Wolfe Creek Wednesday: Half-Day Adventures

Posted: April 17th, 2013 in Wolfe Creek Wednesdays

This post is a part of a series on our blog called “Wolfe Creek Wednesday”. Each Wednesday, we’ll be posting a fun fact, story, or a newsworthy piece of information about Wolfe Creek Preserve that we think you’ll find interesting! Although we’re best known for our world-class zipline course, our beautiful facility is also home to an array of indoor and outdoor activities, rich history, and a natural setting that we take great care to protect. We’re excited to have you join us each Wednesday so we can share more about our mission to make Wolfe Creek Preserve a place where people of all ages can have fun adventures and make lasting memories with loved ones!

Customize Your Own Half-Day Adventure!
We’re sure that you are as excited as we are about the beautiful weather: buds on trees unfolding, flowers blooming in brilliant colors, and skies filled with sunshine. The warm spring weather is perfect for ziplining, especially since on our zipline or hiking tours you have the chance to get up close and personal with nature. Whether you elect to zipline to see the lush skyline or hike with Safari Dan to get a slower-paced glance at delicate spring flowers, Wolfe Creek Preserve is the place to be in this beautiful weather. Today, we’d like to share some ways that you and all of your friends, family, co-workers, fellow Girl/Boy Scouts, church group, or sports team can spend a fun day at Wolfe Creek Preserve this spring or any season beyond!

We work with groups of any size to create a day or half-day at Wolfe Creek Preserve that suits you best. All you have to do to attain the outing or event of your dreams is to call our sales manager, Wes, at (800) 717-0998 to get started. So you know what to expect on the phone and the endless possibilities that await you, we’ve listed most of our activities and dining options below so that you can get excited about planning a group event to be held at Wolfe Creek Preserve this year! With the temperatures gradually warming and the scenery growing more vibrant each day, we can’t think of a better season to plan a fun group event for people you know or love.

Guidelines for planning the best event ever: scroll through the options listed below and select a few activities and a tentative catering option. If you’re worried that certain people in your tour will want to zipline and others won’t, don’t worry! Half of your group can participate in one activity and half the group in another and then you can all meet up for a delicious lunch or dinner under one of our gorgeous meeting spaces. Additionally, if you don’t see a catering option that you love below, just tell Wes what you’d love and he’ll work with the restaurant or company you choose to cater the food you want!

Activities

Ziplining: if you’ve checked out our website, driven past our beautiful zipline course, or visited us before, we’re sure you’ve noted that we’re a world-renowned zipline course. Our zipline course is historically themed and incorporates stories from the Wolfe family who used to live on the land that we now cherish. You’ll hear the stories of the Wolfe Family on each of the towers before soaring into a beautiful Ozark Mountain skyline ahead. We have many different zipline tours available depending on how long you’d like to zip, and whether or not you would like to include our fun and exhilarating Blue Streak Fast Line and Free Fall Xpress. You can read all about our zipline tours here in order to select one (or a few) that fit the needs of your group.

Wolfe Creek Photo Safari Guided Walking Tour: ever seen the man in the safari hat on our billboards? No matter if you have or not, we’re sure that you’ll want to meet him in person! Safari Dan is our resident expert on nature, animals, trees, flowers, the weather - you name it, he knows it. Safari Dan or one of our expert guides leads a relaxing hike down Wolfe Creek Mountain that our visitors rave about. To get to the top of Wolfe Creek Mountain, you’ll take one of our Pinzgauer vehicles. Once you’re at the top, you’ll follow a gently winding path through towering trees that are protected by our Forest Management plan. Safari Dan will point out historical features of the property, as well as any wildlife that might be roaming during your tour. The hike features a mid-mountain snack break so that you and guests can sit down and truly soak in the natural beauty surrounding you.

Ol’ Blue Gemstone Mining: as you explore Wolfe Creek Preserve, you’ll probably see remnants of mining attempts left behind by Isaac Wolfe, the historic owner of the property. He had lofty goals to strike it rich by mining for gold so he started a mining operation where our zipline course and hiking trails are today. In order to honor the history of the land and offer a fun activity for anyone who wants to participate in a historic and fun-filled activity, we’ve built the Ol’ Blue Mining station where you can sift and search for precious gemstones.

