Nine Lines, One Zero Gravity Finish
The park runs nine ziplines total, ranging from easier warm-up lines for people easing into it to a 65-foot tower launch that ends in a signature Zero Gravity Zipline, a 12-foot free fall before the line catches you and carries you through the trees like a roller coaster. Guides stay with your group the entire way, on the ziplines and on the Ninja tours, adjusting the pace and the challenges to whatever your crew can handle. For something different, book the Sunset Date Night Tour for golden hour views, or the Night Flight, where ZIP KC lights up the towers and sends you zipping through total darkness with only the moon, the stars, and the park lights to guide you. Wear glow gear if you've got it. Everyone does.
Beyond the Ziplines
If ziplining isn't the whole story you're looking for, ZIP KC's guided Ninja tour covers close to two miles of wooded trail with roughly 20 obstacles that guides pick out based on what your group can handle, so a group of kids and a group of seasoned hikers get two very different versions of the same course. A few times a year, the property also hosts the Timber Challenge, a 2K to 5K mud run with 25 to 30-plus permanent obstacles built right into the land. These races are open to the public, welcome spectators, and end at a foam party finish line, with race medals, shirts, and merch available if you want to prove you did it.
Exiled: Trail of Terrors Takes Over in October
Come fall, the same woods that host zipline tours by day turn into something else entirely. Exiled: Trail of Terrors opens Friday and Saturday nights through October, plus a few extra dates late in the month, turning the forest into a haunted carnival where the games bite back and the performers get a little too close for comfort. There's food, themed drink bars, and a gift shop stocked with oddities and handmade pieces from local artists. If you're building a Halloween weekend around Kansas City, this is the one people talk about for the rest of the year.
A Place That Works For Any Group You Bring
ZIP KC hosts birthday parties at a picnic area where you're welcome to bring decorations, snacks, and a cake, with the only ask being that you clean up after yourselves so the woods stay the way they found them. Add on a Foam Bubble Birthday Party to any zipline or Ninja tour and you get your own party guide, yard games before and after, 45 minutes of foam play, and a shirt for the birthday person. Companies, scout troops, and families also book team building outings built around the obstacle hike, which turns into a surprisingly effective way to get a group working together again. Between the range of tour options, the guides who clearly love the job, and a course built to flex for different ages and comfort levels, it's the kind of place people come back to more than once, sometimes to see a guide they liked on their last visit.
