Prepping for Your First Flight: What to Know Before You Go
You’re all fired up to zip – now let’s make sure you’re fully prepped!
Zip Lost Pines makes it easy to get ready, but there are a few things to know before you arrive.
What to wear: Think athletic and comfy. Closed-toe shoes (like sneakers or trail runners) are required. Avoid loose clothing or dangling jewelry – you’re going airborne, after all!
Weight & age requirements: You must weigh at least 50 lbs to zip, and most guests range from age 6 and up. It’s a great outing for families, couples, and groups.
Health & safety: If you’re pregnant, recovering from surgery, or have a heart condition, it’s best to sit this one out. Everyone must sign a waiver before zipping. Learn more on our FAQ page.