Shopping: ever visited Wolfe Creek Station? Wolfe Creek Station is our store on-site that offers more merchandise than we could ever hope to describe. From Amish preserves to wool hats to stuffed animals to hand-crafted jewelry to antique toys to natural soaps, we’ve got it all - and more!! We also sell official Wolfe Creek merchandise to commemorate your adventure. Whether you peruse the goods while waiting for your tour to start or simply spend the day shopping, there is enough merchandise to keep you satisfied until the dinner bell rings!

Food

Maybe you’re wondering what to eat. Or when to eat. Or where to eat! We’ve got answers to all of those questions! A convenient feature of any option you choose is that all of our meals are catered on-site! This makes it so that you and your group have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a catered meal together without having to drive all over town looking for a restaurant everyone will enjoy. Our eating spaces are set up so that you can kick back, relax, and really enjoy the time that you spend with your guests, without having to worry about traveling to a restaurant, making reservations, or finding food that everyone will enjoy.

First, what to eat? In the mood for for chips, salsa, guacamole and queso? Or a mouth watering pulled-pork sandwich while watching the sunset? Or a line-up of pizzas with different toppings? Or just a classic sandwich and chips at your midday break? We can do any of these options and more!! Whether you’re in the mood for a customized burrito or a double cheeseburger and fries, we’ve got you covered.  Here are a list of restaurant and catering options that we’ve worked with before: Qdoba, Little Caesar’s Pizza, Panera Bread, Danna’s BBQ, Golden Corral, and Coyote’s Adobe Cafe. Many of these restaurants offer options for a variety of dietary needs, so be sure you ask Wes what types of meals they cater when you call. Additionally, if none of these catering options look perfect to you, we are more than happy to cater food from any restaurant or service that you choose! There are many restaurants in the Branson area that offer an endless variety of food options. If you tell Wes the type of food you’d like to have catered, or even the exact name of a restaurant, he’ll do his best to provide the food that you’d like for your event!

When to eat? Good question, and we think you’ll love the answer: whenever you want!! The beauty of our customizable events is that you can eat at a time that works best with your vision for the day. Want to get out early and zipline in the morning? Eat lunch on the property! Or, eat lunch and then take a leisurely hike with Safari Dan. Thinking a sunset-sky dinner would be nice? Zipline and hike in the afternoon and then meet for dinner. The possibilities are endless - you just have to choose a time that works for you and your group and we’ll take care of the logistics!

Where to eat? Share exciting moments from the day, sightings of wildlife, and funny stories in one of our beautiful gathering spaces as you dine on delicious food. When you tell Wes how many people are in your group, he’ll guide you to choose either our Xplorer Balcony or our Prospector Pavilion. Both areas are made of beautiful wood, offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, flora and fauna, and are covered to keep you and fellow guests sheltered from the elements.

________________________________________________________________________________________

No matter what kind of event you want to host - party, convention outing, team dinner, engagement party, church group function - we just want to make the event the best that it can be. We believe that we’re the best place to host events not only because of our world-renowned zipline course, stunning natural setting, and exciting activities, but because we genuinely love working with visitors to create one-of-a-kind experiences that facilitate memories that last a lifetime. So, take advantage of the beautiful spring or summer weather and call Wes today at (800) 717-0998 to start planning your event. It’s never too early - we book up quickly in these months of sunshine so be sure you call today even if your event seems far away! We look forward to seeing you and your guests at Wolfe Creek Preserve sometime soon!

