Accessible Zip Lining returns to NEW Zoo and Adventure Park

The NEW Zoo and Adventure Park has announced the return of Accessible Zip Lining at the Adventure Park.

This year, sessions will be offered on three Thursdays throughout the summer: June 26, July 24, and August 14, from 12-5 p.m. each day.

These inclusive events are designed to make the thrill of ziplining accessible to those with physical disabilities in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

Trained and professional staff will assist participants throughout the full experience — from getting geared up, to being lifted to the top of the 50-foot-tall fire tower, to zipping down the 1,000-foot-long Dual Racing Zip Lines.

At the end of the exhilarating ride, staff will assist with a smooth, controlled descent to the ground.

“We’re excited to be able to offer three separate Accessible Zip Lining events this year,” said Nathaniel Wagner, Adventure Park supervisor. “Everyone who joined us last year had such a great time. We look forward to zipping both returning and new participants this summer.”

Reservations are required and should be made in advance online at newzoo.org or by calling (920) 662-2415.

Participants must be at least 6 years old, able to hold themselves in an upright position, and weigh no more than 200 pounds.

Friends and family members are encouraged to also register and participate, to zip alongside their loved ones during these special events.

Questions about this event should be directed to Adventure Park Supervisor Nathaniel Wagner at (920) 662-2148 or nathaniel.wagner@browncountywi.gov.
