You need closed-toe shoes and must meet the weight and health requirements.

“Our family totally enjoyed our experience at the zip line. 3 of us were totally inexperienced. The team did a great job of training and encouraging us. When we needed help, they were right there to assist and did everything possible to make the experience fun and memorable.”
