Since owner Aziz Tejpar bought TreeUmph! Adventure Course in early 2025, the park has only continued to grow. The Bradenton destination has long been known for its ziplines and ropes courses, but it has recently expanded its walking trails and introduced a new mini-golf course and a gem-mining experience.
Sitting on over 15 acres of land, Tejpar knew the location had potential for expansion. “It had basically just the whole tree climbing and zip lining experience, but we’re on 15 acres of land, so there is a lot more potential to add to it,” he says, “The idea was, you’ve got the basis of something really good, and now we can put other things together.”
One of the newest additions to the park is a gem mining experience designed as an educational program for children to learn more about different minerals and stones. Guests purchase filled bags and can sift through them at the course’s water station. Tejpar explains, “As they work through their sifting in the water mines, they’ll end up with a bunch of minerals, and they can then see what they’ve found.”
Additionally, TreeUmph! launched an 18-hole mini golf course over Mother’s Day weekend. After three months of construction, the course now allows guests to spend an entire day in the park, instead of just spending a couple of hours tree climbing. As Tejpar says, “People who used to come in and spend three, three-and-a-half hours on the lines can now spend a few more hours playing mini golf or doing the mining.”
Tejpar’s main goal is to expand the possibilities of TreeUmph! and make it more accessible for families. To achieve this, TreeUmph! has been expanding its walking trails to accommodate family members who do not want to climb, allowing guests to enjoy the property’s scenery.
Looking forward, TreeUmph! will continue to expand with the addition of laser tag and evening events. Tejpar hopes TreeUmph! evolves into something larger over the next few years. “We want it to become a venue for more than just hanging in the trees,” he says.
