"Great Family Outing!!"

This was our first time ziplining and we had a great time. We have a 7 and 10 year old and they had a blast as well. We went for my husbands birthday and it was a great experience, he even received a free shirt for his birthday! Our guides Katie and Mark were amazing, super great with the kids and my scared self :) I was very impressed with the safety measures the staff took as well.

“A second visit this summer and every bit as much fun as the first one” - Reviewed September 30, 2015

After our visit in the spring, we told MANY friends about it. Our group was celebrating the year of 60/80 so yet another 80 year old mother wanted to try this. 7 of us went down on a Wednesday in September 4 veterans/3 newbies and EVERYONE was delighted. We did the same 5 lines but it was every bit as much fun as the first time. The staff is so friendly and very efficient. We cannot say enough about this place. We are already planning on next spring's visit - we ARE going to do another set of lines! Thanks Daron and Eman!! | Visited September 2015

"Exhilarating!”
My grand-kids wanted to go Zip lining over spring break. None of us had ever done this. I am Extremely pleased that I picked Explore Brown County! BILLY & DON we're our guides. They made the day exceptional. They made us feel more relaxed and completely safe and secure. I don't think the smile left my face all afternoon! They also tried to direct us in ways we would add to our fun. I am so grateful to them for making our first time unforgettable. I now can't wait to go back. YOU ROCK!
Thank you Billy & Don!! | Visited April 2017

“Totally Awesome Experience”

Reviewed June 2016

My son and I went zip lining today and had a totally awesome experience. First thing I noticed was how clean and tidy the place was. Then I noticed how friendly and informative the staff was, eager to assist and answer any and all questions and concerns. Most of all, I was impressed by our guides, Sydney and Mike. Their knowledge,along with attention to details, especially safety, is commendable and brings credit upon themselves and Explore Brown County at Valley Branch Retreat. I highly recommend this outfit and definitely plan a return visit. Keep up the good work guys. Visited June 2016

From Our Fans…

Three girlfriends & I traveled to Brown County to celebrate a milestone birthday by doing something out of our comfort zone. We signed up for a 2 hr zipline & while there, realized one friend was just as frightened of heights as I was. My 2nd friend was also a rookie & our other friend previously did a zip line, in Ohio. She was instrumental in convincing us to try it...and I have to say, we can't stop thanking her...it was an AWESOME experience ! Our fearless leaders with eXplore, Roo & Zach, made the entire adventure a total blast ! Both guys were not only entertaining, they were extremely patient, kept us calm, relaxed & laughing, which definitely helped me overcome my fear. "Thank you" to the employees who assisted with the reservation process & the zip leaders....all were professional, patient & helpful...and most of all, fun ! We will be back again within the next 12 months to enjoy another ride in the sky!
