Groups and Gatherings
Adventure for groups of all ages!
Groups of 10 or more get discounted rates at Owl Creek Landing. Connect with one of your Group Sales Specialists about your group needs, and we’ll tailor a package for you!
Owl Creek Landing is ideal for groups, as it is accessible for any age and mobility. Once you enter the Nautilus Lookout Tower, it is a self contained experience in the trees. The tower itself is fully ADA compliant, providing an opportunity for every group member to enjoy the experience of being immersed in nature.
The Children’s Treehouse Village is the perfect exploration spot for younger children, while all visitors will enjoy the bird’s eye view of the forest as they walk the Treetop Trail Canopy Walk.
Owl Creek Landing can accommodate group outings of any size, depending on time of day and availability. We recommend allowing at least 90 minutes for a visit, though there are no time restrictions. No equipment is needed, but chaperones do need to be actively supervising children as they explore the property.
