Our highly trained staff provides an exceptional experience for the little ones to the adults who are still kids at heart.
LOOP NOLA offers a plethora of outdoor experiences. Our most popular option is to climb our thrilling high ropes course. Get suited up in our provided helmets and harnesses, stretch your legs, and get ready to “climb on”! Our private facility offers eight unique climbing experiences that will get your party-goers' adrenaline pumping and have them running back in line once their feet touch the ground. The high ropes course is challenging (and appropriate) for adults and kids alike, and each element offers a different challenge for the individual.
If you’re interested in incorporating some teambuilding and games into your party, our facilitators can guide your group through a series of games and low-rope elements that promote fun, group bonding, problem-solving, and making fond memories.
Interested in a more nature-focused outing? From nature hikes in the arboretum to learning how to build fires and shelters to paddling canoes and kayaks on the beautiful lagoons of City Park, we’re sure to have something to make your birthday a memorable one.
