Included in your birthday party is a designated picnic area to eat and celebrate.  We don’t include food in our packages because we’ve found that our local eateries offer so many unique options that we can’t make on-site.  So we’ve partnered with local restaurants to make eating easy, or you can bring food for the party with you! 

We also offer parents or hosts the ability to have us create and provide goody bags for all of the guests.  We find that this saves you time as the host and allows you to focus on the fun of the day.

Birthday Party Reservations: NY, MA & WI Edition

Each park location has their own scheduling process to make sure you get the date you want!

Experience the Thrill of Ziplining: A Beginner’s Guide

Tuesday, January 17th, 2023

Ziplining is a thrilling and exciting adventure activity that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Whether you’re a seasoned thrill-seeker or a first-time adventurer, ziplining offers a unique and unforgettable experience. 

However, before you head out for your first zipline adventure, there are a few things you should know. This guide will cover everything you need to know to ensure a safe and enjoyable zipline experience.

PS. We’ve been in your shoes, so we know that the first time can seem daunting. We promise that you’re going to LOVE ziplining and we can’t wait to hear all about it.

Safety First: Understanding the Equipment and Regulations

Ziplining requires the use of specialized equipment, including harnesses, ropes, and pulleys. It’s essential to understand how the equipment works and what safety regulations are in place to ensure your protection.

Here at Boundless Adventures, you’ll complete a mandatory training session where you’ll get your equipment on, it’ll be inspected for safety compliance, you’ll be explained the course, and get a chance to ask any questions.  We want you to be comfortable in all facets of the experience.  The only thing we can’t take away are those pre-zipline jitters (we promise those are normal too!)

All reputable zipline companies will follow strict safety regulations, including regular equipment inspections, trained and experienced staff, and emergency procedures. Before you go ziplining, make sure you understand the safety guidelines and regulations and feel comfortable with the equipment being used.

Our parks are inspected daily by our staff, and annually by an ACCT-certified inspector and state representatives.

Choosing the Right Zipline Course for Your Skill Level

Zipline courses vary in difficulty and length, so it’s important to choose a course appropriate for your skill level. Beginner courses are typically shorter and less challenging, while advanced courses may be longer and more strenuous.

If you’re a first-time zipliner, it’s recommended to start with a beginner course and work your way up to more challenging courses as you gain experience. This will help you build confidence and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

At Boundless Adventures we offer 4-levels of outdoor adventure.  This ensures that we don’t put you in a position that makes you uncomfortable or unsafe.  So be honest with the staff members at your local spot so they can truly understand what you’re ready for.

Physical Requirements and Health Considerations

Ziplining can be physically demanding, so it’s important to understand the physical requirements and health considerations before you go. Some zipline courses may have weight or height restrictions, and certain medical conditions may prevent you from participating.

It’s recommended to consult with your doctor before participating in a zipline course, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns. This will help ensure that you’re physically able to participate and have a safe and enjoyable experience.

What to Wear and Bring for Your Zipline Adventure

When preparing for your zipline adventure, it’s important to wear the right clothing and bring the necessary equipment. Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is recommended, as well as closed-toe shoes with good traction. It’s also a good idea to bring along a water bottle and any other personal items you may need.

Our staff has written some amazing guides that dive into what you wear ziplining, which we recommend you read.  We won’t go super in-depth here as we don’t want you to get overwhelmed.  The quick answer is: stick to the basics and be comfortable.  Always check the rules of your local parks to make sure you have the minimum required items.

Most zipline companies will provide the necessary equipment, including harnesses and helmets, but it’s always a good idea to check ahead of time to make sure.

Enjoy the Experience and Have Fun

Above all, the most important thing to remember when ziplining is to have fun and enjoy the experience. Ziplining is a unique and thrilling adventure that offers breathtaking views and a sense of freedom like no other. So relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the ride.

