If you think adventure in Manhattan, Kansas, happens only in Downtown Manhattan, or at the K-State Games, you haven’t yet felt your heart race as you zip through the treetops and savor the panoramic views of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Wildwood Adventure Park is one of the most unforgettable outdoor experiences in the Little Apple. Nestled on 80 acres of rolling Flint Hills terrain, Wildwood is a hidden gem adventure park where outdoor fun and adrenaline meet community and nature on striking trails waiting to be explored.
From the moment you arrive at Wildwood Adventure Park, you’re stepping into an outdoor playground that’s all about elevating your Kansas experience. This action-packed experience features a 7-zipline aerial trek soaring through the trees, culminating in a 40-foot free fall jump that’s as exhilarating as it sounds. With zip lines ranging from short bursts of speed to a 1,400-foot flight across the Flint Hills, this adventure is a perfect blend of heart-pounding fun and scenic beauty.
Visitors rave about this ziplining and say it is a must-do for families, friends, corporate team outings, and anyone who wants to trade the ground for sky. The friendly and safety-conscious guides at Wildwood Adventure Park lead you through each segment, making the course a rewarding experience for both first-timers and seasoned thrill-seekers.
Wildwood Adventure Park also offers seasonal events like a 2-mile obstacle trail run featuring 20+ fun and challenging elements to conquer. Whether you’re navigating rope climbs or monkey bars, this trail run adds an extra layer of fitness, teamwork, and outdoor excitement to your visit.
Planning your visit to Wildwood Adventure Park is key. The park operates from spring through December for its zipline courses and is always weather-dependent! If you or your group is looking for a more specific experience, those are available by reservation to ensure every group gets the personalized attention you are looking for. It’s wise to call them, share what you are looking for, and most importantly, book ahead. Experiences sell out during peak season, so make sure you are planning ahead.
One of the things that makes Wildwood truly special is how it captures the essence of the Flint Hills. Whether you’re a local in the Little Apple or a visitor to our area, Wildwood Adventure Park is the kind of experience that you will always remember!
