Wizarding World at TreeRunner is a themed nighttime ropes course event where participants climb through the trees decorated with magical decor. The park transforms its aerial trails with special lighting and music inspired by classic wizard stories, allowing climbers to navigate the obstacles under the stars. Before you book, keep in mind that tickets are thirty-five dollars per person and reservations should be made online in advance to secure a harness. The course is best suited for children ages seven and up who meet the height requirements for the independent trails. Wear closed-toe athletic shoes, bring well-fitting gardening gloves if you have them to prevent blisters, and park in the main gravel lot on-site. This event makes a great weekend outing because it combines physical activity with a theme that keeps older kids motivated. It is a screen-free way to spend a Friday night outdoors, offering just enough challenge to keep preteens focused and active.
While children as young as four can use the junior trails during the day, the night climb is best for kids ages seven and older who can safely navigate the elevated obstacles in the dark.
Where do we park and is there a fee?
Parking is free and located in the gravel lot directly at the TreeRunner Raleigh facility on Norwood Road.