We know that ziplining for the first time can be fun (and scary), but we promise you’ll leave with the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Zipline Tips From Former First-Timers

Being a first-timer is a situation we’ve all been in before.  We’re so excited that you’ve decided to give ziplining a try and take the leap of faith.  We can promise you that it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

By understanding the equipment and safety regulations, choosing the right course for your skill level, considering physical requirements and health considerations, preparing with the right clothing and equipment, and most importantly, having fun, you’ll be sure to have a safe and enjoyable zipline experience.

We can’t wait to experience this with you. We’ll see you in the trees!

Zipline Safety 101: A Complete Guide to Staying Safe

Tuesday, December 13th, 2022

Ziplining is one of the most exciting ways to experience nature. It’s like a roller coaster for your legs! But with so many zip line skill levels to choose from, it can be easy to forget about zipline safety. 

Accounting for all of our Boundless Adventures staff, we have thousands of hours of zipline experience and safety briefings under our belt. This allows us to have the inside track on how to keep you safe all while allowing you to have the ultimate zipline adventure. 

This guide will walk you through all the steps you need to take before and during your flight to make sure it goes smoothly—and safely!

If you’re near one of our Adventure & Zipline Parks in NY, MA or WI we’d love to see you in the trees!

Be Realistic About Your Physical Abilities

Before you start ziplining, it’s important to be realistic about your physical abilities. Zipline tours can last for an extended period of time and involve a lot of standing and climbing obstacles. 

Because we know that everyone can’t be a zipline pro (not yet at least!), we offer several different levels in our adventure park. That way you can always feel safe here!

Depending on your age you may be required to bring a guide or hire one on-site. This is required to keep everyone safe at all times. 

You can learn more about how we break down our skill levels here

If you’re sure ziplining is for you, then here’s what else you need to consider.

Wear the Right Clothing & Footwear

When you’re ziplining, you want to be comfortable. Plan to be up in the trees for a few hours and know that you’ll be wearing a safety harness, gloves, and more.  All of these things should impact your clothing and footwear choice as the gear you wear will ultimately shift your clothing around a bit. 

When it comes to shoes: always closed-toed for safety. We don’t allow any other types here at Boundless Adventures.

We also require gloves on all of our courses.  You can bring your own or purchase a pair of ours on-site. 

Remember, we’re open rain or shine, hot or cold. So you need to check the weather and plan for what mother nature has in store.

Listen to Staff Instructions

You should listen to staff instructions, and pay attention to safety warnings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. It’s also crucial that you speak up if the equipment doesn’t seem safe or if you don’t feel comfortable with something.

We require that all of our zipliners and climbers go through a safety briefing before beginning their adventure.  Don’t be afraid to challenge your staff member with questions to ensure you feel comfortable.

The best thing you can do is follow directions and be respectful of staff members who are there working hard to make sure everyone has fun in a safe environment.

  1. We have a practice line where you can test out your equipment to ensure you feel comfortable with it.  Once you feel good, you can head to your course!

Let Staff Know If Something Unusual Happens During Your Flight

It is important to let staff know if something unusual happens during your zipline experience. For example, if you are injured or have any concerns about the harness that it is too loose or too tight, let them know immediately. This will help prevent future problems from occurring and make sure that everyone has a safe and fun experience at the park.

The Boundless Adventures Park’s are built and maintained to ACCT standards (Association of Challenge Course Technology), the industry oversight body in the U.S. The Parks are inspected daily by our staff, and annually by an ACCT-certified inspector.  This is a key piece to safety and we’re proud to tell everyone about it. Regardless of the park you visit, ask if they follow any national standards or inspections!

Overall Zipline Safety

Ziplining is an exciting way to see the world from a new perspective, so be sure to follow these tips and guidelines. You don’t want anything ruining your day of adventure! 

While it can be easy to throw safety items on the back burner, always try to keep them in mind. Our job here at Boundless Adventures is to handle most of the safety things for you so you can have fun in the trees! We’ll see you up there!

