Acrobranch Melrose: Outdoor Family Fun in the Heart of Johannesburg

If you’re looking for fresh air, adventure, and outdoor excitement in Johannesburg, Acrobranch Melrose is a must-visit. Nestled in the scenic James and Ethel Gray Park, this treetop adventure park combines adrenaline-pumping fun with beautiful natural surroundings, making it one of Joburg’s top outdoor attractions in 2025.

What is Acrobranch Melrose?

Acrobranch Melrose is part of the well-known Acrobranch network but holds a special place in history – it was the very first Acrobranch in South Africa. Designed to get both children and adults moving, the park features a variety of aerial obstacle courses, zip lines, monkey bridges, nets, and Tarzan swings that will take you from tree to tree.

It’s more than just a park – it’s an active escape in the middle of the city, promoting balance, strength, confidence, and fun for all age groups.

Courses for Every Age and Fitness Level

Acrobranch Melrose offers multiple courses suited to different age groups and abilities:

• Acro-Twigs (Ages 3-6): Perfectly safe and exciting, this child-friendly course hovers 2-3 meters above the ground and encourages motor skill development and self-confidence.

• Monkey Moves (Beginners): This gradually progressing course reaches up to 5 meters and is ideal for first-time climbers of all ages.

• Swinging Tarzan (Moderate): A combination of monkey bridges, zip lines, and Tarzan jumps, this course offers a moderate physical challenge with obstacles as high as 10 meters.

• High Flying Course (Advanced): For the brave and daring, this course features high-altitude elements and advanced challenges, all under the supervision of trained instructors.

Each visitor is equipped with a secure harness, and expert safety briefings are provided to ensure peace of mind.
