Zipline Tours – Are you looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush? The Vail Valley offers great white-knuckle thrill rides like the Alpine Coaster, the Swing Shot, zip lines, bungee trampolines, rock climbing walls and an alpine slide. All of these activities are safe and loads of fun but are not for the faint of heart.
Train Rides – The historic mining town of Leadville, Colorado is only a short, scenic drive from the Vail Valley. Spectacular views and volumes of living history await you. Winding through this breathtaking, historically rich landscape is the Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad.
Originating in “the highest incorporated city in North America,” the LC&S takes passengers along the old Denver, South Park & Pacific and Colorado & Southern lines to the Continental Divide. This ride is full of breath-taking panoramas across the Arkansas River Valley and informational narratives about Leadville’s storied history. Mining and railroading were a large part of the local history, and today’s passengers will find it easy to step back in time. In summer, there are themed rides such as murder mystery rides or wildflower viewing rides. Call ahead for their schedule.
These family activities are targeted for entire families – for kids of all ages and young children. They may be specifically geared to children under 14.
