(hotel can book it, reserve.anywherecostarica.com/arenal/tou… may overcharge)
Baldi…not the best place in La Fortuna…can be noisy…a lot of tour buses…

Sky Tram/Trek (best in CR ***)
This is an amazing excursion. Sky trek is by far better than any of the other ziplines I have done in Costa Rica.
We took our two 8 year old boys this spring. They had a great time and it seemed plenty safe. The kids ride with a guide alongside, so they often went faster than we did, much to their delight. We also did the Sky bridge tour, unfortunately at mid-day, but even so, saw nearly as much wildlife as at Monteverde! If I were to do it again, I’d do the walk early, then the zip line later.
(***) Santa Elena Skywalk
Selvatura Park - Butterfly Garden
Frog Pond - Ranario
We went because we wanted to see quetzals and hike in the cloud forest. If that doesn’t interest you, you can easily fill up the time in Arenal - there’s tons of things to do there. Monteverde was quite cold and rainy when we were there. We had to wear sweatshirts at night, and our hotel had the fireplace going. If you’re looking for a place to stay in MV, we enjoyed Fonda Vela. They have some new junior suites that are comfortable and pretty affordable.
It really will depend on when you’re coming. If you’re there during the green season, definitely do only the morning tour, at night it usually rains and if not, it’s usually muddy after the rain.However, during the dry season go for both! 50% of the night animals come out at night, so it’s a super cool tour
