    The zip lines at AVA were super fun and the people are really nice. We had Megan and Blake as our…read moreinstructors, they were so funny and helped us have lots of fun on the zip lines. We rode on top of a truck up a mountain to the first line. AVA is so funny and I would definitely recommend doing it if you have time!

We had…read morebarely left the first tutorial line when one of our instructors began acting rude and short with us. We only made it halfway through our group before one of us got stuck on the second line. It took a few minutes to get them unstuck and over to the other side. After that, with no warning, the instructor told us to follow him and said we were going to hike back to the rest of the group. When I asked if something was wrong, he gave me no response. Once we rejoined the other half of our group, our other guide explained that our trip was being cancelled and that we'd need to hike back down. This was shocking and disappointing to all of us--especially the children in our party, who had travelled from out of state and specifically picked this zip-line as the thing they most wanted to do in Colorado. It wasn't worth the long drive just to get up there and have the plug pulled on us with no explanation. I will say the front desk was very kind and helpful. After hearing our account of what happened, they issued us a full refund. Overall, it was a disappointing trip that left all of us confused about what went wrong.

    I was dealt a terrifying experience while floating this "lazy river" this past Friday…read more My group was told this was a very relaxing, easy experience. We were told by staff that we "don't need to wear life jackets" because the water is so calm and easy. It was anything but. After the current picked up speed, I was met with a drop between large rocks. Unable to slow down or drift to the side and stop because of the current speed, I was whisked down the drop and my tube went flying out from underneath me. Attempting to hold onto my tube, I dislocated my shoulder and I am very thankful that was the worst of it. This place needs to encourage wearing life vests rather than encouraging folks NOT to. I am a decent swimmer and I got very lucky that I didn't hit my head on the rocks. Please please be especially aware of this warning before bringing your kids to this establishment. This "lazy river" was anything but. I should also add: as a very nice park ranger was driving me and my friends back to our car, one of the 2 staff members showed up and seeing me in a makeshift sling, clearly in severe pain, told me "just ice it and in a couple days it'll be fine." I spent the entire rest of the day at the hospital. Beware of this establishment.

    Great service, fun experience. It's a super easy stretch of river, so good for anyone. On and off…read morepoints clearly marked. Great fun for the whole family!

    When my friend from high school came out for a visit, my wife suggested we try out Denver…read moreAdventures ZipLine tour and my friend was willing to try it out. We did the six-line tour and had a great time. The staff of four was especially attentive to safety and helped us all get through everything from the slow short trainer line through the fast long line that starts from a platform atop a short stairway and runs over a quarter mile across the valley to another platform on a hillside. It was quite exhilerating! I've got another review out there for a ZipLine place that I tried out on Hawaii's big island. Having done experienced that course (including a half-mile zip over a beautiful waterfall) in Honolulu, the Denver course didn't seem quite as scary. That is both because I knew what to expect and also because the harnesses and pulley equipment seem to have improved drastically in the four years since I did my earlier Zip trip. I would also note that the scenery around the Denver Adventures course was actually prettier to look at, even while screaming across a few dozen yards of steel cable. There were a couple kids in our group who were around 10 years old and they had apparently done Zip trips in Costa Rica, Texas, and a few other places. They still seemed thrilled by the Denver course and had a great time. A bit of warning: I had no trouble with the preliminary and between-Zip hiking in Hawaii and that's because the altitude was 200ft above sea level. In contrast, the Denver hiking had me a bit winded and I learned (just before the final Zip) that the altitude was 8,600 feet. The kids and teenagers didn't seem to notice, but we adults clearly felt the altitude -- and the water stations along the route were quite welcome! To their credit, though, the staff appeared to be accustomed to working with all kinds of tourists and didn't make a deal of it at all.

    All in all a good zipline experience. Some good routes with high speed and great scenery. I…read morereally liked the long hop which was the 5th one I think. The group size seemed a little too big though. We had some pretty long waits at some of the platforms. At the later stages of the tour, the group merged with another and it seemed like there were at least 20 people waiting in line. BTW, I didn't like the heavy handed pitch to buy expensive water bottles and the time of registration either. Code: 4EB53B
