The Forge Adventure Park & Ziplines 227 Heritage Quarries Dr, Lemont, IL 60439

"Incredible ropes course & rock climbing. There are a ton of great features and enough variety to have you busy all day. Different "hexes" and towers for different skill levels as well. For an extra challenge, the ropes course ABOVE the zipline platform is exhilarating, but not for the faint of heart. The crows nest up top is the tallest feature here, and the climb down is terrifying. We were the only ones to try it the entire day because of the height. It's simply awesome. We plan to come back for the mtn bike downhill trails and pump track. The only reason I'm not rating 5 stars is because a bunch of the courses are constantly closed. One stand alone giant tower (near the mtn biking) and a hex course are reserved only for corporate guests (I've never seen them in use), and the backside and top section of the main rock climbing tower (near check in) have been closed off every time I've come here! There's plenty of staff standing around who could easily open these areas to reduce crowding, and reduce the very very long wait time to zipline (we waited 70 minutes on a Sat)."

"This was a good place to go. I enjoyed the time I went was early on sat. I did not know the area so there was the parked in lot 1 but there is a closer lot. Then check in was easy. I had reservations and it went smoothly. Staff here is fantastic very helpful and friendly. The signs are a lil confusing. We did end up finding everything but it took a little while and I had to have somebody help me. We enjoyed the lazer tag, archery, axe throwing, Dino bike, paddle boats l, they even had nice bathrooms. The scavenger hunt looked fun but we did not manage to do that."

"10/10 recommend!! I went with my wife and had a blast the staff was really nice and helpful! The obstacle course was a blast and physically challenging in the best way. It can be fun and easy or fun and hard depending on which course you choose to engage in. Laser tag was a definite hit and almost as fun as the climb! I definitely recommend buying a water pouch with a clip instead of bringing one unless yours has a clipping mechanism. Also side note for the adult groups like mine you can not drink until you finish ALL activities. The lady at the concession stand literally cut the activity bands from my arm when I ordered a beverage but honestly you don’t need it because this place is just good fun! Definitely wear comfortable clothing and shoes and a hat proved really useful for me. If you’re considering this as a day trip DO IT!"

"Such a an amazing venue. My five year old and us loved it. They staff are amazing, patient with us in experienced outdoor adventure seekers and spent the time to teach us how it do things at the park. It was such a fun family day and hope to be back soon. I would highly recommend going and doing an all day explorer pass."
