What's On At Zip World Tower
Zip World Tower Colliery is built for families, older children and adventurous adults who want more than one type of thrill in one place. You can book a high-speed zip line, a family coaster, a confidence-building mini zip or a large climbing course, all on the same South Wales site.
Phoenix is the headline adventure if your group wants speed. It is the world’s fastest seated zip line and reaches up to 70mph across two separate zip zones.
Tower Coaster is the most family-friendly option for a broad age range. Riders aged 4+ can take on three runs around the track, with shared or solo carts depending on age and height rules.
Tower Flyer is a gentler introduction to zip lining, with three shorter seated zip lines and steady speeds. Tower Climber is the choice for groups who want a physical challenge, with a three-storey obstacle course and separate junior and main course access based on height.
