The attraction has two courses that both go through woodland, with many obstacles on the way and last around an hour-and-a-half each.
There are also a number of zip slides including one that is 90 metres long.
Whilst the Loch Lomond site closed in October, a second site at Aviemore remains open.
Announcing the closure of its outlet at Loch Lomond Shores, TreeZone said at the time that the decision was made with "regret" after operating there for nine years.

"As owners, we have not made this decision lightly, but our adventure business has grown too big and complicated to run effectively and it is time to let this part of it go, in order to refocus on our operations elsewhere.
"We understand the impact that this will have on our awesome team of instructors, who have done a brilliant job in running the course, and also, that there are many regular customers out there who will miss us too."
The attraction is located at the edge of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, which boasts a number of mountains, hiking trails, heritage attractions and campsites.
Within walking distance of TreeZone is Balloch Castle Country Park which stretches over 200 acres.
Located within the park is Balloch Castle, which was built in the early 19th century.
