Glow Nights in May brings a completely different atmosphere to TreeTrails Adventures Mystic, turning the aerial adventure park into a glowing nighttime playground every Friday evening throughout May. Running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the experience transforms the wooded climbing courses into a colorful mix of lights, music, and movement as the sun goes down over Mystic. Instead of the usual daytime ropes-course vibe, the park takes on the feeling of an outdoor nighttime festival tucked into the trees.
Glow Nights in May mixes adventure with a party-like atmosphere, complete with glow bracelets, glowing necklaces, music, and illuminated climbing trails suspended high above the forest floor. Guests can move through rope bridges, zip lines, and aerial obstacles while surrounded by shifting lights that make the entire park feel almost dreamlike after dark. The experience leans heavily into the fun of summer nights arriving early, blending adrenaline and playful energy in a way that feels especially geared toward groups of friends, couples, teens, and adventurous families looking for something different to do on a Friday night.
The event has become one of TreeTrails’ most popular seasonal experiences, especially as warmer weather returns to the Connecticut shoreline region. Reservations are strongly recommended because Glow in the Park nights tend to fill quickly once people start sharing videos and photos online. Between the music drifting through the trees, the glowing equipment, and the excitement of climbing through the forest at night, the event delivers the kind of memorable outdoor experience that feels closer to an adventure attraction than a traditional ropes course.

Armed Forces Day at TreeTrails Adventures celebrates military service with a special Memorial Day weekend promotion designed to get families and friends outdoors for climbing, ziplining, and aerial adventure courses at TreeTrails Adventures. Running May 23 through 25, the event invites active and retired military members to enjoy the park’s treetop obstacle courses with a buy-one-get-one climbing offer aimed at turning the holiday weekend into a shared outdoor experience.
As part of the Armed Forces Day promotion, military guests can climb free with the purchase of a companion ticket by using the promo code “AmericaStrong” during online checkout. The offer encourages participants to bring family members, friends, or fellow service members along for a day of rope bridges, zip lines, elevated trails, and outdoor challenges set high above the forest floor. Guests are reminded to bring valid military identification when checking in at the park.
What makes the event stand out is its focus on shared experience rather than ceremony. Instead of a formal observance, TreeTrails leans into adventure, teamwork, and spending meaningful time outdoors together during one of the busiest kickoff weekends of the summer season. Between the climbing courses, wooded setting, and family-friendly atmosphere, the event creates a different kind of Memorial Day weekend activity built around movement, laughter, and appreciation for military service.
