5. Fins Course zipline tour at Seven Falls

Three hours of ziplining in Colorado Springs over unique rock formations and canyon drops, including 5 lines, 2 suspension bridges, and a controlled 180-ft rappel.

“My twin 13-year-old sons enjoyed an amazing morning adventure. The check-in process was straightforward, and the staff were professional and supportive. While the tour was ongoing, my husband and I explored the Broadmoor and later met the tour at Seven Falls. We parked and took a shuttle from the parking area, though I’m unsure if there was a direct shuttle from the Broadmoor. My kids had a fantastic time and received water at each stop along the course. With just six participants, they completed it in about two hours. Although they wore sunscreen, they still got a bit of sunburn since there’s little shade on the course. This experience included a short hike to the first zip line, a suspension bridge, several lines over the canyon, and a final rappel. The views captured in the photos and videos were stunning, making it far more than an ordinary zip line tour.”— Camper56285717507
