Zipworld’s Titan, Bounce Below and Caverns are a must do for a fab, fun day out!!

Highly recommend visiting Zipworld at their Slate Caverns site! We booked in all 3 activities on a bank holiday and we were there for the whole day: Titan, Bounce Below and Caverns we completed in one. Visiting with friends meant we spent the whole day laughing but also challenging ourselves with heights and obstacles, especially on the Caverns tour. The staff were incredible; so polite and helpful. After Titan we were so excited to see our videos but were told they may have not worked. Matthew kindly double checked the systems and found all our videos and photos for us, reassuring us they were there and continued to explain how to download these- definitely a good memento for the day! Fab videos! With checking into each activity beforehand, Jake was lovely to us, making sure we were in the right place at the right time, he helped us with lockers and tips for what would be best to wear etc. Both Matthew and Jake gave us a lovely customer experience throughout the day and made our adventure at Zipworld very memorable, making sure we all had fun. Thank you to Matthew and Jake for making our adventure one to remember!!

Thrilling, nerve racking, fantastic!

Absolutely amazing experience. The caverns are huge, the route challenging and the zips exhillerating. You're given gloves and a very good lesson on how to use the equipment, then off you go... enjoy!

Great fun on Titan zip wire

The Titan Zip Wire consists of three lines, each a short walk apart. You ascend the mountain by mini bus for the first line. This offers amazing panoramas across the valleys, the second is faster over looking the mines and the last comes back into the Zip World site.  Great for families as you can have four people descend at the same time. Our group had a mix of families and couples.  Terrifyingly brilliant.

One hour of Family FUN!!!

It's a great activity, We visited with here with the family. ages ranging from 50+ to mid-20s.  The nets are great fun. It's a must visit if you are in Wales.  The drive up to ZIP World is spectacular with great views.

Such. Good. Fun.

Visited on 5/7/18. Amazing time had at bounce below.  Lots of space so didn't feel crowded. Staff were friendly, fun and helpful.  It's cold in the carverns but don't be tempted to 'wrap up' - you will soon be very warm! Spectators have a bench to sit on with a good view of the caverns. Blankets are available to keep spectators warm.  Drinks vending machine and water butt with free water are available in the caverns.  Go. Take the kids. You will not be disappointed. Worth every penny spent.  Next time we'll book the zip line too.

A beautiful place that is action packed

My friends and I went as a group of 4 on 7th July and we did the caverns and Titan at Zipworld both of which I would highly recommend. I was incredibly nervous at first as I am not great with heights but the safety training was fab and the staff were really patient and reassuring. The caverns itself are really pretty so there is a lot to look at and the activity itself is loads of fun, the time flies by, at no point was I bored. At the end of the Caverns I realised I had lost my Fitbit and the lovely staff even managed to find it for me!!  We did the Titan second and I am glad because I felt a lot more confident with the zip wire by then. It was a really hot day but at each section, every staff member we met was happy and friendly even in the baking hot sun, nobody ever complained. I would highly recommend this place and definitely go again.

Exhilarating!

Spent a day at the Zip World Slate Caverns. Titan was great - 3 zip-wires taking about 1 hour 30 mins. Then later in the day - the two teenagers in our party did the Caverns and couldn’t stop talking about it on the way home ! It took 2 hours 30 mins so felt like good value for money. The staff were very professional, enthusiastic and friendly. A slick operation that felt very safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend it.

Bounce below - soooo good!

We had a fantastic time at bounce below! The sensation is pretty odd at first and it is hard work but so much fun!   The thing that made our experience were the staff. All so friendly and helpful. Particularly the lady (unfortunately I don’t know her name) who helped us on reception when our Virgin experience voucher didn’t work (no fault of Zip World). I can honestly say I can’t remember the last time I experienced customer service like it.  Definitely a must try if you’re in the area!

Worth the money!

The highly rated reviews I've read on here give great info that I would echo. I found it a bit chilly and recommend long sleeves and pants, and shoes with a grip. I didn't realise it is self guided, so the training at the beginning is important. I felt completely safe the whole way through, and it added to the adventure. If you're planning on bringing kids make sure they are ok with dark spaces and being by themselves on platforms. Also, some of the connections were quite a reach. Overall had a fantastic time, the entire process is smooth and easy to follow, the staff are helpful, it was safe, and most importantly, it was a lot of fun!