Wolfe Creek Wednesday: The Ride of a Lifetime

Posted: April 10th, 2013 in Wolfe Creek Wednesdays

This post is a part of a series on our blog called “Wolfe Creek Wednesday”. Each Wednesday, we’ll be posting a fun fact, story, or a newsworthy piece of information about Wolfe Creek Preserve that we think you’ll find interesting! Although we’re best known for our world-class zipline course, our beautiful facility is also home to an array of indoor and outdoor activities, rich history, and a natural setting that we take great care to protect. We’re excited to have you join us each Wednesday so we can share more about our mission to make Wolfe Creek Preserve a place where people of all ages can have fun adventures and make lasting memories with loved ones!

Pinzgauers on the Preserve
Think that ziplining at Wolfe Creek Preserve is the most exciting ride you’ll experience when you visit us? You might be surprised by how much you’ll love the ride to the top of Wolfe Mountain in one of our rugged six-wheeled off-road Pinzgauer Swiss Military Troop Carriers. Whether you’re ziplining or embarking on a relaxing hike through nature, one of our certified drivers will drive you to your take off point in a vehicle as outdoorsy as we are!

The original prototype for the Pinzgauer vehicle was created in 1969 and after perfecting the vehicle, production began in 1971. Militaries in countries across the world saw the potential in such a durable vehicle that could carry many passengers, so places such as Switzerland, Thailand, and Austria began using Pinzgauers to carry soldiers and army supplies. Pinzgauer vehicles can carry up to 2 tons, seat troops of soliders, and can climb 45 degree inclines. When we heard these statistics, we knew that these Pinzgauer vehicles would be perfect for safely transporting guests and guides to the top of Wolfe Creek Mountain to begin tours!

Rather than tiring guides and guests out by making them walk to the top of the mountain, we love the convenience and fun that the Pinzgauer vehicles bring to each tour. Guests and guides alike love winding up the mountain in such a rugged vehicle, looking out the open air windows of the vehicle at the abundance of trees whizzing past, catching glimpses of fellow zipliners soaring through the skies, and climbing higher into the Ozark skyline. Though the drive to the top of the mountain only lasts a few minutes, our Pinzgauer vehicles make the ride exciting and fun because you have the opportunity to ride in a vehicle that outdoor-enthusiasts and car-fanatics dream about! Also, you’ll be sharing the backseat with thirteen of your friends or fellow zipliners so it’s a chance to warm up for the zipline or hiking adventure that you’ll begin once you reach the top of the mountain!

All in all, the Pinzgauer ride to the top of Wolfe Mountain is an authentic adventure just like everything else at Wolfe Creek Preserve; full of fun, outdoors, and excitement! Whether you choose to zipline on our world-renowned zipline course, take a hike down Wolfe Mountain, mine for gemstones at our Ol’ Blue Mining Station, host a truly memorable party at the Prospector Pavilion, or simply kick your feet up and relax on one of our rustic but expansive observation decks, you’ll cherish the time that you get to spend with family and friends while at Wolfe Creek Preserve. We love providing unique, authentic experiences for family, friends, co-workers, teammates, and more, and our Pinzgauer vehicles are only one aspect of the incredible opportunities we offer for outdoor adventure at Wolfe Creek Preserve. Make sure that you experience a ride in one of these rugged vehicles by coming out to visit us this year! If you’re interested in booking a tour for your family and friends to come along with you and reserving one of our beautiful pavilions to spend time at after your tour, be sure you call Wes at (800) 717-0998 so that he can help you plan a customized adventure for your loved ones.

Wolfe Creek Wednesday: Come One, Come All!

Posted: April 3rd, 2013 in Wolfe Creek Wednesdays

This post is a part of a series on our blog called “Wolfe Creek Wednesday”. Each Wednesday, we’ll be posting a fun fact, story, or a newsworthy piece of information about Wolfe Creek Preserve that we think you’ll find interesting! Although we’re best known for our world-class zipline course, our beautiful facility is also home to an array of indoor and outdoor activities, rich history, and a natural setting that we take great care to protect. We’re excited to have you join us each Wednesday so we can share more about our mission to make Wolfe Creek Preserve a place where people of all ages can have fun adventures and make lasting memories with loved ones!

