Think of this as "Tom Sawyer's Island" for bigger kids. This faux campground offers zip lines, cargo nets, forts and suspension bridges for exploration. Join Russell from Up and become a Wilderness Explorer by completing some of the challenges on the trail. Note that some challenges might have a height requirement.

The height requirement listed here is misleading. Kids of any size can enter but are restricted from some of the activities, such as the zip line. I find this a relaxing place and my kids LOVE this section of the park. They literally could spend all day here. - Kevin Crossman

Huge play area, but without actually very much to do. All this space, and just two slides? - Mostly Anonymous

I love this attraction. It's so fun to do all the stuff in it and it's a good way to spend 30 minutes of your times. - Reggie Templeton

Pretty fun for the entire family. Very similar to Tom Sawyer's Island - Anthony Murphy

This area is one of my favorites in the park. It's like a breath of fresh air, because small as it is, we can pretend we're out in the wilds in one of the California National Parks. My little one likes to check out the animal tracks, and visit the "Brother Bear" magic cave, he also loves watching the "Brother Bear Totem Ceremony" and hugging the big bears. Tip: Little toddlers love to splash in the stepping stones puddle outside the "Brother Bear" magic cave in the summer. It's a blast for them, but be sure to bring waterproof shoes, and a change of clothing. I saw a little one get totally soaked after "falling/sitting" into the puddle again and again. - Frances K
