Zip-line

A thrilling 200 ft. long ride through the tree-tops

Our zip-line is loads of fun! Kids and adults love riding it over and over again!

  • The first ride is free with all passes!
  • Additional rides are $2 each per person.

Rules

  • All riders must be 4ft tall. Adults are welcome too (no weight restrictions!).
  • All riders must sign a liability release form (below). Children under 18 years of age must have one of their parent's or legal guardian sign for them.
  • Climbing harnesses and helmets must be worn at all times during the ride.
  • Note to girls: Because a climbing harness is worn during the ride, pants or shorts are recommended. No dresses or skirts.

Safety

Our 200 ft long zip-line is capable of handling loads over 4,000 lbs; it has been carefully tested and properly maintained for safety. Every rider will be assisted with expert guidance by our professional staff members. Climbing harnesses and helmets must be worn at all times during the ride. Because the zip-line involves height, motion, and special climbing equipment there is a measure of caution that must be adhered to by all participants. The zip line is safe. Not only is our zip-line certified and annually inspected, it is also rigorously maintained and tested for safe operation.
