Keep in mind: While you can show up unannounce­d, it’s best to book in advance. The three-hour adventure course costs $45 for adults, $41 for youth (ages 12-15) and $36 for children (ages 9-11.) The two-hour zipline tour costs $45 for adults and $41 for youth. Children under 9 are barred from the adventure course, while children under 12 aren’t allowed on the zip-line tour. There are simpler courses on-site for children as young as 3 and there is a fully accessible zip line. For more informatio­n, or to book, visit parks.on.ca/attraction­s/skywoodeco-adventure-park. There is no food on site. Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes. When to go: Skywood Eco Adventure is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine, from mid-March to early November. Getting there: The park is 325 kilometres east of Toronto in Mallorytow­n, abutting the Thousand Islands. The drive mostly follows Highway 401. The park would make a great stop while visiting Kingston or the Thousand Islands. It’s also a good place to break up the long drive from Toronto to Montreal. You’ll need a car to get here. Where to stay: There are several waterfront campground­s in Mallorytow­n. Visit mallorytow­n.ca for more details. Fifteen kilometres to the east, Brockville sports multiple hotels, motels and inns. There are also numerous accommodat­ion options in Kingston, 70 kilometres to the west.
