FAQ
What’s an Aerial Adventure Park?
CBAA contains platforms that range from 12 feet to 40 feet high. There are 7 courses at the park. Each course contains 7 to 8 obstacles to work through and enjoy. The obstacles are designed around a maritime theme using ropes, cables, wood, barrels, stir-ups, cargo nets and more. Each of the courses include a mini zip, with some bringing you back to the main tower. The higher up the central tower you go, the more difficult the obstacles become.The easiest of the courses begin with our 3 green level trails. These are appropriate for all participants and levels of ability. Next there are 3 intermediate trails that increase in height and difficulty (age/chaperone restrictions). The pinnacle is the red course, the ultimate test of will and stamina. Have no fear, climbers will be in a harness and attached to a safety device while completing each obstacle, at all times. Typically climbers will complete 3-4 courses (21-28 obstacles) during the 2 hour climb. Guides provide supervision and assistance as needed. CBAA is the only Aerial Adventure Park in the beach area located conveniently on N. A1A 6419 N.Atlantic Ave 32920
How safe is the Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventure Park?
At CBAA, we use only the highest quality safety equipment. We use a smart belay system; this means that once you are clipped into the system, it is designed to not unclip until you are at the end of the course. The course has been designed and built by ACCT vendor Challenge Design Innovations and is inspected by a licensed ACCT inspector annually. ACCT is the governing organization overlooking the safety and well being of Aerial Adventure Parks, Ziplines, Challenge Courses and Towers throughout the U.S. Aerial Adventure Parks are obstacle courses, so there are lots of materials used such as wood, ropes, cables and plastic. Some materials are more forgiving than others. Scrapes and bruises may occur while on the course.
What is the time duration of the admission ticket?
2 hours of climbing on the course. It is best to fill out the waiver online before you arrive at CBAA. Upon arrival all valuables, including cell phone, wallets, cameras, etc. must be locked securely in your vehicle; loose items are NOT permitted on the tower. Feel free to bring your water bottle (or we sell water also). Car keys can be left at the front desk in our key-check. At the time of check-in you will be suited in a harness, helmet, and gloves (upon request) then taken to a ground school “rules and safety training” (takes 10-15 minutes). Please arrive before your scheduled reservation time. For example if your reservation is at 10 a.m., arrive by 9:45 a.m.

Are reservations required?
We strongly suggest reservations during peak visitation months (March, April, July, Thanksgiving, Christmas). Walk-ins are a first come first serve basis. However, reservations have priority.
Do I need to be in good shape?
The courses are designed to be a challenge mentally and physically. Although the courses vary in difficulty levels, those who exercise regularly and are in good physical and mental condition are more likely to enjoy the challenge-course experience. Upper body strength is recommended. The courses are rated by the colors green, yellow, and red. The green courses are going to be for newbies, children, and those scared of heights. Once you get comfortable and accustomed to the course, climbers may want to try a more challenging course such as yellow and red. There are always adventure guides available to assist, but they are not there to lead climbers through the course.
What do I wear?
We recommend wearing clothing that will be comfortable under a harness. Shorts that come down to at least mid thigh will be the most comfortable. We require closed-toe athletic shoes. Long hair must be pulled back to a low ponytail. Necklaces and jewelry are not recommended on the course. Its best to apply sunblock prior to putting on your harness. Sunblock is available for purchase at CBAA if needed.
