The chill of winter is arriving fast, but Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours is still in full swing as we head into December. All across the canopy, visitors can view the last remnants of fall colors on the ground and in the trees as they zip from tower to tower. It’s quite a change from the summer heat, but we still encourage visitors to bring along a bottle of water to stay hydrated while they’re zipping.
When you aren’t on the ziplines, spend some time exploring our warm and cozy gift shop where there are plenty of gift ideas for the young and old. We provide a large variety of Amish foods, including fruit jams and jellies, for the family cook. Visitors can follow their nose as they browse through the sweet aromas of our candles, picking out the one that most suits their loved one. There are also several spices, including potpourri, that provide a festive and wonderful touch to the home. We have a selection of affordable jewelry as well, adding the elegance that your family member deserves, and for the little ones, we’ve filled a whole wagon full of fun stuffed animals, from the smallest to the biggest. The stuffed animals are sure to be a hit among the kids and grandkids!
If you need a few extra layers to stay warm, don’t forget to check out our t-shirts, long sleeved shirts, and sweatshirts, all sporting our logo in some shape or form. Our clothing makes a great souvenir to take back with you. Our zip lines already have limited availability for the month of December, so make sure you make reservations as soon as possible.
For this post, we have skipped over one of our towers (Homestead Tower) in an effort to highlight that the 
Today, we will be featuring the third tower located on the world-class Wolfe Creek Preserve – the Crow’s Nest. Aside from its unique design, this particular tower highlights tales of the Wolfe family’s international travels. For many years, Eli’s father, Isaac, traveled the high seas in search of adventure and fortune. And even before Eli himself was able to travel by boat he was mesmerized by the stories his father would bring home. Not surprisingly, in an attempt to be like his father Eli requested that he be allowed to build a “crow’s nest” instead of a tree house. And while the Crow’s Nest tower is considerably higher up than the original, it is a touching remembrance of Eli’s childhood and the affection he has for his father.
Continuing our look into the individual aspects of our zip line course on Wolfe Creek Preserve, we would like to feature our Lookout tower today.
At Wolfe Creek Preserve, we feature a variety of eco-adventure options ranging from a single zip line experience to encompassing tours that trek across the entirety of the course. And while we have become one of Branson’s hottest new attractions since opening in May, 2010, we have done little to highlight the individual aspects of the course. That is why we would like to take the time to feature in-depth the numerous zip line towers featured on property, immersing potential visitors into the story of Wolfe Creek Preserve and the humble beginnings that birthed Branson Zipline and Canopy Tours.
