Treetop Trek inside Brevard Zoo - Melbourne (FL)

4 /5 Ryan B: Overall it was a great add on for the zoo. We did the canopy walk and zip lines. The $25 canopy walk over the animal enclosures was definitely worth the money. You get a lot closer to the animals than if you just walked through the exhibit. Most of the animals have walkways between enclosures so it was cool to see them running around. The challenges were medium and weren’t hard but there was a few that required some extra concentration. The $15 zip line was fun but not something we would do again. You do 2 zip lines over the wetlands and that’s it.

5 /5 Joerick Fuentes: That zipline was short but enjoyable! It had a good height, and I experienced a wonderful thrill. The staff were exceptionally kind and courteous. I felt very safe with all the equipment provided and the staffs constant monitoring. Overall, I would happily return and do it again!

3 /5 Anna Samoylenko: If youve been here a couple of years ago, experience has changed completely since then. The entrance is now inside the zoo so you need to purchase a zoo admission as well (they sell package deals on their website). Prices are different when you buy in person. You are required to bring one water bottle per group on Canopy Walk and one per person for Challenge (you can purchase it there for $5). Zip Line course is only 2 long zips across the water. Canopy walk is not hard at all, it is not an obstacle course, rather just plane wooden planks between the trees. If you want to sweat and have some fun, choose Challenge course, it will include the portion on the other island (previously full course).

5 /5 Ward Dougherty: A very cool experience in the heart of the zoo. This is located near the Everglades part of the Brevard Zoo which is the second major section to the right as you enter the zoo. You sign up at a covered pavilion where you can rent canoes for the Everglades Kayak experience. I have done the kayak several times and have enjoyed it. There are 3 choices for the ropes experience. The easiest one is the Canopy Walk at a cost of about $25/person and the admission to the zoo. You sign up for a time (if they are busy). We got there at a good time and could get right on. You will fill out a waiver electronically and come back at your appointed time. They will walk you over to a staging area and get you rigged up with a harness and helmet. The arrangement connects a large C-ring that follows a railing and is never disconnected while you are on the course. The course is 20 feet up in the trees, going over a section the Rainforest Revealed Loop at Brevard Zoo. You move through 20 elements. You need to be in good physical condition but it is not a hard course. The course was nice and unique and the staff was excellent. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting the zoo that would like a unique experience. Enjoy!

4 /5 Jason Megibow: I will recommend this place to go zip lining only because there is no other place closer to the West Palm Beach area. All in all, we had fun, and a 4 star rating is good... and some room for improvements. The ladders and platforms to get to the zip lines are safe, and you are always clipped in by harness. If you fall, you will only fall a foot or two, which is the length of the safety line to your harness. Yes, the ladders and platforms are safe and sturdy... but they feel sketchy as hell and look like they were built by kids making forts. The platforms only have room for two people, and I wondered if those platforms could hold the weight of three adults. I commended my kids for their bravery for conquering their fears. They werent afraid of the zip lines. Getting up the ladders and platforms is where they conquered fears. And, at the end of the day, we all had a great bonding experience helping each other along the way.
