My adult daughter and I went here on our recent visit to St. Petersburg Beach. Zip Lining has been on my to do list for quite some time and I'm so glad I went. The facility is off the beaten path in the woods which is good. Who wants to zip line in an urban setting? The courses became increasingly difficult as you moved ahead but always mixed nicely with challenges that gave you a break too.
The staff was great. They made sure you watched the training video. To insure your safety, they strongly recommended that you did not talk and put away your phone so you paid attention. Furthermore, they make you go through a practice course so they can see you understand how to use the equipment safely. You will not be allowed to go on the course until you can.
There were guides throughout the course to ensure everyone was safe and to rescue those who needed it, like me. Also, they would give you encouragement if you looked like you were tiring out.
Unfortunately mother nature did not cooperate with us the day we went. WE got about half way through when we got removed from the course because lighting had been detected in the area.
They do have a great weather policy too. If you get removed from the course and cannot wait for the weather to clear up, they will give 50% off vouchers for your next visit. If you stay 30 minutes or more and the weather does not clear up, you get a voucher for a fully paid future visit. The best thing about these is that they DON'T expire!!!
Looking Forward to my next visit here!
I would recommend bringing gloves and bug spray.
