- adam cotter 31/08/2026Absolutely rubbish unfortunately. Looked great from the advertisement but the tower coaster was rubbish and felt like a con as was over in seconds didnt really go through any woods or anywhere exciting I don't even think it went faster than 15 miles per hour. Food extortionate and over an hour and a half wait. Asked for 4 different drinks which where on the menu but they didnt have. Overpriced rubbish which is a shame would never come again. Much better places to go for your moneyread moreread less

- Ben 28/08/2026Had a fantastic experience here. We didn't pre book but with the rainy weather it was quieter. We came for the rollercoaster. Stayed in the cafe for a while too. Staff all around here were so friendly and helpful. Extra shout-out to Dylan on the rollercoaster for going to extra mile to make it even more fun for the kids. 🙏🏻read moreread lessDavid Turner 28/08/2026We had an absolute blast at this adventure spot thay the weather couldnt spoil! The check-in was smooth, and the facilities were spotless. The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout my visit. We really enjoyed the Phoenix and Tower Coaster rides, the views from them were spectacular, even through the rain.every member of staff we spoke to was polite with a cheery attitude which made the day that much more enjoyableread moreread less
- James Lynch 26/08/2026Good day out with excellent and friendly staff. Avoid the Bistro, it was not to the same standard. We found it unclean with sticky table tops and crumbs and pieces of food on the table. We chose three different tables and all the same. I would suggest you bring a picnic as there are available picnic tables.Male toilets could be cleaner, however a stainless steel trough urinal is unattractive at the best of times!The Tower Coaster is excellent value with three rides per ticket. Paying for the camera is recommended as the footage is highly amusing.The Zip Tower was used by our three children (11/12 and 8) and they found it a little scary at the higher levels.read moreread less
- Ionela Dogaru 25/08/2026We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Zip World Tower! I visited with my three children, aged 7, 9 and 13, and it was their first time trying adventures like these.We started with the Tower Coaster and then took on the Phoenix. They were definitely nervous at first, especially about the Phoenix, but the staff were so friendly and reassuring that they felt safe and encouraged throughout.By the end, all those nerves had turned into excitement – they enjoyed it so much that they wanted to do it all over again!It was such a special family experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Wales. We left with huge smiles and wonderful memories, and we would absolutely love to come back for another adventure. ❤️read moreread less
- Glen Vickers 21/08/2026All round great time here with two kids 11 and 8. 2x macanical break downs of the coaster ride put a real downer on thing, the organisation around this was not great not the front of house staff recovered the situation really well and ending up smiles all round. Would recommend and visit again.read moreread less
- Sophie Allwood (SA) 19/08/2026Fabulous day out. Something for everyone . Especially enjoyed the coaster karts. Thanks ever so much to Clare she was fantastic. Friendly , thoughtful and made sure we were looked after. The other staff on the experiences were also amazing. Excellent experience will definitely returnread moreread less
- Jo Howell 19/08/2026Absolutely incredible experience on the Phoenix! From the very beginning all staff were so friendly whilst getting you geared up. You then take a 15 minute bus ride to the first of two zip wires! I was petrified but the adrenaline rush you get is incredible! Huge shout out to the staff, every single one of them were brilliant especially Katie, Kian, Oliver and Mark. There was another whose name I forgot plus the driver up to the top! Will definitely visit again!read moreread less

- matt beer 17/08/2026I had a great time at this adventure venue! The check-in process was smooth and the rides, especially the Phoenix and Tower Coaster, were exhilarating. However, the food service left a lot to be desired; we waited ages for our order, and the menu options were a bit limited as could only order breakfast items but the service was so slow, 40 minutes waiting and it was quiet, lunch items came out same time as our breakfasts. The toilets could've used some extra attention too, as they were a mess by the time we left. Overall, the staff were friendly and helpful, just a few hiccups that need sorting out!read moreread less
- Ella Fergusson 15/08/2026I went there for my friend‘s birthday and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done!! I was really really scared to go on the Phoenix but I ended up doing it and I loved it so so much. The staff were very very nice and very kind also very talkative when you got off the ride and asked how you enjoyed it and they were very helpful would definitely recommend it to friends and family had the best experience there thank you!!read moreread less
- Shen Siva 14/08/2026Amazing day out, did 75% of the activities available. The phoenix is what you go for.Two little boys 9 and 7 had the best time. The whole team there were so welcoming; they maintain a difficult balance of friendly but professional in regards to your safety.Special mentions for Beckie on check in, Clive informative and helpful as well as Adam and Andy fun but professional!read moreread lesspiotr dabek 14/08/2026I have a huge fear of heights, so I was absolutely terrified before doing this! But it turned out to be an amazing, unforgettable experience. The video from my helmet, including me screaming my head off, is absolutely priceless 😂😂 I would 100% do it again! An incredible experience from start to finish. Highly recommended! 🤩read moreread less
