Looking for a great zipline adventure? This Wisconsin site has you covered
As summer solstice approaches, it's prime time for vacations and USA TODAY's 2025 10Best Readers' Choice Awards are filled with suggestions of great vacation spots.
The awards for adventure tours include categories like best aerial adventure park, best boat tour, best fishing charter, best helicopter tour and best hot air balloon ride.
Wisconsin's Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventure Parks was voted one of the top 10 aerial adventure parks in the U.S.
To determine the list, a panel of industry experts was invited to nominate their favorite points of interest and attractions across a wide range of categories. Editors selected a final set of nominees to be presented to the public for voting. The voting period lasted four weeks.
Here's everything to know about Wisconsin's award-winning aerial adventure park:
The park, at N3232 County Road H in Lake Geneva, has nine ziplines on its 100-acre property. The full tour, with stops at all nine ziplines, takes 2½ hours to complete. It includes dual line racing, five sky bridges and four spiral staircases.
The fastest-moving zipline is 45 mph, and the longest zipline is 841 feet. There are also several other adventures available at the park, including a high ropes course, a climbing tower and a trail for hiking and biking.
