About Leavenworth Adventure Park
Leavenworth Adventure Park is home to the Tumwater Twister, Washington State's first alpine coaster, located at the intersection of Highway 2 and Icicle Road just a 15-minute walk from downtown Leavenworth. The park opened to bring year-round family adventure to the Bavarian Village, operating rain or shine with no admission fee — guests pay only for the activities they choose.
The star attraction is the alpine coaster, where riders control their own speed on a gravity-powered sled down a winding track through the forest. The park also features a multi-level climbing wall suitable for all ages and skill levels, a gem mining sluice where kids can pan for real gemstones, and scenic grounds perfect for picnicking. The coaster runs year-round with heated seats in winter, making it one of few outdoor attractions open during the snowy months.
What makes Leavenworth Adventure Park special is its accessibility — no reservations needed, free parking, and activities suited for ages three and up. It fills a gap in the local adventure scene by offering something between gentle sightseeing and full-blown whitewater rafting. For families visiting Leavenworth, it's become an essential stop that didn't exist a few years ago.
