★★★★★Cait OsierGreat place to experience something new. Staff is AMAZING, made sure we all knew what was going on and everyone was safe. If you are looking for a good afternoon activity definitely recommend trying this out!
★★★★★Kore Lee HoehnThe course will challenge you whether tackling lows ropes initatives or high ropes challenge elements. Awesome instructors create engaging environments for individual and team growth.
★★★★★Veronica MThis is definitely a five star experience in Dubuque! We recently took our two grandsons to the Four Mounds Ropes Course. They’re 11 and 8. My goal was to get them outside, away from screens and peers where they could experience some exercise and a lesson in trust; in both in themselves and others. Our instructor, Jordan, was great. He personalized the two hour session to get the most out of it. There were some rope courses that I thought for sure our grandkids would not have the courage, strength or trust to accomplish, but they surprised not only us, but more importantly, themselves. They were thrilled they were able to overcome their doubts and fears to find the confidence and courage to accomplish what they did. It was money well spent, and lessons we, as their grandparents, feel they will carry with them for a very long time.
★★★★Kayla FuchsDon’t quite know how I feel about this place yet I will find out soon because I don’t know how well they will do with the kids that have issues with their legs and feet that having problems with the strength in their legs My Son does not have very good strength in his legs and his feet due to giving birth to him. Hopefully they can accommodate him and make him feel good about going, but we will see. I will be back to do another rating again. Hopefully I will give you five stars. Update my Son went and he said that they did everything that way it was easier for him with his leg and his feet conditions so he had a blast and I was happy to hear that. Thank you.
★★★★★IkeAn AnimateI am terrified of heights but this was a great experience nonetheless. I went on a lot of the low ropes course and the climbing wall, and it really helps my fear as the staff is so supportive and helpful. Jordan and Kor-Lee were especially kind with letting me take my time and being understanding with me.
