About this tour
Trade the usual Santa Barbara scenery for a canopy-level challenge at a high ropes course set among an old-growth oak grove. This Santa Barbara High Ropes Adventure Course offers up to two hours of climbing, balancing, and testing your nerve above the ground.
Explore more than 80 elements across two levels, with obstacles reaching up to 60 feet high. Pick from four routes that range from easy to very difficult, so you can choose a challenge that suits your comfort and ability. Park staff fit your harness and helmet, explain how the course works, and offer guidance along the way. Check in at Basecamp to sign your waiver before getting started.
Participants must be at least 48 inches tall, weigh no more than 275 pounds, and have a moderate level of fitness. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. Children who cannot reach 70 inches overhead need an adult on the course, with an additional ticket. The course is not wheelchair accessible, though the viewing area and surrounding walkways are ADA compliant. Book your Santa Barbara High Ropes Adventure Course and take on the route that calls to you.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Barbara
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 8% in Santa Barbara means it ranks in the top 8% of tours in Santa Barbara by this score.