- Rayana 14/08/2026i only went on the rollercoaster thing but the wait to get the wristbands took long. but it was nice and the ride was a bit short but you can go three rides so its fine. there is a little camera on the cart that records you and when it drives it records you and then in the end you get a receipt with a qr code to scan and see the video. it was nice and you can see the views of the mountains and plants3 stars⭐⭐⭐read moreread less
- Lucy Lopez 11/08/2026The staff are super helpful and friendly. The entire experience ran smoothly start to finish and it was excellent fun. I would highly recommend this as a day out. We did two activities the booked to return the next morning, taking advantage of the discount. Well worth it!read moreread less
- ReadySetPrint 10/08/2026I went here and is was a sunday it was busy and had alot of activities i did zip lining and it was amazing it had beautiful views and was very fun. The staff was very kind. I also did the rollercoaster which was also amazing and had a great time. Overall i recomend to go on the zip line .read moreread less
- Zara McArdle 08/08/2026Excellent day out for the family. The high ropes were reasonably priced (with the cost of living so high for everything else!) so the whole family could take part. Kids are free over summer so we also had lunch and drinks. We were offered a second adventure for 50% off so the kids went on the coaster, we didn’t realise they would get 3 goes so it was good value for them. We had a lovely day out and will definitely visit again,read moreread less
- Elfed Jones 06/08/2026Visited with my Granddaughter aged 12.From the moment you arrive you are made welcome. Everyone works together like clockwork ensuring safety and building confidence. We did the Tower Flyer and our hosts Adam and Rob were outstanding!Very efficient in what they did but they did it in a relaxed way with loads of interaction and plenty of humour. They are both a credit to Zipworld!We will definitely be returning to do the more advanced Phoenix runs. Can’t wait!!!read moreread less
- Lucia Oakes 03/08/2026We had a great time at the car on track (forgot the name of the attraction). We had 3 go each and my son was terrified at first but the lady doing the checks helped him get the courage to get back in the car and he enjoyed after the first run.Only downside is the queue. Even though you get a slot you theb get in a queue and all other go's you need to get out and join a queue again and the queue gets bigger as other people are coming for later slots.The queue to check in is also a pain! I know there are a lot of checks to be done but it took a good 30 mins just to check in.We were offered other activities with a massive discount at the check in however we were in a rush to get back on the road back to England and I am glad we didn't take any other activities as would mean more waiting in queues and we would come home late at night!read moreread less
- Bharat Dhiman 03/08/2026We tried the phoenix zip lines and it was amazing, staff were brilliant and honestly made the whole experience.From entrance to the end the whole thing took around 2 hours. Repurpose of old mining site as Zip world is amazing. Phoenix covers 2 zip lines. You reach first one by minivan from the base and second one is small walk and 100+ steps.read moreread less
- Julian Radoni Lisacenco 01/08/2026We had an amazing time here today, especially on the Tower Coaster, it was absolutely brilliant! The reception staff were fantastic, friendly, fast, efficient, and incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. The ride attendants were just as wonderful, making us feel welcome and well looked after throughout our visit. We needed to use the queue assist/acces pass card for our autistic son, and the team handled everything with such kindness, professionalism, and understanding. A special mention has to go to Dylan, who was simply outstanding. He was patient, empathetic, and made sure our son's needs were met while still being professional throughout. Seeing our son give Dylan a high five at the end was such a special moment for us, as he usually keeps to himself. It really meant the world to our family.Dylan is a real credit to Zip World and a fantastic asset to the business. Huge thanks as well to the reception team and the management for creating such a welcoming and inclusive experience. We can't praise everyone enough and will definitely be back! Thanks everyone 🙏read moreread less
- David Kneil 30/07/2026What an experience! I went with my wife and two daughters. We were all able to go down the lines at the same time. The staff were very professional and thorough, which contributed to us all feeling safe. It's not the cheapest day out with the family but when you are sitting in your harness about to plunge into the abyss on the first zipline, which is nearly 1km long, with stunning views over Wales ( because it's so high)! it is so reassuring to know that numerous members of staff have checked over your equipment and have checked that it is all fitted and adjusted properly. The ziplines themselves were amazing. I would highly recommend that people give it a go.read moreread less
- danthepaint 26/07/2026Outstanding company . Staff were so good and customer service was brilliant from the moment we was greeted till we left . All staff were very happy and funny at times which was great. Staff reassured us and double and triple checked all our harnesses. Very good experience. Highly highly recommended.read moreread less
- Clair White 24/07/2026What a con!I booked over the phone using my Blue Light Card as an NHS worker because I was led to believe I was receiving a worthwhile discount. I even asked whether there were any additional discounts available, as we were booking every activity offered at this site.The total came to over £183 for two people. However, when we arrived, we discovered that had we simply booked at Zip World Towers on the day, we would have received 50% off the ticket prices. There was plenty of availability, so booking in advance offered no advantage whatsoever.This information is not made clear on the website. In fact, the website gives the impression that booking online in advance provides the best value, which simply wasn’t our experience.I feel misled and disappointed. As someone who deliberately booked in advance and tried to make use of the available discounts, I ended up paying significantly more than customers who booked on the day. Greater transparency about pricing and available discounts would have allowed us to make an informed decisionread moreread less