Natural Scenery – Real trees, fresh air, and seasonal beauty create immersive environments that indoor facilities can’t replicate

Space for Challenge – Outdoor courses span acres, allowing for longer ziplines, higher platforms, and more diverse obstacles

Weather Resilience – Operating rain or shine with appropriate gear recommendations

Park Integration – Locations within larger park systems offer additional recreational opportunities

Ropes Courses for Special Occasions

Birthday Parties

Celebrate in the trees with packages designed for kids and teens. Party coordinators assist with logistics while guests create unforgettable memories challenging themselves on age-appropriate courses.

School & Camp Field Trips

Educational outdoor experiences that combine physical activity with confidence building and team cooperation. Schools appreciate the supervised environment and developmental benefits.

Corporate Team Building

Nothing builds trust and communication like encouraging colleagues through challenging obstacles. Corporate packages available for groups seeking unique bonding experiences away from the office.

Scout Troops & Youth Groups

Adventure-based learning opportunities that align with scouting values and badge requirements while providing supervised outdoor recreation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old do you need to be? Participants must be at least 7 years old. There’s no upper age limit—if you meet the physical requirements, you’re welcome to climb.

Do I need to be in great shape? Not necessarily. Beginner courses accommodate most fitness levels. While upper body strength helps, many obstacles rely more on technique, balance, and mental determination than pure strength.

What if I’m afraid of heights? Many visitors discover their courage at Boundless Adventures. Start with lower courses to build confidence, take breaks when needed, and remember that you’re always securely attached to safety lines.

Can spectators watch without paying? Yes, admission is complimentary for those who wish to watch and cheer on their friends and family members.

Is it safe for children? Absolutely. Children 7+ can participate with proper supervision. Younger guests may have height and reach requirements for certain courses. Guides are available to assist families with young climbers.

What happens if someone gets stuck? Trained staff monitor all courses and can provide encouragement, guidance, or assistance if needed. Rescue protocols are in place for any situation.

High Flying Adventure Parks in MA: What to Look For, Wear & How to Prepare

Friday, November 18th, 2022

Adventure parks are an AMAZING way to get out and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. They allow you to try something new, like zip lining through the treetops or climbing up a wall, in a safe and controlled environment. There’s no better way to spend an afternoon than flying through the trees, so if you’re looking for an exciting activity that’s perfect for all ages—or just want some fresh air and sunshine—then keep reading!

Massachusetts Adventure Parks: What to Look For

The first thing to look for when trying to find a new high-flying adventure park is safety. You want to make sure that the park has a good safety record and doesn’t have any recent complaints about accidents or injuries. This can be done by reading reviews and testimonials of former patrons of the park, talking with local officials, or calling around within your area to see if anyone knows anything about the park you’re considering visiting.

Next, you should consider whether or not this particular high-flying adventure park has what you’re looking for in terms of location. Are there other activities nearby? Is there parking available? If so, where exactly is it located? Does it cost extra money? Last but certainly not least, consider whether this specific high-flying adventure park has activities suited to your preferences and skill level as an extreme sports enthusiast (or beginner).

When it comes to Boundless Adventures here in MA, we have courses for all skill-levels, on-site parking and have received incredible reviews from our visitors all over Facebook, Google, Yelp and more! 

What to Wear Ziplining in MA (Or any adventure park)

We’ve written a few guides to give you a truly in depth look at the best zipline and adventure park outfits and accessories, but we’ll hit a few of the most important ones here:

  • Wear comfortable clothes (nothing super baggy, but don’t go too tight where you’re regretting your choice while ziplining)
  • Wear shoes that you can climb in (and one’s that aren’t open-toed)
  • Wear sunscreen. We’ll be outside all day, so remember to bring along your favorite brand of sunscreen (SPF 50 is a good idea) and apply it before you get on the chairlift or zip line. (Or bring those long sleeves if you’re visiting in the early spring or late fall!)

Two of our previous clothing guides include:

The Experts Guide to Zipline Clothing: Options for Beginners and Seasoned Vets

Sunday, October 30th, 2022

Ziplines are an exciting way to explore nature and get some exercise. But before you go, you should know a few things about how to dress for your adventure. 

