Zip World Is Open For Easter Adventures For All The Family

Zip World have announced they will be open across all four sites over the Easter holidays in April, including Zip World Tower in South Wales, and Zip World Fforest, Penrhyn Quarry and Llechwedd in North Wales.

As an adrenaline-fuelled outdoor adventure park, Zip World offers a hassle-free family day out. With a range of activities to choose from, including zip lines, treetop adventures, a roller coaster and underground exploring, the parks include a huge variety of activities for all ages to make the perfect day out over the holidays.

Each site includes delicious eateries offering meals and refreshments, and all three sites in North Wales are within a 45-minute drive from each other so a tour of multiple sites can be completed in one day.

Fly on the world’s fastest zip line

Zip World Penrhyn Quarry is home to Velocity 2, the fastest zip line in the world. Consisting of four parallel zip lines, families can travel through the air together at speeds of over 100mph while taking in spectacular Snowdonia scenery. For younger children, the Quarry Flyer offers a slightly less speed-fuelled alternative and prices start reasonably at £15 for entry during Easter.
