Take a ‘Stay-cation’ at the First Zipline Course in Illinois

By Briahnna Brown, McKenzie Marshall

Zipline

Summer has officially begun and now many families are trying to decide where they can take their family for a vacation while also staying on a budget.

Beach resorts can be very costly, but why travel so far? Go Ape Treetop course is what some would categorize as a “stay-cation,” located only 30 minutes outside of Chicago in Bemis Woods, you can take the family on an adventure in the woods for two to three hours.

Yes, this might not be the vacation you had in mind, however, this can be just as much of a rewarding experience for you and the family as if you had traveled to a destination resort. You are able to explore the forest canopy, fly on zip lines between each platform, swing through the trees, and observe the peace and quiet surroundings away from the city.
