BUILDING ON THE GUEST EXPERIENCE AT THE ZOO
RCI Adventure Products built and installed a custom 3-level Sky Trail® ropes course and a 4-rail Sky Tour® for Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. Sky Tour is our modernized zipline excursion, taking guests on a smooth, thrilling ride. Each rail is approximately 100-feet in length. The Sky Trail® course also features a wide arching Sky Rail® that curves around the parameter of the course. This amazing course is set beautifully against a forest backdrop and the color scheme helps it build into the surrounding environment. In addition to the main course, RCI also installed a custom Sky Tykes® course featuring a 40-foot Sky Rail® and 11 obstacles.
