Are There Any Ziplines In Singapore?
Yep, there sure are! Not only do Singaporeans work hard, but we sure know how to have a good time!
Here’s the skinny on them all.
3 Ziplines in Singapore
1. MegaZip at Mega Adventure Park, Sentosa Island
What do you get when you mix trampolines, a ropes course, a zipline, and a freefall experience? You’ve got the Mega Adventure Park on Sentosa Island that certainly earns its name!
Ziplining is only one of the things you can do at the park, which boasts a zipline that will whizz you 60 km/hr across Siloso Beach for a whopping 450 meters (MegaZip).
You’ve got to be at least 90 cm and 30 kg for MegaZip, but anyone less than that can still ride tandem. The zipline goes over 75-meter-high treetops to the white sands of Siloso Beach.
The park also has a 15-meter freefall experience as part of a 36-obstacle adventure ropes course (MegaClimb) and an 8-meter bungee-assisted trampoline (MegaBounce).
Mega Adventure Park is open Mondays to Sundays from 11 am to 6 pm. MegaZip costs SGD$59 online, and entry to two or all three attractions costs $89 and $99, respectively.
Entry to MegaZip at the counter will cost $66, so check out their site before you head to Sentosa!
2. Forest Adventure 300m Zipline, Bedok Reservoir Park
Tucked away in the lush Bedok Reservoir Park on Singapore’s east side, Forest Adventure has three zip lines, including one that goes 300 meters across the reservoir.
There are three courses in the park:
Grand Course
44 high ropes crossings and three zip lines. This course isn’t guided, so you can swing and explore independently. Instructors will be on the ground to assist you if needed.
A ticket costs SGD 38.90 from Monday to Friday and $50.90 for weekends, public holidays (PHs), and eve of PHs. The minimum height for the course is 145 cm, and children under 12 need to be accompanied by a buddy over 14.

Ideal for kiddies from 5 to 9 years, the Kids Course has 22 obstacles and two zip lines. The minimum height is 110 cm, and kids under seven must be accompanied by someone over 14.
Tickets cost the same as the Junior Course. The difference is that instructors will follow the child for the first few obstacles but only for part of the course.
3. Adventure HQ’s Indoor Roll Glider
Wanna have some outdoor fun indoors? Adventure HQ is Singapore’s first multi-installation indoor playground! The facility has a roll glider, a 14-meter slide, a 165-meter artificial cave, and a 16-obstacle ropes course.
The Roll Glider isn’t exactly a zip line, but it works in the same way; see in the video above! Their opening hours are:
Monday: Closed

Wednesdays to Fridays: 2 pm to 5.30 pm and 6 pm to 9.30 pm

How Much Does Ziplining Cost in Singapore?
Expect to pay between SGD $38.90 and $68 to go ziplining in Singapore. In American dollars (USD), this is equivalent to approximately paying $29 to $50, which is considered a really good price for ziplining.
Forest Adventure in Bedok Reservoir charges $38.90 from Monday to Friday and $50.90 for weekends, PHs, and eve of PHs for the Grand Course, and $30.90 for Mondays to Fridays and $40.90 on weekends PHs, and eves of PHs for the Kids and Junior courses.
MegaZip in Sentosa Island charges $59 if you buy it online and $66 at the counter.
What Should You Wear Ziplining in Singapore?
Whether you are on a zip line or the Roll Glider, you will be wearing a harness, so wear a sleeved T-shirt and bermudas or pants to protect your skin from any scrapes or abrasions.
Flip-flops and slippers are a strict no-no, as they can fall off your feet and hit someone on the ground! Waist pouches or bags are also a no-no.
Is Ziplining Safe In Singapore?
Singapore has strict safety standards and qualified instructors and guides. The likelihood of an accident is extremely rare, although, in 2011, an Australian tourist broke his back when the braking mechanism failed on the MegaZip line. In addition, a 10-year-old student was hurt when she fell from a zip line that her school had set up.
Carefully follow weight restrictions and age requirements and listen to the safety speeches provided. You put yourself and others at risk when you do not follow the rules and regulations set by a company.

GX-5 Extreme Swing and Slingshot
Conveniently located in Clarke Quay, this double attraction will send your guts into your throat. The Slingshot is an oldie but a goodie that shoots you 70 meters into the air at 160 km/hr speeds, and the GX-5 falls 40 meters at 120 km/hr speeds. That’s pretty darn fast. We suggest you keep your stomach rather empty!
Opens from 4.30 pm to 11.30 pm every day.
See the GX5 and the Slingshot here on their website.
