Zip World Penrhyn Quarry is built around adventure, not general admission wandering. You pick the experience you want, book a time slot, and head straight into the quarry for a fast-paced outdoor session.
Velocity is the headline attraction and sends riders flying at up to 100mph+ across the quarry. If you want something shorter or more accessible, Quarry Flyer offers a smaller zip line experience across two zip zones.
Quarry Karts is a 3km downhill mountain kart experience with two goes included, plus obstacles like tunnels, berms and chicanes. If you want something less adrenaline-led, the Penrhyn Quarry Tour gives visitors a closer look at the history of this former slate quarry.
Velocity is the world’s fastest zip line and the longest in the UK. The full experience takes around 2 hours from start to finish and includes two zip zones, a truck ride up the mountain and speeds of up to 100mph+.
Quarry Flyer and Aero Explorer are good options if you want a shorter session. Quarry Flyer takes up to 45 minutes across two 100m zip zones, while Aero Explorer covers a 400m overhead track and includes two rides.
During off-peak months (October to March), opening days and adventure availability may vary. Check the booking calendar for your specific date before planning your visit. The site is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
