Frequently Asked Questions

HighFlyer is the only zipline in Connecticut, New York, Boston, or anywhere else in North America that lets you fly from the top of a 32 story hotel tower and lands you on the ground nearly a mile away. Our zipline was created for all ages, and weights, this means that no 2 flights are the same. The landing crew is trained to retrieve a guest anywhere that you stop. There’s no other experience like it!
