A day out with colleagues at Ziptopia: laughter, bouncing nets, and zip lines!

You know your day is going to be memorable when you plan to zip-line 50 feet in the air and jump into a course of bouncing nets. That’s right! That’s exactly what happened during our outing with colleagues and their children at Ziptopia in Saint-Philémon!

After a short walk through the forest, you come upon a superb reception building nestling among the trees. It’s a little gem: there’s shade, tables to relax on and a counter where you can buy sweets. I can tell you that we made the most of it at the end of the day! Before putting on our harnesses, the staff let us explore Ziptopia Village. It was love at first sight for the children. Imagine a huge playground suspended in the trees, with bouncing nets, slides, suspension bridges and places to climb, jump and laugh endlessly. My colleagues’children went wild. And honestly? So did I! I had way too much fun having an impromptu balloon fight in the nets with them!

When the time comes, we put on our harnesses – which are really comfortable, by the way – and receive all the safety instructions. Then it was off to the aerial courses and zip lines.

Well, I’ll be honest, my legs were a bit weak on the first platform. But you’re really well secured, the installations are solid and well thought out… and above all, the fun quickly takes over. In fact, the children completely amazed me: they climbed, dashed and crossed the bridges like pros. The courses are designed for all levels, with heights ranging from 10 to 55 feet. Whether you’re a beginner or a daredevil, everyone can go at their own pace and find their own challenge!
