The Epic Zipline Near Buffalo That Will Take You On An Adventure Of A Lifetime
If you find yourself bored during spring break, look no further! Adventure awaits just over an hour south of Buffalo in Clymer, NY.

If you have a need for speed, the outdoor Aerial Adventure Course at Peek ‘n Peak Resort is the place to be.

If you're looking for a thrilling ride outside of an amusement park, head to Peek 'n Peak Resort for the Giant Dual Zipline!
The zip line course at Peek 'n Peak is 2,000 feet high and riders have been clocked at over 30 miles per hour on the ride! Along with being an adrenaline pumping experience, the zip line course also provides beautiful views of the resort and surrounding hills.
No experience necessary! All guides at Peek 'n Peak's Aerial Adventure Course are professionally trained and each participant is given adequate training before taking off on the ride of a lifetime.
If you're planning a visit to the resort for the zip line adventure, be sure to wear proper athletic gear: nothing that could get caught or ripped while you speed down the line, and closed-toe shoes.
Wanna race? The dual zipline layout is a unique experience, as you ride side-by-side with fellow participants! Visitors as young as seven can enjoy the fun, though riders must weigh at least 70 pounds and be four feet tall. (Max: 275 pounds and 6'6" tall)
No reservations are required to experience the Dual Zip Lines, though they are recommended - especially during the busy seasons! Groups of 15+ can also call ahead for a special group rate. Be prepared for the conditions: zip line rides are rarely cancelled during inclement weather, with the exception of severe thunder and lightning storms and strong winds. If for some reason your reservations need to be cancelled or changed by the resort, they will give you a call in advance so you can alter your plans!
You'll be tempted to document your ride on the zip line via camera or cell phone, but please leave those items behind. (Can you imagine a cracked phone screen from 2,000 feet in the air?) Skip the SnapChat and snap a selfie via Go-Pro instead like this smart participant!
If one ride just isn't enough, Peek 'n Peak offers an Adventure Pass for $69 (adults) and under which includes the adventure climb on the aerial adventure course, a ride on the dual zip line, two rides on the new "Soaring Eagle" ride, and unlimited chairlift rides. Make a day of it and enjoy the adventures!
