If itâs your first time visiting CLIMB Works, follow these top tips for ziplining in Gatlinburg with us:
1. Dress Appropriately for the Weather
The first tip is to make sure you dress appropriately for the weather. The last thing you want is your time to be ruined because youâre wearing something uncomfortable. We operate rain or shine, so make sure to wear something you donât mind getting a little wet because rain can come and go pretty quickly. We recommend that you donât wear any short shorts, dresses, skirts or baggy clothes. And make sure youâre wearing closed-toed shoes. No Chacos or Five Finger shoes are acceptable.
2. Leave Valuable Items at Home
The best thing to do is to leave all of your valuable items at home. Anything that you wouldnât want to get lost, just donât bring it with you! We offer complimentary lockers to hold your keys, wallets, and other small items but everything else should be left in the car or back where youâre staying. This is just to ensure you donât misplace any important items. We also do not allow you to have any unsecured items while youâre ziplining. Anything that can fall out, like keys and water bottles, are not allowed on the tour. This is to guarantee the safety of those working or traveling under our ziplines and platforms.
3. Make a Reservation
It is strongly recommended that you make a reservation for your zipline tour. You wouldnât want to build up your excitement only to get there and not be able to zipline because weâre booked! We always do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but there is never a guarantee we will have enough openings. Keep in mind that during busy seasons, you should make a reservation at least 5 days in advance, and we are closed on Sundays. To make a reservation, you can book online or call us at 865-325-8116.
