About
TimberTop Adventures is one of Canada’s largest treetop aerial adventure parks and is located in beautiful Dominion Park, only 10 minutes from Uptown Saint John. Our park, nestled in a breathtaking, old-growth forest next to the sandy shores of Dominion Park beach, features 12 courses, with over 115 obstacles including over 29 zip line challenges. Our courses range from beginner all the way up to one of North America’s most challenging triple black diamonds, and everything in between. We offer something for nearly everyone from ages 5 to 85! Our use of the latest in continuous lifeline technology, full body harnesses and helmets as well as being built to the tougher European standards, also makes us one of North America’s safest.

This place is absolutely amazing! Try to reserve a space in the morning. Trust me, you will want to spend the whole day after. The staff couldn't be any friendlier. The trainer and co-owner LeRoy is such a great guy! The park really makes you feel very secure. We were never afraid of falling. The harnesses and cables are top notch. We had a great time jumping from tree to tree. But zip lining is only 30% of the fun. You have to try crossing over a 1 cm wire 10 m above the floor with obstacles in the middle! My favorite courses were 3 diamonds and blue+. A recommendation. Bring plenty of water and some foods. You can leave your bags by the beginning of the course and pick them up after. They will be safe. It will be very hard to visit all courses in 1 visit. This is definitely a park you will want to visit multiple times

Great time spent 7 hours non-stop on courses, but we were trying to do them all. Great outdoor physical activity. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a brief tutorial before you start. They use an interlocking system for the harness, so you are always locked on to a cable on the courses.

The staff!! Of course the incredibly thought out courses. Did you know you can book a personal experienced climber as a guide for a reasonable fee? This enriched our experience. The setting is a stone through away from a beach. I suggest pack a lunch and immerse yourself in this remarkable location. This is a must do this summer.

Greeted by knowledgable and friendly staff, training and safety instruction is given by experienced staff. We were social distanced at all times. Site is spectacular as well as very clean. Very well organized. All and all a great day.

Very welcoming and helpful staff.
The courses are spread out around the woods so you're free to wander around, and to pick and choose which courses you want to do in whichever order.
The easy courses are a good introduction for using the gear, the medium courses are challenging but fair, and the harder courses will test your balance, skill, and technique in ways that never feel unfair.
Hardly any wait times, and you can always choose to go to a other course if it's backed up.
Will go again.

Great experience! Good fun for the whole family! The staff are very helpful and friendly! They are very quick to help or give advice on which tracks suit your needs. They are genuine in their passion for climbing. It’s a great experience for children. Would recommend taking the time to explore this beautiful area! Looking forward to our next visit,

Timber Top is a great activity/experience for the whole family. Whether you walk the course on the ground encouraging your family/friends or take to the trees, you’ll have a great day!
The staff is great! They are helpful, enthusiastic, and really seem to enjoy their job. The preparation they do in getting everyone’s gear on and running through the training course is reassuring. This activity is SAFE!
COVID has shortened the season. To allow for proper social distancing, fewer participants are allowed on the course at once. Masks must be worn when getting gear on and training. But after that, you are allowed to take your mask off until you get help removing your gear.
We love it so much, we got seasonal passes for the kids.

This past weekend was our 2nd time to Timber Top & it certainly will not be the last. We love coming here vs other treetop adventures in NB as there is much more to do & more fun to have! The manager is hands on (in all the right ways) involved with guests (he helped my little guy make his first jump from the flying squirrel when he froze but really wanted to do it) & his staff on a personal level that is refreshing to see from a manager! It helped make the experience even better in my opinion as you feel they care about everyone & you aren’t just another guest. Will definitely keep coming back!

If you are looking for a fun way to spend time with friends, family or colleagues or even looking for a solo adventure - this is the activity for you! The park is set up like a ski hill with 11 courses (of different skill levels) for you to pick and choose from. You don't have to wait in lines, because you can choose which courses to do when. The staff here is phenomenal - they are very friendly, supportive and always around! The TimberTop team truly values the safety of their customers & staff, and have updated procedures and regulations as needed with everything COVID-19 related. Even with all of this going on, I felt 100% safe throughout my GoWild adventure.
I highly recommend this Saint John attraction!

Is this something we can get to easily from the cruise port?
Written January 15, 2023
Thanks for the question. Assuming taxis are readily available, we are only a 15 minute ride from the cruise terminal. Usually it’s easier to find a taxi at the terminal because many are gathered there on cruise day so ideally you’d just need to arrange for the return ride in advance with the driver or the taxi company. It would be important to do this as demand for taxis on call during cruise days does go up substantially from what we’ve heard.
Written June 15, 2023
Thanks for the great question. Here’s what we tell customers to make sure to bring:
1. Pre-Signed Waivers
At TimberTop, everyone under the age of 19 must have a parent/guardian sign the waiver online in order to soar and climb. It’s a great idea to get your waivers done in advance but there are also iPads here at the office to do them onsite if you forget or don’t have time in advance.
2. A Government-Issued Photo ID
When you arrive, you exchange your ID for the safety equipment your group needs, and when you return the gear at the end of an exciting visit, your ID is returned. At least one person in your group should bring one.
3. Full Coverage Footwear
This ensures that your shoes don’t fly off and hit someone down below while you’re up in the courses.
4. Gloves
These are mandatory; we recommend work or fingerless athletic gloves. If you don’t have your own, we sell them for $3.50 for youth and adults, or $2 for children.
5. Arrive 30 Minutes Early
Maybe someone will need to use the facilities, or have a quick snack, get harnessed, or do a quick outfit change. Regardless of the delay, we want to make sure that you’re 100% ready to go, and on time. Arriving early makes this all possible.
6. Ready to have lots of fun in the forest!