Whether you’re planning a romantic outing for two, a 75th  birthday party for forty or a corporate event for seventy, we’ve got you covered at Wolfe Creek Preserve. Today we’d like to take a little time to share different ways that groups of various sizes can enjoy our beautiful property, exhilarating zipline adventures, relaxing walks through nature, and food that everyone will enjoy! All you have to do is gather your loved ones, friends, or co-workers and arrive at Wolfe Creek Preserve for a day full of whatever activities sound most fun to you! For now, just kick back, relax, and enjoy reading about ideas we have to help groups of any number of people experience a day they’ll never forget!

A Romantic Outing
Number of guests: 2
Picture this: your significant other asks you to go ziplining for an afternoon so you slip on a comfy pair of sneakers and gear up for an afternoon of fun. The two of you peruse the gift shop and then ride in one of our Pinzgauer vehicles to the top of Wolfe Creek Mountain. Once at the top of the mountain, your significant other will zip before you. As you soar into the platform, you’ll be greeted by an engagement ring and a proposal to embark on the adventure of a lifetime - marriage! We’ve had countless couples get engaged at Wolfe Creek Preserve. If you notify us before, we’ll do our best to work with you and make the experience as special and personalized as possible. Plus, if you notify Wes far enough in advance, he can even organize one of our balconies for you to host a small gathering of loved ones to celebrate the engagement with food and festivities afterward! (And, if guests are looking for a rock for their hand, we’ve got our fun Ole’ Blue mining station where anyone can search for the precious gem of their dreams).

Not only is Wolfe Creek a perfect place for engagements, but also for couples of any age or stage in life. Our breathtaking scenery, world class Zipline Canopy tours, refreshing snack break, and exciting zipline adventure are all excellent ways to really bond with your significant other and make memories that last forever. We love hosting couples on their first date to couples that are celebrating their fiftieth anniversaries and beyond!

A Birthday Party
Number of Guests: 10-20
Maybe it’s your thirteenth birthday. Or your seventy- fifth. Or you’re losing count. No matter how old you’ll be this year, consider hosting a birthday bash as exciting as you are! The number of guests listed above is just a suggestion - whether you’d like to host a party with five of your closest friends or sixty of your friends from class, we’d love to celebrate with you! An aspect of Wolfe Creek Preserve that people don’t often realize is how flexible we are when it comes to planning activities. If some people attending your party would like to take a hike next to Wolfe Creek and others want to experience the world-renowned zipline course, we can make that happen! Every guest can create an experience at Wolfe Creek Preserve that they will cherish and remember. And, even if guests choose different activities for a few hours, we have beautiful spaces to meet up and get the real party started! If your party has less than 30 guests, our Xplorer Balcony is perched in just the right location. With a birds-eye view of the entire zipline course, stunning mountain silhouettes, and enough covered space for guests to eat and mingle comfortably, this space is perfect for cutting your cake and eating it, too! If your party has more than 30 guests, see the Corporate option below to get an idea of what our stunning Prospector Pavilion is like.

Again, whether you’re turning ninety-nine or just feelin’ twenty-two like Taylor Swift, come on out to Wolfe Creek Preserve and we’ll help you host a party that no one will forget.

Corporate Outings
Number of Guests: 30-60
Walking around the office, you see a lot of your co-workers hunched over in their cubicles, working on the latest project or proposal. Your boss has a stack of papers that rivals the height of her head and the stack of papers on your own desk doesn’t look much better. If that’s how your office looks, you need to get out and experience a day of teambuilding fun that will strengthen your company and boost morale at the workplace. Any successful business understands that happy, healthy employees are necessary for optimum productivity in the workplace, so why not take a mental health day with the whole company and come out to Wolfe Creek Preserve?

Whether you and your co-workers need to spice up cubicle life with an adventurous ride through the treetops or unwind from office stress by taking a leisurely walk through nature, we’ve got everything you need. Many different companies come to us at the end of quarters to celebrate their accomplishments and set goals for the upcoming months. Our beautiful Amish-Built Prospector Pavilion is equipped with an array of timber-wood picnic tables and a protective covering so that you can eat and mingle in comfort. We offer a variety of catering options and our Sales Manager, Wes, is happy to work with groups to provide the best experience possible.

