Zip-line Debuts at the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival!

Soar over festivalgoers on Broadway on our new Zip-line! 

For an amazing weekend of excitement and the best family entertainment value around, head for the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, August 31-September 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Broadway.  

Let the excitement begin with our new Zip-line! Zip-liners are safety harnessed, then climb a spiral staircase up to the crow’s nest 28 feet in the air. They are then attached to the zipline by our trained team via a redundant safety pulley and prepared for launch. Two at a time can zip side by side so not only will they enjoy the ride but also shriek in unison while in flight. Flying through the air reaching over 20 MPH they approach the specially designed power pack decelerator and come to a gradual stop. The smiles, laughter, and squeals say it all … it’s the thrill of a lifetime!

 For a real scream, you gotta try Waterballerz! Participants climb into a giant, clear inflatable ball which is filled with fresh air. The the ball is zipped up, which completely seals it, and they enter an inflatable pool that is 24 by 24 feet and literally walk (and roll) on water. Run, jump, bounce, walk inside the balls on water. As many as six balls can be in the pool at one time. This exciting new attraction is always a hit!

 The Zip-line and Waterballerz will be at the intersection of Taylor and Broadway, separate from the Kids’ Playland area.
