Treetop Play
introduces a groundbreaking concept of play, guiding children and their parents on a journey through the eyes of a bird. You can immerse yourself in the cozy embrace of nests, feeling safe and secure in the playful cocoons. Discovering the joy of play, you learn to interact with sand, as if you are hatching and exploring this environment for the first time. Additionally, there is ample free space for children to run and play, allowing them to scuttle around and uncover all the fun features this place has to offer.
Flying Path
The signature flying path at Treetop Play offers visitors a remarkable opportunity to engage in an immersive and exciting experience reminiscent of birds in flight. The path replicates the flying pattern of birds leaving the ground, moving in between the trees, observing nature all around and experiencing height. It creates a sense of awe and wonder, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of birdlife in a truly immersive way. Not only it offers a beautiful walk among the trees but also serves as a playful feature in itself, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the experience.
Eighty percent of the flying path is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all users. Towards the end, a small part of the path develops a more adventurous character, moving up and down between the trees and featuring playful openings, leading to new worlds to be explored
