Let’s be honest, your typical birthday party can get boring after a while. Pizza. Balloons. The same old games. But what if you could plan a party that gets people off their phones and into the trees? One where guests aren’t just sitting around, they’re climbing, laughing, and actually doing something together? That’s exactly what you get when you throw an adventure park birthday party at TreEscape in Vernon, NJ.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know, from choosing the right park to planning your big day at TreEscape Aerial Adventure Park in Vernon, NJ. Get ready to throw a birthday party that’s anything but ordinary.
How to choose the right adventure park for your birthday?

Every adventure park is different, so before you book, make sure you do some research. Some parks cater to adults and experienced climbers, while others are designed for kids and beginner climbers. So make sure the park you choose has options for your whole group.

Party add-ons for extra fun

We also offer a photo package to help you capture all the smiles, silly moments, and mid-air action. You can order extra goodie bags or t-shirts if you want to treat all your guests. If your group could use a little extra support, you can hire a private instructor to help guide your group throughout the day.
Tips for parents and hosts
If you’re planning a birthday party at TreEscape, here are a few tips to help everything go smoothly. First, try to book your spot as early as possible, especially if you’re planning for a weekend. TreEscape can get busy, and weekend time slots tend to fill up fast.
Let your guests know to arrive about 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled time. That gives everyone enough time to check in and go through the safety briefing without feeling rushed. Also, be sure to remind your group to dress for the weather and to wear closed-toe shoes. Flip-flops and sandals aren’t allowed on the course, so sneakers or hiking shoes are a must.
For birthday parties and group events, the process is a little different from regular bookings. Instead of using the standard reservation system, you’ll need to submit a request form on the Birthday Parties page. A team member will then follow up to help finalize your event details.

Safety and age guidelines
TreEscape does a great job of making safety a top priority. Kids aged 4–6 can climb in TreEscape’s designated Kids Park, which includes two beginner-level “Purple Courses” designed just for them. While these young climbers explore, an adult must supervise from nearby — either walking alongside or watching from the viewing area. Adults don’t need to purchase a ticket unless they plan to climb too.
Every participant goes through a safety briefing before climbing. All gear that climbers are provided with meets industry standards. TreEscape’s staff is trained in first aid and rescue procedures, meaning you can enjoy the day knowing your group is safe and in good hands.
