Tour Tips and Highlights
Bring close-toed, comfortable running or walking shoes. You’ll encounter some relatively steep slopes along the trails and suspension bridges leading to each zip line.- You might want to bring a pair of sunglasses, and athletic wear is recommended so you are comfortable in the safety harness. For cooler days, wear a few layers with a windbreaker.
- Bring a close-fitting sling bag or a backpack that buckles in the front to keep your phone and camera secure. You can bring your own water bottle or Camelbak so long they are secured (water is also provided halfway through the tour).
- Bring a camera with a strap to capture the moment pre-zip or mid-flight!
- Each line gradually gets faster and higher, with lines reaching heights of 84 feet and speeds of up to 40 mph.
- Line 9, the Triple Zip, is your final stop on the tour. Guides teach you how to flip upside down or turn as you fly down their fastest, longest line extending 1,200 feet! This is Wildwood’s racing line and is also available for guests to enjoy outside of the full canopy tour.
