ZipZone Canopy Tours

I’ve zip lined among the Redwoods in Northern California many times, and I have to say, this was just as fun! Our group had a great time, and Jane and Stephen were excellent instructors! They also provide great discounts on their website so keep a lookout. Thank you for such a great time ZipZone! :)

If you’re looking to get your feet wet zip lining, this is an excellent course for beginners. Our guides, Stephen and Brie, were beaming with optimistic energy that made the experience more fun. Gear was very carefully prepped for our party before our reservation time, and the guides were very helpful getting us geared up and gave extremely clear instructions about everything that would happen in he course. I have never been zip lining before and I felt very comfortable.

This was our first experience with zip lining and we couldn’t have had a better time! Our guides, Heidi and Casey, were wonderful and the course was a beautiful escape from the busy city that it is hidden in!

I went with a group, which is what makes it the most fun, and we had the best time. We got a Groupon so check there first. The staff were awesome and fun. They know how to treat first timers. They were knowledgable of the equipment which made us feel safe. The course is really good. We even did some daredevil zipping! We ziplined on a 7 course. Put this on your list for family and friend fun. For the cost and location, I plan to return.

My boyfriend and I had a blast here. It was our first time and the staff wass super friendly, Tyler and Spencer took care of everyone very well. Everything was easily explained and we definitely felt like we were in great hands. We’re interested in coming back and checking out their night tours!
I would recommend this place for beginners.

I went with my family (mom, dad, and sister) on a lovely Saturday. Our reservation hadn’t posted through and the 1pm tour was all booked, they brought in an extra guide and gave the four of us a special tour. Because we only had four people our trip went a little faster than the other tours. That is was a positive for me. I liked that we kept moving. Jane and Neil were excellent guides and zip lining is fun without being too scary.
If you are looking for some fun and adventure in Columbus you should definitely check this place out. They are incredibly accommodating, helpful, and kind. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other tours.

«Don’t cry, there are women around» — thought to myself as I ascended into the trees.
Zip lines in Columbus?! Yes! How it is possible this is going on virtually unnoticed on Unilocal is beyond me. (Edit: just realized there are 23 filtered reviews for this biz, weird?)
«If I fall off this platform I will try to descend inverted so I knock myself out and have a pleasant trip to the hospital» — random thoughts waiting on the first platform.
People are soaring through the air in Columbus. There are scared people up in the trees! Some of them desperately need to use the restroom.

My wife has wanted to go «zip-​lining» for years. Luckily enough we have a small child at home I could use as an excuse that we did not have time to venture out to do such a silly thing as it would be too far to get away to such an activity. Have I mentioned I have a tremendous fear of heights? imagine my surprise at seeing a ZipZone tours sign while headed down Route 23, a mere 15 minute drive from our safe suburban home, on the ground. In a fit of bravery (stupidity?) I suggested we go dangle from small cables in the woods. Things would never be the same again.
«I want to hug this tree for the rest of my life» — frequent thoughts
ZipZone is located at Camp Mary Orton, a half mile north of 270 on 23. After suiting up and a very brief trek through the woods your feet leave the ground ascending stairs leading to a bridge to the first platform. You will not touch the ground again until the end of the fifth run, two hours later. Our tour day was quite chilly but at the height of fall colors. The beauty of the landscape continually pulled my eyes from my feet out toward the colorful tree canopy and inevitably down to the ground so far, far below.
«Should have peed BEFORE I climbed 50 feet into this tree with nowhere to go for 120 minutes» — thoughts
The tour consisted of 5 zip line runs and crossing 4 wooden, read swaying, suspension bridges. Each run differs greatly in terrain, length, speed. I found one common denominator, terror. To be honest the zip runs were an absolute blast, it was only standing on the smallish platforms with a dozen other people high in the trees that bothered me. Despite the fact we were never in any real danger and tied up in trees using equipment that could suspend several large automobiles, I could not escape the feeling that my potential energy wanted so bad to become kinetic in a damaging way.
«I’m way too tall for this, I hope I don’t clip any trees» — thoughts
My wife had a blast, as did all the people in our tour group. Our guides, Zak and Neil, were excellent and entertaining. If you go, get Zak and Neil, they are the best, there are none better. I have no way knowing this, but I’m sure it must be true. The facilities and equipment are all clean and look new. Even the souvenirs were not overpriced. Apparently they have a night time tour held on nights with a full moon. We’re probably going to go back and do that, did I mention I have a tremendous fear of heights?
Tip: Use the restroom before you suit up, seriously. I know you don’t have to go, try anyway. I’m not even joking, just go.

