MICHIGAN’s NEW FAMILY DESTINATION

Jacob’s High Flying Adventure is the name of the new ropes course located inside the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth. As part of the major expansion of the hotel, which included the construction of one of Michigan’s largest indoor waterparks, RCI Adventure Products installed a 3-level Sky Trail® ropes course in the fall of 2024. The course features a 90-foot curved Sky Rail® zip rail and has 3 adjacent Clip ‘n Climb climbing walls. The course is located between the new waterpark and the existing family entertainment center, which features mini-golf and arcades.

FEATURES OF THE BAVARIAN INN ADVENTURE ATTRACTIONS

DO I SEE A COW?: It’s a small touch, but it stands out. At the end of our Walk the Plank element, participants can ring the bell that’s on the collar of a custom-made cow head. This small addition fits in with the room’s general theme.

BIG INDOOR ROPES COURSE: The Bavarian Inn maximized their indoor footprint with the tallest indoor ropes course in Michigan, with 3-levels at 40-feet in height.

 

 

SEATING UNDERNEATH THE COURSE: With typical clearance of approximately 10-feet, there is plenty of room for additional attractions under the ropes course. Located next to a bar, the Bavarian Inn provided plenty of seating to sit and watch family members on the course.

DIFFERENT ATTRACTION, SAME EQUIPMENT: The benefit of adding Clip ‘n Climb climbing walls is that they utilize the same harness as the ropes course, meaning participants can move from one attraction to another quickly.
