HIGH GRAVITY ADVENTURES

BLOWING ROCK, NC

High Gravity Adventures is located between Boone and Blowing Rock, right off Highway 321 near Tweetsie Railroad, making it easy to add to a High Country vacation itinerary. The property is set up like an outdoor adventure basecamp, with aerial courses, zip lines, a giant swing, ground activities, shaded observation areas, picnic tables, snacks, drinks, and space for families and groups to gather before and after their activities. It has that mountain adventure feel without being too far off the beaten path.

The location offers more than just one activity, which makes it a good fit for mixed-age groups. Younger kids can take on the Foothills course, older kids and adults can challenge themselves on the Blue Ridge course, thrill-seekers can add the zip line tour or giant swing, and non-participants can watch from the ground. With group adventures, field trips, birthday party options, and seasonal outdoor fun, High Gravity Adventures works well as a family outing, vacation stop, or active group experience.
