Audio Guide of Zipit Forest Adventures

Zipit Forest Adventures in Boyle operates mainly during the warmer months, generally from Easter to October, with opening hours that vary by season (weekends and public holidays outside the school term, and daily during summer). It is highly recommended to book your experience in advance through their official website, as sessions have limited capacity and tend to sell out quickly, especially on weekends and school holidays.

Prices at Zipit Forest Adventures vary depending on age and the length of the experience (generally 2, 3, or 4 hours), ranging approximately from €25 for children to €35 for adults for a standard session. Prices include all necessary safety equipment (harness, helmet, gloves), an initial training session, and access to the different difficulty levels of the treetop adventure park. For the latest exact prices and any group or family discounts, I suggest checking the official price list on their website.

A typical visit to Zipit Forest Adventures lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the option you choose when booking. This includes the welcome session, safety briefing, and equipment fitting (around 30–45 minutes), plus the actual time spent climbing and enjoying the different courses and zip lines. We recommend allowing at least 3–4 hours in your schedule so you can enjoy the experience without rushing and change clothes comfortably before and after.

Although Zipit is a modern adventure attraction focused on active outdoor leisure, it is located in one of Ireland’s richest heritage areas. County Roscommon itself, and the Boyle area in particular, are full of history, with highlights such as Boyle Abbey, Lough Key, and the green landscapes that characterize the region. It is a fantastic and active way for families to connect with Irish nature before or after exploring the area’s rich historical heritage.

The best time to visit is from April to October, when the weather is more favorable and the park operates at full capacity. If you want to avoid crowds, weekdays outside school holidays are generally quieter, while weekends and public holidays are the most popular times. Early mornings are usually clearer, allowing you to enjoy the courses more without waiting.

Zipit Forest Adventures is an outdoor adventure park in a natural setting with uneven ground, and the main activity involves climbing and physical effort, so it is not designed for people with reduced mobility or significant physical limitations. Access to the starting areas of the courses may be difficult for wheelchair users. If you have specific questions about a physical condition or accessibility, it is best to contact them directly to assess your situation.

Boyle is a gateway to Connemara, and nearby you will find the majestic Boyle Abbey, the historic King House, and the beautiful Lough Key Forest Park, ideal for relaxed walks. In addition, you are a short drive from the spectacular Mayo coast and coastal towns such as Ballina, perfect for a seafood meal. It is an ideal area to combine adventure at Zipit with culture and classic Irish landscapes.

Wear comfortable sports clothing and trainers with rubber soles; avoid skirts or dresses, and tie back long hair. Although they provide gloves, you may want to bring light cycling or gardening gloves for extra comfort. Arrive at least 15–20 minutes before your booking for check-in and get ready for a day full of adrenaline and laughter outdoors in the forest.
