Frequently Asked Questions
Closed-toe shoes are required. Sandals, flip-flops, and open-toe footwear are not permitted on the tour. Dress for the weather since tours run rain or shine, and skip the skirts. Food and drinks are not allowed on the course. You will also want to be prepared for some light physical effort, including holding yourself upright on the line and braking with your hands.
Absolutely. Every tour starts with a full safety briefing and gear fitting before anyone leaves the ground. Guides are with your group the entire time and are great at making first-timers feel comfortable. Kids must be at least 3 years old and under 16 must have a legal guardian along for the tour.
Late spring through early fall is hard to beat for weather. Summer mornings are a great call if you want cooler temps before the heat sets in. Fall is especially popular for the views over the Ozarks. Tours operate rain or shine, with closures only for thunderstorms or extreme winds.
Tours run about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on group size. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early to check in at the main ticket office. Tours leave on time, so do not cut it close.

There is not another spot in Branson quite like it. You can zipline through the Ozark treetops, ride the Copperhead Mountain Coaster, climb the 230-foot Inspiration Tower, take a historic homestead tour, and catch a live outdoor drama all in the same visit. The property sits on the land that inspired Harold Bell Wright’s 1907 novel and has been welcoming guests for over 50 years. USA Today readers have voted it America’s Best Aerial Adventure Park multiple times.
Reservations are strongly recommended. Tours fill up fast, especially on summer weekends and during fall foliage season. Walk-ins are welcome if space is available, but booking ahead is the safest way to guarantee your spot.
Guests must be at least 3 years old and weigh 275 pounds or less to participate. There are no height restrictions. Anyone under 16 needs a legal guardian present. If you have health concerns, it is worth calling ahead since ziplining does require some upper body strength.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
“Great zipline experience! If you are looking for an affordable, fun canopy tour, this is the place for you. Josh and Andrew were our guides and they were so personable. They are very patient and teach you everything you need to know. It was super easy to get the hang of the process. The views were beautiful and long lines to ride. We took the Woodsman tour that includes all 8 ziplines. Would recommend for anyone who wants to take on a new adventure in the area!” – Google
