Marked Ultimate Adventure Park

Today’s post was written by 11 year old Juliette!

On July 17 we entered stage 3 of reopening. It can be pretty difficult to find activities to do with your kids during these weird times. So we’re here to give you ideas!

This weekend my family and I got the chance to visit MARKED Ultimate Family Adventure Park. We were pumped to go because we figured it  would be a great way to get some exercise since we’ve been stuck inside for so long…plus, it's outside! Here's how it went…

Where is it

Marked is located on Highway 7 just past Carleton Place.

Cost

The obstacle course costs $10 for kids aged 7-14 and $15 for adults. They also have a season’s pass for the obstacle course for $200 if you want to keep coming back and mastering all the obstacles.

In non-Covid times they have day passes that give you access to many of their activities for $45 - $250 depending on age or for a whole family.

Covid-19 safety

The obstacle course was entirely outside and once we started the activity we never came close to any other people, making it feel very safe. At registration my mother wore a mask when she went inside, there were clear lanes to keep people organized, and staff remained behind a plexiglass shield. Waivers were all signed electronically before we arrived.

What I liked

What  I liked about Marked were all the fun obstacles. The hardest thing was the Bowser’s castle. It was where you had to climb stairs backwards with your arms and then swing onto a ring and climb another backward set of stairs. It was soooo hard! No one in my family could do it but we laughed a lot.

One of my favourite obstacles was the rope climb. It was a diagonal wall with a rope attached at the top. You had to grab the rope and walk up the wall while pulling yourself along - it was super fun! There were even walls to climb over! Some were small and some were big. 

Check out this video we made for Tiktok from our day out.

Forest trail

At the end of the obstacle course there's a beautiful trail you can walk down with some obstacles along the way. We went down it and had lots of fun, but it's a very long walk (5-6 KMs) so make sure you're up for it. Some of my favourite obstacles on the trail were the barrels, the log carry, the seesaw, and the tires. The barrels are two barrels that you have to go through on your stomach. The log carry is near the end and it's where you have to pick up one of the logs at the start and carry it around a small track. The seesaw and tires are a seesaw that you have to walk across then you have to walk through tires and walk across another seesaw.

WATER!

Make sure to bring LOTS of water cause it can get really hot out there!

                                       Stay hydrated!

Other activities at Marked!

There are plenty other activities you can do at marked other than the obstacle course, like:

- Paintball

-Airsoft

-axe throwing

-batting cage

-laser combat

 And plenty other things to do!

This is an incredible place that’s super fun for the older kids (7 and up) and is even fun for the adults. I look forward to going back!
