The Ajloun Forest Reserve zipline runs a 330m adult line, with a shorter, lower children's line (from age 6 / 120cm) alongside it — so parents and kids can ride together rather than one adult sitting out while the other supervises.
Why It Works So Well for Families
Most adventure activities in Jordan skew toward adults or older teens (technical canyoning, multi-pitch climbing). Ajloun's zipline is one of the few genuinely thrilling activities built with a real children's option alongside the adult experience, set inside oak and pistachio woodland rather than a generic adventure park.
What to Expect
The reserve itself is worth the visit independent of the zipline — a guided hiking or mountain-biking circuit through the woodland with an RSCN ranger is a common pairing, along with a visit to Ajloun Castle nearby.
Age and Size Requirements
The children's line requires a minimum age of 6 and height of 120cm. Children below this threshold can still enjoy the reserve's walking trails and Ajloun Castle while older siblings or parents use the lines.
Where This Fits
The Ajloun zipline is a Day 2 stop on our Jordan for Families itinerary, paired with a kid-framed visit to Jerash earlier in the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the zipline safe for nervous first-timers?
Yes — it's operated with standard safety harnessing and staff guidance, and the children's line specifically is scaled down in both height and speed from the adult line.
Can adults and kids ride at the same time?
Yes — the two lines run alongside each other, so families can experience it together rather than taking turns.
