Even if you're a little nervous, the staff will encourage you and help you to feel comfortable. Ages 7 and up can zip and all participants must be between 55 and 285 pounds.
Reservations are recommended, but they do accept walk-ins if there is space available. You can find all of the details on the cavern's website, linked below.
The zip line course isn't the only underground adventure at the Mega Cavern, so you may want to plan an entire day here.
