“Mega Zip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

This was the first time zipping for me and my teenage daughter. It was TONS of fun! Our guides were Chris and Bridgette and they did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend this to others. It's cool in the cavern so buy a sweatshirt before your zip.

“Just...WOW. :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

I keep going back here...once in the summer and once at Christmas. If you love geology, saves, riding instead of hiking to see great wonders this is it! The history of the place, and the fact that it could be used and built in secret is fascinating to me! Learn something new every summer. Love the Christmas lights in the... More

I was completely confident in their concern for our safety and was grateful for the confidence they built in our 8 year old. We travelled with family friends and had five kids (ages 8-12) in our...
