The highly rated reviews I've read on here give great info that I would echo. I found it a bit chilly and recommend long sleeves and pants, and shoes with a grip. I didn't realise it is self guided, so the training at the beginning is important. I felt completely safe the whole way through, and it added to the adventure. If you're planning on bringing kids make sure they are ok with dark spaces and being by themselves on platforms. Also, some of the connections were quite a reach. Overall had a fantastic time, the entire process is smooth and easy to follow, the staff are helpful, it was safe, and most importantly, it was a lot of fun!

This place is incredible! Not only has it reinvented the slate mine to be a fun place where you can do some really cool stuff but they're a strong local employer too. We did the caverns zip wire. Training in the first hour is really helpful and important and you have to complete it to be allowed on the course. The cavern zip wire is made up of 11 zip wires and you will be underground for three hours all altogether. We hadn't realised how much extra stuff comes with the zip wiring. You not only zip from bit to but but you also climb up little metal stairs, go through tunnels on your bum and crawl up spaces on your hands and knees. You have to be able to deal with being at height, being in slightly confined spaces and being physically tested. No one is going to rush you. I'm not fit or sure footed but i had a great time. Children (11 ish) were doing it easily. Good value for money. Staff were great. There is a dog kennel on site run separately do you can leave your dog with them for the time you're in the caverns if you book in advance.

Kids loved this but I would say a bit over priced. Better to join in if you can - not a great spectator experience. Overall a good time.
I came to zipworld last Saturday to go on Titan, and was very impressed! Well organised check in system and clear instructions on what would happen. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly even though I was absolutely terrified!(my2 friends on the other hand were chomping at the bit!)
I didn’t realise there were three parts to the zip line - so great value for money! Minibus to the top was fun, the three staff guys at the top were friendly and reassuring , even though my fear got the better of me and I couldn’t go through with it , I’d like to thank them all for being so friendly and patient! Especially the instructor who took me back down lol, I’ll be back hopefully soon and will conquer it as well as some of your other great activities!! 😊👍🏻

A new experience for our group. A whole ziplineparcours in an abandoned mine. The staffmembers ware very professional and gave us a good practise course and training about the zipping and climbing. You had to succeed two very easy training levels before you could enter the main parcours.
The main parcours was amazing. A nice change between zipping and climbing and other obstacles.
A bit expensive but you're almost 3 hours in the cavern, so good value for money. Worth a visit!
Yesterday I took a 13 and 14 year old to zip world caverns I think I slightly underestimated what was coming but I have to say the training was awesome giving me and the kids full confidence in what we were doing. We were all scared when heading to the main caverns but once you start there’s no going back and we just kept pushing forward as a team encouraging each other along the way. Definitely character building and the caverns are stunningly lit with different colours. The kids confidence grew that much that when we got to the end where you can choose monkey bars or tightrope then stairway to heaven and the last zip or finish there they wanted to go on the tightrope I of course couldn’t not go but was shaking like a leaf all the way across the thing but how fantastic was that we came out with smiles and anyone with teens knows that smiles are rare. All in all one of the best times had with the kids if I have to put a negative it would be for the burly group of men without any patience that caught our group up because we had an older couple in front of us who were a bit slower. But I don’t think we can blame zip world for them they should try to imagine what it would be like to do that experience with kids that want to enjoy it and they made them feel scared shouting and bouncing on bridges before we got off. All in all absolutely brilliant . Will defo go again well worth every penny .
