treaties. Birthday parties available as well. For ages 6-16. Dragon Quests
(Full-Day Programs). Dragon Quests are Adventure Quest programs that
last a full day – either from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. These programs are open to kids age 8-16, and have more riddles,
more dueling, more intrigue, and often times, more customization. In
Dragon groups, the Quest Leader gets a chance to connect with the
children in ways that the half-day Griffon Quest Leaders cannot because
of time constraints. Often during the heat of the afternoon, Dragon
groups take a break from questing to play more relaxing games or to dip
their feet in the creek. On Fridays, after the Risen Lands Bazaar,
Dragon groups have the option to play the muchanticipated Ambush Games,
which is a capture-theflag kind of game over the scope of the entire
park.
Griffon
Quests (Half-Day Programs). These half-day Adventure Quest programs
last either from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,

are focused almost exclusively on Adventure Quest. Because there isn’t
enough time in the afternoon to do much questing, the kids really want
to make the most of their mornings, and the Quest Leaders know to pack
in a lot of adventure!