Long story short, no matter how many people you bring to Wolfe Creek Preserve, we are happy to host you and your guests. However, our incredible gathering spaces do sell-out quickly so be sure to call Wes today if you’d like to reserve either our Prospector Pavilion or our Xplorer Balcony for an upcoming event. In addition, keep in mind that these situations are just guidelines - we work with so many types of groups and people to count! If you’ve got a youth group, sports team, birthday party for ten, honeymoon plans, convention activity, or anything else, just give Wes a call at (800) 717-0998 and he’ll help you plan the perfect adventure!

Wolfe Creek Wednesday: Catering a Meal

Posted: March 21st, 2013 in Event Planning, Wolfe Creek Preserve, Wolfe Creek Wednesdays

This post is a part of a series on our blog called “Wolfe Creek Wednesday”. Each Wednesday, we’ll be posting a fun fact, story, or a newsworthy piece of information about Wolfe Creek Preserve that we think you’ll find interesting! Although we’re best known for our world-class zipline course, our beautiful facility is also home to an array of indoor and outdoor activities, rich history, and a natural setting that we take great care to protect. We’re excited to have you join us each Wednesday so we can share more about our mission to make Wolfe Creek Preserve a place where people of all ages can have fun adventures and make lasting memories with loved ones!

Catered Meals

Here at Wolfe Creek Preserve we are invested in creating memories that will last a lifetime. In order to do so, we love to bring families and friends together for activities that foster genuine interaction. On our property there are many different ways to spend quality time with the people that you love, some of which include ziplining, mining for precious gemstones, hiking through the beautiful Ozark wilderness and hunting for the perfect souvenir from our gift shop. In addition to all of these activities, we also have a more relaxing way to spend time in nature and with loved ones on our property: enjoying a meal in one of our peaceful pavilions.


There’s almost no better way to spend quality time with family or friends than the simple gesture of sharing a meal together. We love hosting guests after they've just completed an exhilarating day of ziplining or hiking in either our Xplorer Balcony or our Prospector Pavilion, depending on how many people are in the group. Both of our pavilions are covered in order to protect guest from the elements and are built from beautiful wood. The pavilions are rustic and inviting, just like the gorgeous natural setting around them. If you call in advance, you can work with our Sales Manager Wes to reserve one of these spaces. Along with ensuring that you have a space perfect for your guests, Wes will also coordinate food catering so that you and your family or friends can share a meal before or after enjoying any of the other activities at our world-renowned zipline facility. In addition to family and friends, these meeting spaces are also ideal for co-workers, conference-goers, church groups, youth groups, sports teams, parties and anniversary celebrations! Whether you have ten guests or one hundred, we work with you to create a space that best fits your needs.

Once, we even set up a temporary covered area in our parking lot and transformed the entire parking lot into a festive and beautiful space so a group of conference-goers could mingle and share a meal under a sunset sky. What we hope you realize is that our goal is to work with you to best understand your needs so that you have the best experience possible at Wolfe Creek Preserve.

 

At this point, you might be wondering what kind of food is available for you and guests to enjoy while spending a day at Wolfe Creek Preserve, and we have a great answer: nearly any food option or restaurant is possible if you call early enough in advance! Some great restaurants that we've worked with in the past have been Qdoba, Little Caesar’s Pizza, and Panera Bread. Whether your family loves sharing a hot and delicious pizza, eating individual-sized boxed lunches from Panera like turkey, ham, or roast beef sandwiches, or sitting around one of our rustic picnic tables dipping chips into a big bowl of queso, we have any option you could imagine! With a wide variety that comes from restaurants like Qdoba (with steak, chicken, or vegetarian boxed lunches), we also offer catering services from incredible local and national restaurants such as Danna’s BBQ, Golden Corral, and Coyote’s Adobe Cafe. From classic barbecue sandwiches and fries to burritos brimming with fresh ingredients, we have almost any food that you could want after a great day of ziplining or hiking with us. And, if you don’t see any restaurants or food that you and your guests would enjoy on this list, Wes is more than happy to work with you to provide a catered meal that your entire group will love!

