FAMILY FUN MINUTES FROM THE CBD
St Ives Showground soars to new heights! Families have a new experience explore along the southern border of Ku-ring-gai National Park. St Ives is our newest Tree Ropes Course Park, hosting 95+ aerial obstacles and 10+ ziplines, all suspended between platforms to create a maze of activities in the treetops. Courses start at 1m for little climbers and jump up to 15 metres for bigger adventurers!
A 2.5-hour session through the aerial challenges (including gearing up) will have you laughing along with the kookaburras. After safety, your adrenaline is our top priority, so our courses are designed to challenge you, no matter what level you’re at.
Course heights range from 1.5m high for Junior Courses, and 5-15m high for Tree Ropes Courses.

The guys we dealt with Tom & Kai had some of the best customer service I’ve encountered in long time. Really friendly & fun but still professional.
Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Kids loved it and asked when we can go back already.
Two courses for the juniors but there might be nothing junior about them.
If you're in reasonable shape you might be able to blitz the Green and Blue.
Great fun for the family.
Also there's a resting area for when you need to recover. And you can purchase drinks and icicles for the offspring :)
The 2 short junior (3 to 7yo) courses however were disappointing compared to other parks we have been to.
There is a huge difference in physical ability and agility between a 3yo and a 7yo and my daughter was quickly bored as there was no challenge completing the courses. There were also often little kids stuck and a lot of wait on platforms to help them go through.
I think the site is appropriate for younger children or 8+ who can access the other courses but not really catering for kids in between.
Staff was friendly and the experience was ok overall.
We were all told to call out ‘help’ if we needed help and we did that around 20-30 times at a well-above audible level, but nobody came to help.
The climb was quite fine before some inexperienced climbers and horrible staff ruined the experience. Also, before you feel empathetic for the slow climbers because they were new, this happened on the advanced course so they should’ve stocked to the easier courses, as it was their first time.
Finally, the VERY LEAST that the staff could do was patrol the climbing area, and they couldn’t even do that! As far as I could tell, they were just mucking about and not doing their job properly.
All the adults and different aged kids had fun.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Also, Sam, Rachel and Emily were very kind and patient in ensuring the kids have a fantastic time.
Thank you!!
Super safe, idiot proof security.
Suitable for adventurous 3 year olds.
A great way to spend 2 hours.
A number of times the staff went above and beyond to help in different situations. Can’t thank enough the two masters of professionalism and customer service.
A great day, will definitely come back!
Our first hand experience below:
1. Poor safety for the junior course. The start of the junior course is not attended for the whole time we're there hence nothing ensures the children will 100% thether in.
2. Poor safety again, where the glider can be used, there is nothing makes sure kids won't be crossing underneath. The low clearance means it's completely possible for a kid to get hit - unsafe for both the children crossing on foot and the children on the glider, see photo.
3. No trial course for the young ones. There are only two very short courses for the juniors and no trial. Once a child is stuck on one of them, 50% of the two is backed up and rendered useless. This is what happened when we were there. It took a long time for a staff to finally come and rescue the little guy.
4. Service - one of my kids were harnessed and brought to the course quickly. It took 5 minutes from our 11:30 session. The other one however was just "forgotten". My husband had to intervene and ask someone to demonstrate the course for him as he was left there for a long time after harnessed. He went on the course at 11:56 - 26 minutes after our session started.
4. Service - there is virtually no staff at the junior course. We saw a little guy peeing through his pants on the course, all over the boards. No one ever came to clean it up.
I would love a response from the team especially on the safety concerns and I will not recommend this to any one to use the junior course unless the safety concerns are fixed.
