John Ball Zoo

Grand Rapids, MI

“John Ball Zoo added a Sky Trail® and CTS Zip Line as a way to help generate revenue while providing edutainment for our guests. Most people are drawn to the adventures for one of two reasons. Either they have never participated before and the attraction is overwhelming; or they enjoyed their past experiences so much they wish to participate again. These experiences have increased zoo attendance due to their popularity.” – Tim Duthler, John Ball Zoo