If you’re looking for a great way to spend a birthday, anniversary, company outing or just a special day out with family and friends, be sure to call Wes at (800) 717-0998 to share what your goals for your time here at Wolfe Creek Preserve. Once you call Wes and let him know what kinds of activities you’d like to participate in and what appetizing meal sounds best to you, he’ll take over the planning and you can just kick back, relax, and get ready to experience the beauty of the Ozarks in a way that you never have before during your visit to Branson Zipline.

13 Reasons to Visit Wolfe Creek Preserve in 2013!

Posted: March 8th, 2013 in Event Planning, Safari Dan, What's Happening, Wolfe Creek Preserve, Wolfe Creek Station

If you follow our Facebook Page, our website, or our blog, you probably are very excited that we are now open for the 2013 season!! Don’t let the year zip past you - head out to Wolfe Creek Preserve today for a fun day of zipline adventure, hiking through the gorgeous Ozark Mountains, a shopping excursion, and much, much more. We are so excited to welcome both new and returning visitors to our world-renowned facility and thought it would be fun to give you thirteen reasons to come visit us in 2013!!

1. Ziplining: it’s hard to top a zipline course as incredible as the one we have here at Branson Zipline. Not only does our course attain top-safety ratings among the experts, but it is also completely hands-free, meaning that you don’t have to brake. All we expect you to do while ziplining with us is kick back, relax, and have the time of your life with family and friends! We have several different tours that vary in length so be sure to check out our tours page on the website to figure out which one works best for you and your needs!

2. New Merchandise: we shopped until we dropped at an amazing wholesale market in Atlanta during the month of January! The result: an unbelievable merchandise selection at Wolfe Creek Station, the gift shop on site here at Wolfe Creek Preserve. We always pride ourselves in offering guests a fun and unique shopping experience, but we’ve really outdone ourselves this year! Be sure to check out the gift shop during your visit to Wolfe Creek Preserve to check it out for yourself.

3. Birthday Parties: we know that you’re going to have a birthday at some point during the year, so be sure to plan a party that you and your guests will never forget by hosting it at Wolfe Creek Preserve! We have a beautiful, Amish built, covered pavilion that seats 70+ guests and is a great spot for enjoying a meal and opening presents after ziplining.  If you have  smaller group you can reserve the Xplorer Balcony, our elevated, covered observation deck that will give your group privacy for a picnic or gathering while staying in the action. In addition, our Sales Manager Wes will work with you to create a completely individualized event plan, including catering, so be sure to call him today and let him know your birthday wish!

4. History: whether or not you’re from the Ozarks, we think it’s neat to learn the history of any place, which is why our zipline course is themed and based on the family history of our land. To sum it up, an adventurous family called the Wolfe family lived on our property many, many years ago. Isaac Wolfe, the father, was a world-traveler and adventurer who endeavored to mine the land and strike it rich. His wife, Sarah, put up with his antics and took care of the family. Isaac and Sarah’s son, Eli, was as adventurous as his father; our guides will tell you stories of how he tried to build his own zipline course, and how he attempted to climb Mount Everest! Join us on any of our zipline tours or our Wolfe Creek Photo Safari and Nature Walk to hear more history of the Wolfe Family and the land.

5. Enjoy the Great Outdoors: one of our passions is introducing people of all ages and backgrounds to the beautiful outdoors. We love immersing people in the beauty of the Ozark Mountains, whether it be by zipping through the treetops, taking a leisurely stroll around the property, or simply by reclining on one of our balconies and watching the sunset. It’s not hard to find a breathtaking natural setting when you come visit us; our property is not only a zipline course, but is also a 33 acre wildlife preserve, protected by a Forestry Management Plan. This means that we are committed to preserving the natural elements of the land for generations to come!

