Family Adventure Idea: Zip Lines & High Rope Tours!
By TMoM Team Member Katie Moosbrugger
Good news!! Many Zipline courses re-opened during Phase 2 this past Memorial Day Weekend! And according to some of the websites below, others are planning to reopen at some point in June. This is a great way to create some family fun while social distancing, and the good news is that you can usually find a venue no matter where you happen to be in NC! If your family loves to try new things and you are not afraid of heights, one of these tours might be the perfect thing to add to your summer adventures.
To get more information, simply click the name of the location to go directly to their web site. *Note the opening date for 2020 and their COVID-19 updates & guidelines prior to booking your adventure!
Before you head out, also make sure you check the age and weight requirements for both zip line and high rope tours. Most of the zip line tours require a minimum weight of 70 pounds, and the ages vary depending on what you plan on doing. Most places listed below have a minimum age (mostly around age 10), but some offer special adventures just for the little ones!
