Ziplining With Kids

Kids zip on commercial courses every week. The constraint is the smallest person in the group — age, height, and the minimum weight. Full mountain tours often start around 10. Kids’ courses start younger.

Book the product that fits the youngest, not the teenager.

What Age Is Too Young?

There is no national floor. Full mountain tours often start around 10. Kids’ courses often start around 6–9, sometimes with a weight minimum that a six-year-old will not hit. Under that, you are usually looking at a playground zip or waiting a year. Read that operator’s age *and* weight. Birthday alone is not enough.