6. Our Guides: professional trained, energetic, outdoorsy, friendly, upbeat, adventurous...need we say more? Our guides love helping visitors have the best experience possible while at Wolfe Creek Preserve and undergo extensive safety training to do so. If you think that being a guide sounds like something that you or a friend would be great at, hurry up and  have them apply at our website! There’s still time to apply for the most fun job you could hope for, along with the opportunity to make hundreds of visitors smile each day!

7. Ol’ Blue Gemstone Mining: maybe you play the lottery or dream of trying out for a game show in hopes of winning the jackpot. Try your luck at Wolfe Creek Preserve by mining for precious gemstones at our mine, Ole’ Blue. It’s fun for everyone!
8. Safari Dan: come out and meet Safari Dan, our resident expert on plants, trees, animals, and nature in general. You can easily spot him while visiting us just by looking for his signature safari hat that he’s rarely seen without. Safari Dan leads our Photo Safari and Nature Walk Tours that allow families to take photographs of friends or family while ziplining and take a relaxing stroll through the Wolfe Creek Property. Safari Dan also loves to guide groups through the wilderness; in the past, he’s led boy scouts on adventures through the forest, and is available to help any group learn more about the outdoors should you be interested in arranging such a tour!

9. Ride in a Pinzgauer: if you’ve never ridden in one of these Swiss Military Troop Carriers, you need to come out to Wolfe Creek Preserve just to experience a rugged ride up the mountain. These six-wheeled, off-road vehicles carry visitors to the top of the mountain where zipline and walking tours begin, which means you never have to walk to the top of Wolfe Creek Mountain!
10. Family Reunions: maybe you’ve been meaning to plan a family reunion but just can’t seem to find the time. Problem solved! Work with our wonderful Sales Manager, Wes, to plan a family reunion that everyone will love and remember. All you have to do is call Wes at (800) 717-0998  and let him know your preferences and ideas for the gathering, and he’ll take care of the rest! Between ziplining, shopping, mining, hiking, eating, and relaxing, there’s something for people of all ages and interests here, which means we can accommodate any family!

11. Wolfe Creek Photo Safari Walking Tour: not only can you zip through the treetops, but you can experience the outdoors while keeping both feet on the group, too. We offer incredible guided, low impact hiking paths through Wolfe Creek Preserve. Safari Dan or one of our great guides will lead you on a tour of the land, pointing out various flora and fauna, remnants of the Wolfe family’s existence on the land, and guests as they soar above you in the air! We offer a mid-mountain snack and water break so you can kick your feet up, and relax in the middle of the woods. It’s the perfect outing for everyone!

12. Adrenaline Rush: if you’re an adrenaline junkie, or just love an occasional spurt of excitement in your life, we’ve got a one-of-a-kind opportunity for adventure with our Blue Streak Fast Line and Free Fall Xpress. You can add this short tour to the end of any zipline tour, or just participate in this tour by itself. This tour is exhilarating and begins with a long zip toward a platform that sits 150 feet above the ground. Once on the platform, you can walk off the edge and experience the sensation of freefalling as you drop, slowing immensely before setting your feet gently on the ground.

13. Night Tours: are you a night owl? Or an adventure-seeker? Either way, we’d love to have you join us on one of our night tours. Our guides don headlamps and lead you through an exciting journey through the starry sky. It’s a one-of-a-kind adventure that you have to experience! Check out our Prospector Tour in the Dark or our Xplorer Tour in the Dark to see which one fits you and your group best.

We’ve had an incredible first few days of ziplining already and can’t wait to share the fun with everyone who comes out to Wolfe Creek Preserve this year. Whether you want to come zipline, hike, shop, mine, or just relax, be sure to bring friends and family with you to create special memories! If you’re interested in staying in the loop with Wolfe Creek events and news, be sure to check out our Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, or our Blog. Additionally, sign up for tours now so that we don’t run out of spots!

If you’re interested in working with us to host a birthday party, engagement party, corporate outing, family reunion, spring break trip, or any other event, please call Wes at (800) 717-0998 today to start talking about how we can help you make your event the best that it can be.

We can’t wait to see you in 2013!