- Lauren 22/07/2026We had the absolute best time here , I was SO nervous to the point I was crying my heart out at the top but the girls up there was SOOO unbelievably lovely they were so calm, friendly and took the time to answer all my ridiculous questions and they let me take 15 minutes just sat in my harness to calm myself down before I got the courage to just do it and I’m so glad I did it was so amazing and the views are beautiful !! Defiantly reccomend !read moreread less
- Sian Corp 21/07/2026The ride was so fun and fast, my little boy was too small to participate in other rides but we will definitely be back.The whole team were also fabulous, from the lady at check in, the men at the start and end of the ride, and finally the staff in the restaurant area, at the ice cream stand and the bar. A wonderful team you have!read moreread lessLee Jones 21/07/2026Excellent fun but very, very pricey for what is essentially three minutes of zip lines. Spectacular views, incredibly friendly staff but the pricing is so, so high and then all the extras like charging for lockers, parking etc just take the gloss off things a bitread moreread less
- Cristina Grozea 20/07/2026The entire experience I paid for was fantastic, and I would recommend it. What I do *not* recommend, however, is the "good gesture" offered by the organizers. If you show up wearing the wristband, you get a bucket of popcorn. I was astonished to discover that this "wonderful" bucket was actually the size of a shot glass, and they wouldn't sell a larger portion for my child even if I wanted to buy one.I think I could count exactly five pieces of popcorn. Honestly, I felt humiliated—especially when I was told it was a "good gesture" on their part. I declined the offer.read moreread lessGemma Tomlinson 19/07/2026Spent the afternoon and visited Phoenix and Tower Coaster. Brilliant experiences, so much fun and worth the money. Queuing time for Phoenix was a little long so be prepared to be patient up the top if on a weekend / holidays. Gentleman doing the safety briefing for Phoenix was great - highly engaging and confident ensuring you felt really safe. Our third zip world location experience and won’t be the last!read moreread less
- Ken Newman 15/07/2026Located in a valley in the rolling hills of South Wales. We turned up just as they opened but with a flight as a walk in. It takes 2 hours to complete the adventure,that is get suited and booted, safety talk, mini bus ride to top launch stage. Flight over lake,lots of steps up next tower for final flight down to base. As for the crew they are polite and great fun helping you to relax. Had a very strong cross wind that buffered about, but added to the total experience. Well worth the experience. Hints dropped for granddad present 🎁. Thanks to all the 👦guys for creating such a marvellous memory.😃. Video is a great buy to show what you can do.read moreread less
- Carla J 12/07/2026We attended the Sip and Paint night at Tower. It was the firat time the event was held and it was just a friend and I were in attendance. The night could have been cancelled due to poor numbers, but no. We were treated like VIPs, given the best table, and were regularly checked in on. Some of the best cocktails ive ever had and a lovely share plate of nachos, that we could not finish.It was a fantastic experience and we can't wait to come again for the next paint and sip.read moreread less
- Mufaddal Parsola 11/07/2026Zip World was an absolutely outstanding experience! We had an amazing time and enjoyed every moment. The safety standards were exceptional, which gave us complete confidence throughout the adventure. The staff carefully checked all the equipment, harnesses, hooks, and safety gear multiple times and explained everything clearly before we started.The team was professional, friendly, and well-organized. They transported us to the top of the mountain, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish.We tried both the longest zip line and the fastest zip line, and both were unforgettable! The views, the thrill, and the excellent service made it an experience to remember. We would definitely love to come back again and highly recommend Zip World to anyone looking for an exciting adventure.read moreread less
- gamer tamer elson 01/06/2025We had a great time from start to finish. No messing about and the staff were very friendly. I had made a big mistake by booking for the Friday and the staff kindly changed it to the Saturday for me as we were not even in Wales on the Friday. I just got my dates mixed up. The restaurant was clean and inviting and whole place was dog friendly.read moreread lessJenni Williams 31/05/2025Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Lovely welcoming staff, nothing too much trouble. Seamless and organised throughout the whole day. Phoenix zip wire was fantastic, looking forward to doing it again soon. The care and attention taken to ensure your safety is excellent. Customer service and care is second to none. Food in the cafe was fresh, plentiful and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to everyone as there's lots there for younger kids to do too.read moreread less
- Barry Turnbull 27/05/2025Phoenix was a great experience my son aged 8 loved it. The tower coaster was good, unfortunately at the time very wet! Staff were helpful and instructive. The only problem we had was at the end when I was told I should have had a code for my prepaid video, which I hadn't been given, I then had to queue again. But they sorted it, I just had to wait due to how busy it was.read moreread less
- vicki loxley 25/05/2025Absolutely awesome, especially in atmospheric mist! Fast, exhilarating and makes you feel amazing. Super friendly team of staff with expert care for the whole experience.
