Sky Tykes® is a low-level adventure ropes course designed specifically for younger children aged 2–7, giving operators a way to engage siblings who would otherwise be excluded from high ropes activities.
By creating a safe, guided introduction to adventure play, it helps increase family dwell time, improves overall visitor experience, and supports higher secondary spend in family-focused attractions.
It can be installed indoors or outdoors and scaled to suit available space and operational requirements.
Sky Tykes is a mini version of our famous free roaming high ropes courses. These low ropes courses are designed for children below 1.2 metres in height, typically between the ages of two and seven.
Designed for Supervised Parent-Child Participation
One of the key features of Sky Tykes® is that parents or guardians can walk alongside their child throughout the course, providing reassurance and support while maintaining full engagement in the activity.
This approach helps reduce operator staffing pressure while increasing confidence for children as they move through the course, particularly in mixed-age family groups.
Flexible Design for Underused Spaces
Sky Tykes® is designed to work in a wide range of environments, including indoor play centres, outdoor attractions, leisure parks, zoos, and holiday parks/resorts.
Its compact footprint allows operators to use previously underused areas and convert low-value space into a structured, revenue-generating family activity.
The system can also be configured and scaled depending on available space, making it suitable for both new builds and retrofit installations.
Configurable Layouts and Throughput Potential
Sky Tykes® is available in multiple configurations, allowing operators to match the installation to their available footprint and expected visitor flow.
Each layout is designed to support continuous participation and efficient turnover, helping maximise capacity during peak family periods such as weekends and school holidays.
7 Pole Sky Tykes with Sky Rail Zip – 11 adventure elements – 15 person capacity
9 Pole Sky Tykes with Sky Rail Zip – 15 adventure elements – 20 person capacity
Installed Across Leading Leisure and Attraction Operators
Installed across a wide range of established leisure and visitor destinations, Sky Tykes® is used by operators managing high footfall family environments.
Current installations include leading organisations such as Center Parcs, Haven Holiday Resorts and Chester Zoo, demonstrating its suitability for both national and regional leisure operators.
Its flexibility makes it a strong fit for attractions looking to enhance family engagement and improve the experience for younger visitors within broader activity offerings.
Engineered for Professional Installation and Compliance
Every Sky Tykes® installation is supported with professional installation, operator training, and ongoing safety guidance to ensure full compliance with industry standards. In the UK each Sky Tykes ropes course is also fully LEAPS tested and comes with a document of compliance supplied as standard.
The system is designed for reliable daily operation in high-footfall environments, with clear procedures to support safe and consistent use.

If you don’t think the Sky Tykes course is the right ropes course for you then take a look at our Sky Trail options.
One of the things we have seen is a huge increase in our NPS results since the investment of the Aerial Max & Mini Aerial courses, so not only are we seeing a huge uptake in terms of our revenue in our sales on park, but we are also seeing a much better and improved satisfaction rate from our guest and our owners.
If you’re a business that’s looking at trying something different, looking to expand, certainly in terms of the high ropes courses, I would recommend Innovative Leisure.
