For Christmas, we try to give the kids more experience gifts rather than toys and such since they never seem really use it much. Mediums got a trip to Screaming Eagle Zip Line, home to the longest zip line in the world. The age requirement is 10 so we chose a weekend that Talls was with his mom and sent Snack Pack to hang out with her grandma. It just so happened to be close to Pop’s birthday so we invited him to join as well. It was Smalls’ first ever zip line.
We had a blast! After the “IQ test” where we learned the do’s and don’ts, we hooked in and headed up the rope bridge to the first zip line. This zip line course was unique in that there was a bit of an obstacle course on the way to each zip line. There were 12 lines where we hit top speeds of 45 mph. We chose to do the levels 1 and 2. There are 4 total with the final one being the Screaming Eagle which goes up to 75 mph! Lets just say we are definitely going back to do all 4.
There is a ton of stuff to do at Historic Banning Mills including hiking, rock wall, free fall, horseback riding, and so much more. They even have place to stay there including cabins and tree houses. We will be back!
