New at Riverbanks Zoo: Zipline by moonlight

Riverbanks is taking adventure to an all-new level with the debut of Moonlight Zip tours beginning Thursday.

Two journeys will take off from the Botanical Garden each night, sending guests gliding through the tree tops and over a rickety bridge before zooming more than 1,000 ft. across the lower Saluda River under the stars.

Each zip participant is strapped into a full-body harness that is attached to an overhead trolley and connected to a cable suspended in air. Guests must weigh between 70 lbs. and 250 lbs. to take part in the course.

Moonlight Zip tours will take place Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. for a limited time only. Reservations are required. The cost is $50 for Riverbanks members, $65 for the general public.

Reserve your Moonlight Zip tour online at www.riverbanks.org.
