Zipit Forest Adventure

Had a kids party there it was so brilliant the staff are so helpful and very well trained. Everything is down to a tee the place is so well designed. This is great for a group or a family outing or few just apeople. Whatever you want zipit has it.
Ps they have started selling hot drinks there recently as I have purchased one.

You’d think fear of heights would be good enough reason to stay away from a pursuit involving hurling yourself from treetop to treetop, fifty feet above ground, along a piece of string. And, in theory, it definitely is, but here’s a tip. Simply never look down. It genuinely works.
Aside from that, the only group I’d advise against zip-​lining is the infirm or very unfit. It does involve a fair bit of heft, and there are moments when you are painfully reminded that there is a large muscle group residing in your middle area, as you try to climb a net you’ve just bashed into, up to your refuge on a treetop platform.
But for anyone in the young therefore naturally fit, or middle aged and reasonably fit, categories, this is an absolute must to try at least once. It is just so much fun, very exhilarating, and a great team or family activity.
I suspect it’s most exhilarating for those of us who aren’t naturally inclined to hurl ourselves along a rope at a great height, but even for the less faint-​hearted, challenges await, as there are five levels, the last one for over-​15s only, and from what I could see from solid earth, it involves basically cycling across the face of the sun. On a tightrope. Or something like that.
It’s less than an hour from the city centre, in the beautiful forest of Tibradden, and the staff are great — very attentive, friendly, and clearly keeping a close eye (you are glad to know).
You’re safe at all times, and it is reassuring to know that you can not for a moment, due to your own stupidity, become unsafe, as you are double clipped on, and one of those is always locked.
Give yourself plenty of time, especially if it’s your first time (and this applies especially for kids who will be trying hard to put on a brave face), as it takes some getting used to, and confidence builds as you go, so best not to rush it. But for an injection of family togetherness, zip lining if highly recommended, as naturally you go through highs and lows and figure out the journey together, one in which you’re destined to prosper. In fact, maybe zip lining is the positive life metaphor we’re all searching for. Relationship coming apart at the edges? Fly from tree to tree together for a few hours and you’ll be all fixed in no time. Worried your staff don’t like you? Bring them zip lining and up to Johnnie Foxes afterwards and watch your popularity levels soar to treetop heights.
It’s very much a case of feel the fear and do it anyway. And what a high, in every sense, when you do.
For to adults and two kids it works out around 90 quid, but you can stay as long as you like, so make a day of it, bring a picnic and enjoy.
Small thing: Toilet facilities are not great, it’s a portaloo job, and they could have been better kept. Tip: bring your own tissues.

Great way to spend a Sunday I must say!
27 euro well spent. There are I think 5 different courses all together, so you could spend nearly a full day here if you wanted. They increase in height (though maybe not so much difficulty) as you go on, so if you only had a few hours, and aren’t too afraid of medium-​heights, I’d recommend starting half way through at least.
My other recommendation would be to get up there as early as possible as the queues seem to build and build around the middle of the day, which is a bit of a buzz kill to be honest.
It gets freezing too as it’s so high up, so definitely bring lots of layers, and a hat, and gloves, and a definitely hot drink in a flask as they don’t sell any there for some reason!
Aside from all that, the instructors are all very nice and well versed, and the location is top notch. It’s not very difficult, besides the very last one, so I’d definitely recommend it for all types and ages.

Super fun! Great spot for an active day in nature. Professional team, very helpful. All well organised. And I love the forest around. Recommended to everyone from 8 to 80 years old.
