Opt outside and join us in the trees for an unforgettable treetop adventure. The Treetop Zipline Adventure at Ijams Nature Center provides opportunities for avid aerial trekkers and first-timers alike to soar from tree to tree on ziplines, explore the forest from a whole new perspective, cross wobbly bridges, balance, climb, swing, and tackle more than 60 adventure elements.
Your treetop zipline adventure begins with outfitting, followed by a safety briefing and orientation to the equipment and systems. Then, it’s off to the Tree House, your launchpad to our six adventure trails. The trails are color-coded according to difficulty (rated easy to extreme), and each includes 10–12 challenge elements.
You’ll have 2 hours to explore as many trails as you like. At the end of each trail, return to the Tree House and pick your next adventure. Challenge yourself to conquer all six trails or repeat your favorite as many times as possible—it’s entirely up to you!
