The Zipline At Gators And Friends In Louisiana Is The Longest, Steepest, And Highest In The State

Do you have a need for speed? Well, you're in luck because there's a very special zipline in northern Louisiana that attracts adrenaline junkies from all over, looking to chase the thrill of soaring through the treetops with the wind in their hair. There's a little twist at the end of the zipline that might just require a little extra bravery to get through. Think you could do it?

Welcome to Gators & Friends, an exotic petting zoo and alligator farm in northern Louisiana that’s fun for the whole family.

Established in 2006, Gators & Friends is home to over 150 alligators. Kids and adults will love learning about these beautiful creatures.

But there's more than just gators. After you’ve marveled at gators galore, head on over to the exotic animal petting zoo.

These cuddly buddies are always in the mood for some love (and food).

You’ll get to interact with exotic animals like capybara, ring-tailed lemurs, llamas, kangaroos, and more!

But the main event is yet to come…

For a truly thrilling experience, take a ride on their extensive zipline that will have you soaring all over the park.

The seven-line zipline course will take about an hour and a half to complete, but if that’s too intense, you can always go with the shorter, four-line course which will take about 45 minutes.

You'll have some training beforehand, and a trained instructor with you at every step of the course.

Nowhere else in Louisiana can you soar over camels, llamas, and gators…

Yep! That’s right! Your final 750 feet of the zipline course will have you flying over the live alligator pond. Did we mention there are over 150 alligators?

The four-course is $34.95 + tax. The seven-line zipline is $59.95 + tax and includes free admission to the park and a cup of animal feed. It's worth every penny for the experience of a lifetime!
