Denver Adventures

Kids age five and up will get a full zip line experience on lines ranging from 850 to 1,900 feet and reaching speeds up to 60 mph. Younger kids zip in tandem with another child, a professional guide, or a parent, as long as their combined weight doesn’t exceed 210 lbs. (For safety reasons, tandem combinations will be decided on the day of your tour, based on weather and other conditions.) The 6-Line Zip line Adventure Tour (two and a half hours) is the most popular; consider the 4-Line tour (less than two hours) for younger kids.
