcades, mini-golf, go-karts and laser tag commonly compliment it. Increasingly, RCI Adventure Products is working with bowling centers across the world, designing and installing custom indoor and outdoor ropes courses for their facility. For buildings with limited ceiling heights, we offer a one-level ropes course. With a floor clearance of approximately 9 feet, our courses can be built over top of other attractions or areas like the arcade or food court. This allows bowling centers to take full advantage of their footprint, maximizing square foot.
Custom-designed ropes courses
One of the most often asked questions we get is “can you fit a ropes course into my building?” While we wish the answer was always “of course,” many people are surprised to learn that we often can fit a ropes course into their facility. A one-level course requires a ceiling height of approximately 20-feet. Our team of designers will layout a course tailor-fit to your footprint.
Our zipline attraction, the Sky Rail®, is available in a variety of configurations including a 180-degree bend. This allows our customers to add a zipline to their course, even in a more confined space.
Climbing walls for bowling centers
The old, slate gray climbing walls traditionally associated with indoor climbing have been upgraded! Those walls tended to appeal to a smaller segment and were often designed to challenge seasoned climbers. Clip ‘N Climb® has made the world of climbing more accessible and fun. Clip ‘N Climb walls come in a wide variety of themes, each with vibrant colors and designs. Visually they immediately standout and create a “wow” moment for your customers upon entering your building. Beyond aesthetic appeal, Clip ‘N Climb climbing walls are designed for a wide variety of experience levels, from easy to difficult. Each climbing wall is approximately 6-feet wide and can vary in height, depending on facility, from 21-33 feet. Because of their narrow design, you and line up a long row of walls, each with a different theme and difficulty level. Clip ‘N Climb utilizes the TRUBLUE auto belay system, the most-trusted and tested climbing equipment in the industry.