A few of my co-​workers and I loved getting out and zip lining! Lori and Jerrod were awesome guides and they made it safe and fun. The course includes awesome zip lines, with great views of the area below, and rope bridges that connect some of the platforms. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure in the Columbus area.

Great time. Took my 8 year old son and we both had a blast. Guides were excellent and even told us about some of the native trees. Fun and educational! I felt completely safe the entire time even when they even challenged us to walk across a bridge with no hands, in a non-​pushy way. Great facility and beautiful scenery, had no idea this existed just minutes from downtown Columbus. Best zip lining we have ever visited.

My brother found ZipZone. He is über safety freak, fire fighter, from Illinois, so in other words he is sort of a sissy. He was down here with his wife and my 9 year old nephew for a long weekend visit. Neither one of them had ever done a zip line before, but Jake is an adventurous young lad so my brother was confident he would do well. I was just watching, because I like to stay on the ground & I really thought it would be best as a father son/​thing, but really I mostly like to stay on the ground.
ZipZone was not the easiest place to find, but it is there… Look harder! The driveway is just to the north of Flint Road on the opposite side (west side) of High Street. It is a dirt road, leave your Ferrari at home.
The staff was very thorough, informative and fun during the orientation They balanced the seriousness of getting the equipment right with lighthearted fun so kids and first timers wouldn’t be overly worried about what they were getting ready to do.
The lead guide was fantastic, friendly and talkative. She engaged all of the «Zippers» and basically gave a lesson in Dendrology as people were enjoying themselves. I was impressed.
My brother, was also very impressed by ZipZones equipment, set ups, and attention to detail when it comes to safety. Again being a career firefighter, this is what he does for a living, deals with unsafe situations. If he would have seen anything that was the least bit sketchy he would have pulled the plug on the adventure. Not so, it was great and they had a great time. I’m sure it will be one of those «must dos» each time they come down for a visit. I am already thinking it will be super cool in the fall when the leaves are nice and colorful.
Maybe I’ll do it next time, It is tough to have your 9 year old nephew out «man» you.

So I’m copy/​pasting my review. I usually use Unilocal,but they had signs for TA so I started there.
I’m not a professional zip-​liner (a zipper?) but I’ve been to a number of them around Ohio and Indiana over the last few years, so I have some to compare to.
If anyone has done this before, you know that the guides have a ton to do with your experience. The group you’re with has a lot as well. Let me say that this zip line experience was easily one of the best I’ve had.
We showed up with our waivers already filled out and the reservations made (website = awesome). Pretty easy for the office crew (who were perfect, by the way) My only complaint at this point was «Hey, make the directions on the website easier to find, and make a point that the gravel road will add 10 minutes to the trip» Ok, not 10 minutes, but it does slow you hot rods down.
So we geared up and headed out on time, and really had a blast. Seriously, when the one lady I was sure was going to back out started giggling on the first zip… I knew this would be a good trip. For anyone that this is a first trip, or for those of you that have done this before — this is a good time.
The braking system they have setup is perfect. Being a little cocky, I decided to test them on the fist one and turn myself around. It didn’t matter, when they say it’s a fully guided tour, they mean it. You really can’t screw it up even if you try. And I tried.
So if you’re a first timer, or have a ton of experience, you will have a good time here. Just do it.
I had a great time, and you will too if you have a pulse. I will be back, probably for the moonlight zip — see you guys then.

We had a great time on our anniversary! It was a lot of fun. Especially enjoyed going backwards on the second to last run.
Will come back again in the future!

Awesome! John & Zak were fun guides, the zip lines and sky bridges were so much fun and the lady in the office was super sweet. Perfect outing, not too far away from home and completely worth the trip. Can’t wait to go back!
