Around the Globe in Zip Lines

Flightline Safari

Flightline Safari, located in San Diego, California, isn’t like most of the other zip lines on this list. For one, it doesn’t run at top speeds, and it’s only about 130 feet from the ground. The thing that makes this zip line a bit different is the fact that it’s located right above the San Diego Zoo.

As you soar over the zoo grounds, you’ll get to see animals from a different vantage point, taking in their enclosures and habitats from above. Flightline Safari also offers the option to record your flight on a helmet camera, so that you can relive the excitement later. The zip line drops riders at Kilima Point, about 2/3rds of a mile away from the launch pad.
