★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 760 reviews · 3 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $288Our pick

At Seven Falls, you’ll ride five ziplines up to 1,800 feet long, cross two suspension bridges, and finish with a controlled 180-foot rappel. Guides such as Devin, Birdie, Cole, and Cita keep the pace friendly and safety-focused. The three-hour course suits kids and adults who meet the strict 90 to 250-pound limit.

“The van ride up the mountain was the scariest part of the trip, lol. I was concerned about how to carry my phone and was relieved when we were given zipper pouches that securely are clipped to your harness. Make sure you bring sunglasses and wear sunscreen. We were offered water upon arrival and also on the trail . I felt safe and secure while zip lining. So glad we experienced the beautiful scenery in such a fun way. I feel it’s worth the money spent to make great memories.”
