Planning a trip to Leavenworth Adventure Park? We’ve got you covered with insider tips to help you make the most of your day. Whether you're seeking thrills or family-friendly activities, here's how to make the most of your visit.

Start with the Tumwater Twister Alpine Coaster™
Begin your adventure with Washington's first and only Alpine Coaster™—the Tumwater Twister. This exhilarating ride takes you on a 2,700-foot track featuring three helix circles, drops, and curves, all while offering breathtaking views of Tumwater Canyon and Icicle Ridge. You control your speed, making it suitable for both thrill-seekers and those who prefer a leisurely ride.
Insider Tip: Reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekends. Each rider needs a ticket, and waivers must be signed electronically before arrival. Reserving your tickets online is easy peasy and the best way to plan ahead!

Challenge Yourself on the Alpine Ascent Climbing Wall
After the coaster, test your climbing skills on the 27-foot Alpine Ascent Climbing Wall. With four lanes and two routes per lane, climbers can choose from ‘Easy’ to ‘Most Challenging’ routes. The wall features an auto belay system for safety, making it accessible for climbers aged 3 and up, provided they are at least 30” tall and weigh between 22 and 309 lbs.
Insider Tip: Each ticket includes two climbing attempts. Closed-toe shoes are required, and it's best to wear comfortable clothing suitable for climbing.

Discover Treasures at the Gems of the Enchantments Mining Sluice
For a more relaxed activity, visit the Gems of the Enchantments Mining Sluice. Purchase a bag of mining rough at the Guest Services Center and pan for over 15 real gemstones. Each bag comes with a colorful identification card detailing the names, photos, and origins of the gemstones, making it both fun and educational for all ages.
Insider Tip: Take a seat in one of our adirondack chairs and watch the action live of all three attractions!
