Forget the honky-tonks for an afternoon — Nashville’s happiest adventure might just be floating through the treetops. The Fontanel Zipline Forest Adventure turns the rolling green hills just north of Music City into your personal playground, and the views are as sweet as the melodies downtown.



You’ll glide along six separate zip lines covering about 1.5 miles of majestic old-growth forest on the historic Fontanel estate — the peaceful hilltop retreat built in 1988 for country music superstar Barbara Mandrell. Sailing through the air on steel cables, you’ll catch bird’s-eye views of Tennessee hills that most visitors never get to see.
Tours operate year-round, so every season brings a different show: spring greens, summer shade, fall gold and a crisp winter sky. Professional guides handle the safety harness and zip pulley system for you, so all you have to do is smile and enjoy the ride. Rated 4.89 stars by more than 700 happy flyers and starting at just $59.90, it’s an easy yes for families, friends and groups of every kind.