While we know the decision-making process can seem overwhelming, don’t sweat it.  We’ve been a household name in the zipline world for ages and we can’t wait to share our best-kept secrets. 

On a high note, choose clothes that fit well. You don’t want to wear tight pants that ride up while you zip through the trees. Also, since you’ll likely be climbing and trusting your feet for grip, you’ll need shoes that provide good traction. Finally, bring along a change of clothes. You never know when you’ll get caught in a rainstorm, sweat through your gear, or want some new clothes to relax in later. 

Now that the high-level notes are out of the way, let’s break down the 3 clothing categories you need to spend some time deciding on. 

P.S. We don’t make specific brand recommendations because there are a ton of great options.  If we dove into all of the zipline clothing brand options here, you’d be reading for days. 

The Top Half – Zipline Clothing Options

For the sake of our “Top Half” zipline clothing options, we’ll consider anything from the waist up to be included (we’ll count the hands too!) 

Shirts

Here at our Boundless Adventures Parks you won’t need to overthink your shirt choice too much.  Just consider that shirts can easily bunch up against your harness, so choose something that is either fitted or a shirt that can be tucked in.  

Depending on the season, consider short sleeves vs long sleeves.  We’ll leave that to you and your personal preference. 

Just don’t forget, ziplining is an outdoor activity so you have to consider all of the different elements you may encounter. 

Hats

While you’re free to wear hats here at Boundless Adventures, it’s not a requirement.  In fact, most of our zipline areas are tree-covered and provide natural shade.  Plus, flying through the air with your hat coming loose may not be something you want to mess with. 

Gloves

At Boundless Adventures, gloves are a must.  We encourage you to bring your own pair (bike or gardening gloves are fine) or you can purchase gloves on-site for $6/pair.  

We want to protect your hands and ensure you have the most enjoyable zipline adventure you can! 

The Bottom Half – Zipline Clothing Options

For the sake of our “Bottom Half” zipline clothing options, we’ll consider anything from the waist down to be included.

Shorts/Pants/Leggings

Please don’t take us as ones for the theatrics, but making the right choice on your pants/shorts debate is extremely important.  Why do we say such a thing? 

That’s because the harness that you’ll wear when ziplining goes under your legs and around your waist, securing you tightly to the line above your head. Shorts that are too short may ride up when your harness is tightened, or when you’re zipping down the line.

Footwear

While we like to give our guests options when they visit the park, we have a strict rule on shoes: NO open-toed shoes are allowed. 

Requiring closed-toe shoes helps us ensure you don’t injure your feet before, during, or after your zipline adventure. Just remember, you need to walk/climb/hike to start and finish your adventure! 

All The Extras

No list would be complete without the zipline clothing extras.  While they may not technically qualify as “clothing” it’s still important to remember: 

Sunscreen

Yes, we know we sound like your parents harping on sunscreen, but it’s extremely important.  During the day you’ll be exposed to a ton of sun that could leave you with some sunburn.  While you won’t burn as if you were laying out at the beach, we want to make sure you stay safe at all times. 

Cell Phones / GoPros

This sounds obvious, but it’s important to talk about.  We have a strict no-cellphone policy while you’re actually in the air ziplining.  That’s because when you’re gliding from tree to tree, you need to be focused on the experience, not your phone.  

We encourage you to have family/friends on the platforms take photos or videos of you.  

We’ve also seen plenty of guests use GoPro mounts to record the actual zipline experience.  We LOVE seeing that footage, so if you do choose to record, please feel free to share it with us on social media! 

Zipline Clothing Options Recap

At the end of the day, wear what makes you happy and comfortable (as long as it’s within the rules of course.) 

We want you to enjoy the day and not let this become a stress point of your zipline adventure.  Overall, pick things that fit you well and that you’re comfortable in.  The rest will take care of itself. 

If you’re in the NY, MA or WI areas we’d love to host you at our local Zipline Courses.  If you’re somewhere else just learning about zipline clothing, we hope you feel a little more confident before your next zipline adventure. 

We’ll see you in the trees!
