Summary:
Caden and Autumn were fantastic guides! They seemed genuinely stoked to be up in the air with all of us and shared some really cool tricks. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our family’s first time zip lining. Hanging upside down over the Gallatin was a thrill I’ll never forget. Wish I’d left this review sooner but we traveled out of service and then it slipped my mind. Caden was super sweet to our nine year old. Enjoyed talking to Autumn about the importance of art education. Zip lining is likely always a fun adventure but I credit our amazing guides for shaping the day into a core memory for our fam! Thanks Caden and Autumn! - The Fishers

Summary:
I have an extreme fear of heights and I didn’t think I would be able to finish the challenging aerial obstacle course but with the encouragement of the guides and friends I did it. The guides were knowledgeable and very capable. Swinging bridges and challenging obstacles not for the faint of heart be warned if you are afraid of heights this may not be for you

Summary:
The entire staff here was absolutely a blast to interact with. We did the 3 zip line course on 9/12/25, while on our honeymoon road trip, and had Alyssa and Jade as our guides and they were AWESOME!!! I was nervous and they made me feel very comfortable. It was my first time. Now, I am researching places to zip line back home! Thank you to the staff for our wonderful experience!
