eXplore Brown County

We did a tour for our first anniversary and had a blast. Ours started around 10am and we were the only ones! The guides said later tours had more guests. When we first arrived we were a little confused by the layout, but once we found the correct check-in cabin (to the left) we were taken care of by the staff. We were ziplining for about 90 minutes. It was the perfect amount of adventure and feeling safe. The lines were longer than I expected and the final "trust fall" was too much for me!! The guides were excellent and focused on safety. I appreciated them and their attentiveness.

eXplore Brown County is a family friendly place nestled in the hills of Brown County, IN. They offer a wide range of activities, including zip lines, off road tours, paintball, arrow tag and overnight accommodations. On our most recent visit, my kids and I spent the afternoon playing paintball. We were able to team up with other players and played on multiple fields. Afterwards, we checked into our cabin... #10 - Bartels Log Cabin (1 Queen bed, 1 Bunk Bed, Loft, Outdoor Hammock) that we had for the night. The cabin met our needs and had a nice deck and fire pit. It's nothing fancy and could use a little updating, but the price wasn't bad, and we all enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful to lay on the outdoor hammock under the stars and next to the fire. One of our favorite parts was the owner's dog who would stop by and relax on the deck with us. Looking forward to another visit next year!!

CAMP CABINSGreat option for summer camping. Bring everything except a tent. The cabins were in decent condition but did have a pretty musty smell. The carpet in the cabins should probably be ripped up in favor of wood or tile. The window unit AC is a welcome reprieve from sweltering summer heat when camping in the summer and the mini fridge with freezer worked great to keep 3 days' worth of groceries cold. The beds have a protective plastic wrap on them but I'd still give them a good wipe with a Clorox wipe. They're reasonably comfortable and way better than an air mattress or the hard ground. The cabin was a perfect size for the two of us and we were able to use the other beds as a place to put our stuff. It seems like this would be way too cramped for a family of more than three, but your mileage may vary depending on your tolerance. PROPERTY & STAFFThe spacing and privacy between camp cabins leave something to be desired. Also, there is a bright light on the big barn convention center that points directly into one of the sites. Sadly, ours was that site. It was impossible to get in contact with anyone at the company after business hours. Randomly, there was a seasoned regular camping nearby who happened to have the number for the grounds manager who lived nearby so he came by to turn it off. There are also two adorable and sweet dogs who live there and they camped out with us the whole weekend. STUFF TO DOWe booked the evening zip line and it was so great! The instructors were fantastic and the final zip over the lake was picturesque. The costs were competitive to other zip line excursions and it was so convenient.I've recommended this place to friends and family and would certainly give them another go.

Fun, fun, fun!! Take your kids here. We did the Explorer Canopy tour. The guides Janelle and Sam were awesome. They made us all feel safe and confident in our gear. The actual zip lines were awesome. The 2 sky bridges we walked across were pretty rad too. We paid the extra 10 bucks and did the Leap of Faith at the end and it was well worth it. The minimum weight is 50lbs so ill be bringing my 7 year old the next time we come here. I can only imagine doing this during the fall would be absolutely amazing with the colors.

My wife and I just zip lined here this evening and we enjoyed it very much! The staff all did a great job at making sure you were safe and made sure everything was done right. We did the night zip line tour and it was very cool we even went ahead and did the free fall at the end of the tour, that was insane cause I think they said you're up 40 feet and you just take a leap off the deck, was fun! It was our first time zip lining so we didn't know what to expect but we were very pleased with our adventure. Not much more to say, just go out and try this zip line tour out, it's great fun! We will have to do the day time tour next time!

First time Zip Lining for me. We must have had your best guides. Sarah and Chris were completely awesome. Perfect fit for their job.Cannot thank the girls enough. We had a fantastic time.Hope to be back soon.

My family did the Screamer zip tour. Our guides were Alex, Jeannelle and Chris. They did a great job explaining how everything was going to work before we did anything. They were very safety conscious. It was a good time. I didn't give it 5 stars because it seems like they could use more help in the office. There was only one person in the office to answer the phone and take care of people who came in. The phone was busy, so it was often 5+ minutes before anyone could talk to you. I loved the various signs posted around the place. All in all, highly recommended!

2nd time zip lining with Explore Brown County. Colin and Calista were very patient with our group of4 "senior" women.

The ziplining was incredible fun for our whole family ages 5-62! Our guides, Mason and Riley were fantastic! I would recommend the "Explorer Tour"!The buggy tours were fun as well.

I've been zip lining here twice now and it's such a blast. They're really good at yea bing/helping you through everything. Highly recommend!
