That's an improvement from there 2025 ranking at #6 and their 2024 ranking at the #7 spot.

We are proud to have designed and built the park.

But the Flying Rabbit team deserves the spotlight.

They are the ones creating the guest experience every day.

They help people clip in.

They coach nervous climbers.

They keep groups moving.

They turn a course into a place people remember.

That is the real work.

And they are doing it well.

Congratulations to Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures

Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures earned the #6 spot.

They have been in the top 10 every year since 2019!

This park has become a favorite for families, groups, locals, and visitors looking for something active and memorable in Cocoa Beach.

And in a place with a lot of things to do, that matters.

Guests have options.

So when they keep choosing your park, and voting for it, that says something.

We are proud to have built the course.

But Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures earned this recognition by delivering a strong guest experience again and again.

The Client Is the Real Story

Challenge Design designed and built these parks.

And yes, we are proud of that.

But our clients are the story here.

A course does not come alive on its own.

The operator brings it to life.

The owner’s vision matters.

The manager’s systems matter.

The guide’s tone matters.

The way staff treat nervous guests matters.

The way the park is cared for matters.

Flying Rabbit Adventures and Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures are earning recognition because their teams are doing the day-to-day work well.

That deserves to be celebrated.

A Note for Future Park Owners

If you are thinking about building an aerial adventure park, this is the lesson.

Do not just think about obstacles.

Think about the full experience.

Who is the park for?

How will guests move through it?

How will staff supervise it?

Will it work on a busy Saturday?

Can it grow over time?

A good course should be exciting.

But it also has to be practical, smooth to operate, and built for real people.

That is where good design matters most.
